Thinking of building your dream home instead of buying resale? 🏡
In Ontario, construction costs typically range from $300 to $800 per square foot—but a builder’s quote is just part of the story.
Before you start planning, make sure your budget accounts for:
🔹 Land costs & location differences
🔹 Municipal development & permit fees
🔹 Site prep & utility hookups
🔹 Architectural & engineering soft costs
💡 Pro Tip: Building a 2-storey home is often more cost-effective per square foot than a bungalow, as foundation and roofing costs are spread across more living space!
