How much does fire damage repair cost in Toronto?

Permits filed to repair fire-damaged buildings in Toronto, with declared construction values.

18 permits with a declared value, trailing 36 months. Medians and quartiles only — one outlier can't move them.

We publish a per-square-foot rate only where floor area is what the price actually scales with. For this work the correlation between area and declared value is 0.00 — too weak for a rate to predict your project. Multiplying your floor area by a published $/SF number would produce a confident-looking figure that the underlying permits do not support, so we show the value distribution instead.

• How much structure survived — charred framing must be removed or reinforced, not cleaned.
• Smoke and water damage usually extend well past the burn area.
• Bringing the repaired portion up to current code, which can cascade into the rest of the building.
• Emergency shoring and make-safe work done before the permit was even filed.

Declared construction values on City of Toronto building permits (tier C), trailing 36 months, minimum 12 permits before a guide is published. A declared value is what the applicant stated the work is worth — it can sit below final hard cost, which is exactly why GROUND also publishes awarded contract prices.
