01Cost benchmarks
Construction cost by market and building type
Every page below carries the curated hard-cost band for one city and one building type, plus the full stack that turns a hard rate into an all-in budget. Tier-3 markets carry only the anchor types, because a thin market does not justify a page per topic.

drummondville-qc to iqaluit-nu, $/sf
The spread between the cheapest and the most expensive market we curate is roughly 123 percent on the same warehouse shell. That gap is labour, logistics and levies — not quality.

Not advice — Buildlor is a data publisher. We do not bid, price, estimate, or build work, and nothing here is a quote, a tender price, or construction advice. Figures are indicative order-of-magnitude benchmarks for early budgeting and must be confirmed by a qualified cost consultant, quantity surveyor, or general contractor before you rely on them.
