Two things set it: how many rooms the job takes in, and how much of the house moves. New floors, trim and paint throughout cost far less than taking out a bearing wall, rerouting drains or adding a storey, and an addition brings footings and framing of its own. Each part is priced separately on the itemized quote, and there are no hidden costs once work starts.
Typically 8 to 16 weeks, and 8 to 12 on average. Structural changes and additions push a job toward the long end, because their drawings and permit must be in hand before demolition. Living at home through the work does too, since the phases then follow one another, while an empty house lets the trades work through every floor at once.
For almost any whole-house plan, yes, because few of them stay cosmetic. The usual triggers are a bearing wall coming out, drains that move, a new heating system and an addition, and a whole house tends to collect several. Municipalities each keep their own list of permit work, and we check the one for your house. The drawings for every floor then go in together as one complete application.
That depends on whether you stay in the house. If you do, the plan divides it into phases, and each phase is finished and closed up before the next one is opened. Within a phase, structural work leads, since a new beam or opening changes the framing around it.

Whenever the work needs a permit, and structural work is permit work: moving a bearing wall, adding a beam or building an addition. The drawings show how the new load reaches the foundation, with an engineer's input where the structure calls for it, and the municipality reviews them before demolition starts.
People also ask
A beam takes over from the wall, and its ends sit on posts that carry the load down to footings in the basement. The beam can hang below the ceiling or sit flush inside it so the ceiling stays flat. A heating return in the old wall has to be moved, and the two rooms get one run of flooring, so no threshold marks where the wall stood.
People also ask
A new line to the house, built to the municipality's own specification. Barrie, for example, allows only Type K or L soft copper or MUNICIPEX PEXa, with the municipal side at least the size of the service into the house, and the permit needs a site plan of the new line. That is why a water service replacement is priced as its own item.
People also ask
Sometimes, and a whole house is where it shows, because every new load arrives in one plan: a heat pump, an EV charger, a new kitchen, a finished basement. We size them together against the existing service, not piece by piece. If they outgrow it, the upgrade happens once, on a day the utility cuts the power and reconnects only after ESA inspects the new service.
People also ask
For a house, the Building Code gives the municipality 10 days to review a complete application that meets its criteria. The clock only runs on a complete one, so a full set of drawings at submission is what keeps the start date predictable.
People also ask
It depends on how the house is split up. Opened all at once, it goes through one round of framing, plumbing and electrical rough-in inspections, then the finals. A phased job usually needs that round once per phase, because each part's walls close at a different time. An addition adds an earlier visit, for its footings, before its foundation is built.

Good to KnowA whole-house permit rests on its drawings, from the beam that replaces a bearing wall to the footings of an addition. Before you pay anyone to prepare them, Ontario advises checking that they are registered with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on the QuARTS public registry. Ours are drawn in house.
Almost all electrical work in Ontario has to be reported to the Electrical Safety Authority on a notification of work, often called the electrical permit, and a whole house needs one alongside its building permit. The job closes with ESA's Certificate of Acceptance, issued after the final inspection, which confirms the wiring in every rewired room meets the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Keep a copy for your insurer and a future sale.
A full home renovation lasting 8 to 16 weeks has a few stages that stop the house working, and the phasing is built around them: days with the water off while supply lines are replaced, a gap with no heat while a new system goes in, and the stretch between tearing out the kitchen and setting new cabinets. If one would leave the house unlivable, we help arrange temporary accommodation.
Doing the work before you move in avoids most of that. Raul Shamkhalov had us get his new home ready that way, and his review lists what it took: all the floors, trim and doors, a repaint of the whole place, the stairs redone and the basement finished. Everything, he wrote, "was done on time".
A second storey addition puts new weight on walls and a foundation that may not have been designed for it, so the structure is checked and drawn before anything is built. Building up keeps the footprint, which helps on a narrow lot. A ground-level home addition starts with new footings beside the old foundation, inspected before anything is built on them.
Where the addition meets the house, the old exterior wall is opened and the new framing is tied into the existing structure. The new foundation is built to the height that brings the new floor level with the old one, so flooring and trim carry through the doorway with no step.
In an older house, the original systems come into view once the walls are stripped to the framing. The walls are often plaster and lath rather than drywall, which is heavier to strip and haul away. Behind them there may be knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized steel supply pipes or a cast-iron drain stack, and the plan settles which of them are replaced while the walls are open.
Some materials are tested before any of that comes down. Vermiculite attic insulation, and in older houses some ceiling textures, pipe wrap and floor tiles, can contain asbestos, and the test results decide how that part of the demolition is done.
