Anyone who quotes you six weeks for a kitchen has never finished one.

Construction only:
Bathroom 2–6 weeks. Kitchen 8–12 weeks. Basement 10–14 weeks. Full gut 5–8 months.

Then add the part nobody mentions on the sales call: design runs 4–8 weeks, permits run 6–12. The clock starts long before the demo does.

This isn’t me being pessimistic. It’s me letting you plan your life — where you’ll cook, where you’ll sleep, when the kids are back in their rooms.

A contractor who gives you an honest schedule is telling you something about how they’ll handle the rest of it.

Comment TIMELINE with your project and I’ll send back a realistic start-to-finish schedule.

There’s $1,400–$2,400 a month sitting under your house.

Build cost for a legal suite: $60K–$180K. Toronto one-bed basement rents right now: $1,400–$2,400. Rough payback: 4–7 years, and you own the asset the whole time.

The word doing all the work in that sentence is legal. Separate entrance. Egress window. Fire separation. Ceiling height. Permits and inspections.

Miss one and you didn’t build income. You built storage — and a problem at resale.

Comment BASEMENT and I’ll send you the checklist we run before we price a single wall.

(Asking rents are down about 3% year over year, so underwrite low, not high.)

What GTA inspectors actually find behind the walls. None of this shows up until the wall is open.

1. K**b and tube wiring. Insurance won't renew until it's out.
2. Aluminum wiring. Needs the right connectors or it's a fire risk.
3. A 60 amp panel trying to run AC, an EV charger, and a hot tub.
4. Cast iron drain pipe, rusted paper thin from the inside.
5. A wall taken down years ago with no permit and no beam.
6. Vermiculite insulation in the attic. Can contain asbestos, test first.

Comment WALLS and I'll send you what each one usually costs to fix.

The city can make you open that wall back up. At your cost.

Needs a permit: adding or removing walls, new plumbing, creating a second unit, heating changes, cutting a new window opening.

Usually doesn’t: paint, cabinets and millwork, flooring, swapping a window for the same size in the same hole.

The expensive mistake isn’t skipping the permit. It’s finding out at the inspection, after the drywall.

Not sure which side you’re on? Comment PERMIT with what you’re planning and I’ll tell you straight.

$54K. $78K. $92K. Same house.

One of those is missing about $20,000 of work — and you won’t find out until week six, when it comes back as a change order.

Ask all three, in writing:
1. Permits and drawings — in, or out?
2. Demo, bins and disposal — in, or out?
3. If you open the wall and find old wiring, who pays?

The quote that goes quiet on any of these is the one that grows.

Comment SCOPE and I’ll send you the line items I’d expect on a job like yours. Free, no pitch.

“Can we move the island 18 inches?”

At design: $0–$400. It’s a line on a drawing.
At permit: $500–$2,000, plus weeks, because revised drawings go to the back of the queue.
At rough-in: $3,000–$6,000. Plumbing and electrical move, two trades get rescheduled, and everything downstream slides.
After drywall: $8,000–$15,000, because now you’re demolishing finished work to redo rough-in you already paid for.

Same question every time. The only thing that changed was when you asked it.

This is why we push so hard on the boring decisions up front — layout, plumbing locations, appliance sizes, lighting plan. Not because we love drawings. Because after demo day, every change is priced in drywall.
