Methodology

Where our numbers come from

Most renovation pricing online is published by companies that want the job. Ours isn't, so here's exactly what we use.

Building permit records

Toronto publishes every permit it issues, with the construction value the owner declared. We read those by project type, ward and year, which shows what people really commit to spending.

Statistics Canada

Construction price indices and renovation spending tables. We use these to put older figures into today's dollars, and to see which way prices are moving before it shows up in quotes.

Contractor pricing survey

We ask working GTA contractors what they charge, line by line: cabinets, tile, trade rates. When a number comes from the survey, we say how many people we asked.

For contractors

Our readers turn up having read a full cost breakdown first. They're not shopping blind on price, they're ready to book work.
