What started out as a basement refinishing project ended up requiring some underpinning, waterproofing and structural reinforcement. The Capable Group team was able to handle the expanded scope and completed the job within the agreed to budget!

These are GTA market planning ranges in Canadian dollars, before HST, not a Capable price list. Your exact number follows a free estimate visit and a defined scope. A starting figure is not a promise that every room or house can be renovated for that amount. See the full-home cost guide.
Start with the changes that matter in daily use. If the layout and services already work, the budget can go into the kitchen, bathrooms, floors and finishes. Moving walls or services brings a different construction scope. Plan those connections before comparing prices room by room.
What can keep the scope simpler: retain a sound layout, useful cabinetry or finishes where appropriate; keep workable service locations; choose standard products that suit the rooms. If you phase the renovation, plan the connections first so one stage does not close access needed by the next.
What adds work: moving plumbing, opening structural walls, replacing major systems, correcting concealed damage and commissioning custom cabinetry or detailed finishes. A larger price needs an explanation of the work behind it, not just a package name.
A single kitchen, bathroom or basement needs its own scope and budget. Use the relevant guide below, then discuss the rooms and changes you want at your free estimate visit. Kitchen budget guide · Bathroom calculator · Basement calculator.
GTA market planning ranges start from about $100 per renovated sq ft for a finish-led whole-home update, around $175–$300 for more comprehensive work, and above $300 for structural or high-end renovations. An open 1,000 sq ft basement finish starts around $40,000, or about $40 per sq ft, without a bathroom. Benching starts around $38,000 and underpinning around $55,000, before finishing; full bathrooms from about $15,000. A small rear addition of about 250 sq ft has a construction planning starting point around $88,000, before drawings, engineering and permits.
Keeping a sound layout and services usually costs less than moving plumbing or opening structural walls. These are market references, not Capable prices or a quote for this property.

A basement finish and a legal second unit are different scopes. Tell us the intended use before drawings begin.
A finished basement and an approved second unit are different scopes. If you want an independent suite, describe that use from the start: the stair, entrance, service routes and separation between spaces affect the drawings and review. Finishes or a kitchen alone do not establish that a dwelling is approved.
Brampton provides different application packages for basement finishing, interior alterations and second units. Describe the full proposal, including structural changes and work beyond one room. We coordinate the required permits and inspections within the agreed project scope.
City of Brampton residential building permits · Ontario building-permit guide
Basement finishing, structural work, additional residential units, larger sheds and many decks can involve permits or inspections. Local zoning and conservation review may also matter where a property falls under CVC or TRCA oversight. Bring existing drawings and explain changes to walls, services or how the home will be used so the permit scope can be reviewed together.
Both are possible. A partial renovation focuses on particular rooms; a whole-home project may connect several floors, layouts and building systems. Kitchens, bathrooms, basements and main-floor work can be planned together. The right scope depends on what needs changing, your budget and timing. Additions, decks and other connected work can be discussed too.
Yes. Start with what you want to change, what is not working and what you want to keep. Bring any photos, drawings or quote you already have. Free 3D design and permit drawings before you sign help you review the proposed work; engineering, permit decisions and required inspections remain separate requirements.
Review the agreed scope, materials, allowances, permit responsibilities, disposal, exclusions and any work awaiting investigation. The quote defines which design, architect fees and drawings, materials and labour, debris disposal and post-construction cleaning are included. Structural extras need an agreed scope and price. Changes should be written out before extra work begins, with their effect on cost and timing explained.
There are no surprise travel-time costs, administrative markups or overtime charges. Compare a quote you already have.
Timing depends on the rooms, design decisions, permits and structural or mechanical work. A kitchen update and a whole-home renovation have different schedules. The site visit and scope review establish the useful timeline. Your finish date goes in the contract, with weekly photo updates and decisions coordinated through one project lead.
Yes. We assess the existing layout, plumbing, electrical and structure before the affected work is finalized. A pre-assessment looks for warning signs, but concealed conditions can still emerge during demolition, including moisture damage, old wiring, poor earlier work, asbestos or structural concerns. Necessary investigation and allowances belong in the scope discussion.
What to investigate in an older house · Investigating a basement leak.
It depends on the scope, access to essential rooms and your tolerance for noise and dust. Work in one area may allow you to stay; major kitchen, plumbing, electrical or whole-home work can make that difficult. Plan access and room closures beforehand. Dust barriers, controlled work zones, floor protection and daily cleanup help, but construction will not be silent or spotless.
Yes. Compare flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, paint, trim and hardware against how you use the rooms and what you want to spend. A sound layout or useful existing finishes may not need replacing. Where rooms connect, review their materials together; insulation, air sealing, windows and doors can also be considered within the agreed work.
The agreed work must account for Ontario building code and required permits and inspections. Keep the project documentation for future questions about the property; renovation does not guarantee a resale result. Capable has $5M+ liability insurance and WSIB coverage. See company and licensing details and the written warranty and claim conditions.
