Typical Timeline & Cost Range
| Project Type | Typical Duration | Typical Range (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demo + New Build (2,000–3,500 sf) Rebuild | 10–16+ months | $350–$600+ / sf | Envelope level, site access, and custom finishes drive cost/schedule. |
| Laneway/Coach Home Accessory | 6–10 months | $300–$500+ / sf | Servicing, zoning, and energy step code affect pricing. |
| Major Site Works Site | +2–6 weeks | $25k–$150k | Rock excavation, shoring, drainage, and utility upgrades. |

Tear-Down & Rebuild — FAQs
How do timelines compare to a custom build on a vacant lot?
Rebuilds add demo/abatement and utility coordination up front. Expect similar build durations, with +4–10 weeks for hazmat, demo permits, and service work depending on site and municipality.
What financing considerations should I plan for?
Most lenders use progress-draw construction loans tied to milestones (foundation, framing, lock-up, finishes). We supply schedules, cost ledgers, and inspection letters to support draws.
Can we pursue fixed price?
Yes—when the permit/IFC set is complete and allowances are defined, CCDC 2 fixed price is available. If selections or market conditions are evolving, cost-plus or CM options keep momentum.
Do you handle energy step code and blower-door testing?
We coordinate energy modeling, envelope details, and blower-door testing with the design team to hit targets and document compliance.
Who manages demo permits and abatement?
We arrange hazmat surveys, coordinate abatement if required, and manage demo permits, utility disconnects, and erosion control before excavation.
