The Renovation Planning Checklist
A 3-page checklist to plan your renovation with confidence: what to decide first, a realistic 2026 budget, which permits apply, how to hire the right contractor and how to keep the build on track.
What’s inside
Six Steps From First Idea to Final Walkthrough
- Know what you want: the questions to answer before you call anyone
- Set a realistic budget: 2026 starting prices for kitchens, bathrooms, basements and additions
- Check your approvals: permits, electrical, zoning and condo rules
- Hire the right contractor: what to ask for, and the red flags to watch for
- Plan a schedule that holds: typical timelines and long-lead items
- Stay in control during the build: updates, changes and the final walkthrough
Built from the renovations we plan and build across Toronto and the GTA, so the numbers and steps reflect real projects.
