$40,000 to $900,000+ depending on scope and level. A cosmetic refresh with no structural changes runs $40K–$120K. A full functional upgrade with layout changes and mechanical work typically costs $120K–$350K. A complete gut and rebuild from studs starts at $350K and can exceed $900K for large homes with luxury finishes. Your exact cost depends on home size, existing conditions, scope level, and finish selections. A ClearScope™ takeoff gives you the real line-by-line number before you commit to anything.

Because most contractors don’t follow a system. Quotes vary 2x–3x on the same job because different contractors include different things. One excludes tile. One forgets demo. One prices labour but not material. One underquotes to win the job and recovers in change orders later. ClearScope™ eliminates this — every line item is explicit, inclusions listed, exclusions listed. You compare like-for-like because everything is documented the same way.

Yes — 97% of our clients do. The key is phasing. Demo, structural, and rough-in work is sequenced and front-loaded. The first 2–4 weeks are the most disruptive — dust, noise, and no kitchen. After rough-ins are closed and drywall starts, the disruption drops significantly. We establish a temporary kitchen area, protect living zones with dust barriers, and schedule noisy work during business hours. By the time finishes start, most families are barely aware of the construction.

Not at all. Most clients come with a rough idea and a problem they want solved. That’s enough. We offer discovery calls specifically to help you get clear on scope, sequencing, and budget before anything is committed. We’ll show you what’s realistic at different price points and help you build a plan that’s grounded in what’s actually achievable on your property and timeline.

We plug in where you are. If you have permit sets, design concepts, or finish selections already locked, we start from those documents and build the ClearScope™ takeoff from them. We have executed against architect drawings, interior designer specifications, and client-supplied concept packages. Send us what you have and we’ll tell you exactly what we need to get started.

Change orders are rare because the scope is comprehensive from day one. When legitimate site conditions require adjustment — concealed structural elements, unforeseen mechanical configurations, or client-initiated scope additions — we document immediately, present clear options with transparent pricing, and proceed only with your written approval. No invoice surprises.

8 to 32 weeks depending on scope level. A cosmetic refresh runs 8–12 weeks. A full functional upgrade typically takes 14–22 weeks. A complete gut and rebuild from studs runs 24–32 weeks. The main variables are permit processing time (4–8 weeks for Toronto building permits), custom cabinet and millwork lead times, and structural complexity. At Spartan, the Gantt is locked before demo starts — your handoff date is a real date.

The ClearScope™ full home takeoff covers every division of work — demolition, structural, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, millwork, doors, windows, trim, paint, and permits. Every line item includes quantity, unit of measure, labour and material cost breakdown, and clear inclusions/exclusions. You receive the full Excel spreadsheet plus marked-up drawings by room and division. The takeoff is the foundation of your fixed-price proposal. Submit your drawings →
