Cost guides · GTA · recomputed continuously
What it costs, by the kind of work.
Every guide answers one question with GROUND's own corpus: the declared value of every permit of that type filed in Toronto, or the price the city actually paid. No quoted ranges, no vendor estimates — medians and quartiles from the public record.

Guides publish only where GROUND holds enough comparable permits to be honest about the number. As the corpus grows, more appear and the figures move with the market — these pages are recomputed, never rewritten by hand. Full cost index and evidence tiers →
