Planning a Renovation in Toronto
Begin with clear goals, accurate measurements, a review of existing conditions, a realistic budget range, and a prioritized scope. Identify decisions that affect structural work, plumbing, electrical systems, HVAC systems, and permits early in the process.
Budget and Schedule
Include design, materials, labour, permits, inspections, contingencies, and temporary living arrangements. Material lead times and inspection schedules should be reflected in the project plan.
Choosing a Contractor
Compare relevant experience, insurance, references, communication, contract detail, and each contractor’s approach to trade coordination and quality control.
