Toronto is a secondary market for Revohouse — most of our work sits in Greater Montreal — but it is a deliberate one. We take on Toronto projects when the client relationship justifies running a project at distance, which usually means existing Montreal clients with Toronto holdings, or owners renovating in both cities concurrently. The Toronto delivery model is different from our Montreal work, and we want to be clear about it before any contract.
How we run Toronto projects
A Toronto Revohouse project has three layers. We provide design, project management, schedule, and accountability — the same single-point-of-contact model we use in Montreal. We engage a Toronto-based architect or designer of record for the stamped drawings the City of Toronto requires for permit submission. And we run construction with a vetted bench of Toronto trades — electricians, plumbers, framers, finish carpenters, tile setters — that we have worked with on prior projects.
What this means for the client: you still talk to one project manager, you still get the weekly written update, you still get a line-itemed estimate and itemized change orders. The licensed execution is local; the management is ours.
Project types in Toronto
Downtown condo renovations. Yorkville, King West, Liberty Village, Distillery District. Post-tensioned concrete slab, freight-elevator booking, board approvals, noise windows. Same technical discipline as Montreal high-rise condo work.
Victorian semi reconfigurations. The Annex, Leslieville, Riverdale, Cabbagetown, Roncesvalles. Centre-hall plans being opened up, kitchens being relocated, third-floor finishing. Heritage considerations in some neighbourhoods.
Yorkville and Rosedale residential design-build. High-end single-family work, often gut renovations or significant additions. Custom millwork, premium finishes, full design-build process.
Forest Hill, Lawrence Park. Established residential reconfigurations and additions.
Permits and process
Toronto building permits typically run 6–12 weeks for residential interior work. Additions and second-storey work involving the Committee of Adjustment can extend to 16–24 weeks. We coordinate the local architect, file at design completion, and order long-lead items in parallel.
Cost ranges in Toronto
Most Toronto residential renovations we run land between $150,000 and $1,200,000. Downtown condo: $80K–$500K. Whole-home Victorian semi: $400K–$900K. Yorkville and Rosedale design-build: $600K–$1.2M and up. Toronto trade pricing and condo-building requirements push these numbers higher than the equivalent project in Montreal.
Engagement model
We're selective on Toronto projects. Best fit: existing or referred clients, projects above $250K, design-build engagements where the design accountability matters as much as the construction execution. For Toronto-only one-off small projects we usually refer clients to a trusted local firm.
