Regina is the lowest hard-cost market we curate, with expansive clay soils adding foundation cost on some sites. That is why the same drawings priced in Regina and in Toronto do not land at the same number even when the trades are the same.
On the preset build above, hard cost is $1,270,166 and everything after it — soft cost, charges, contingency and escalation — adds $469,911. Budgeting off a hard rate alone is the single most common way an early construction budget goes wrong.
