More space without moving house
Moving costs a lot before you own a single extra room. Land transfer tax, agent fees, lawyers, movers, and a new mortgage at whatever rate the market is offering. An addition puts the money into the house you already like, on the street you already chose.
It is also the most complicated thing we build. An addition needs zoning approval, a building permit, structural engineering, a foundation, and six or seven trades working in the right order. Most companies hand at least half of that to someone else.
We do all of it. Your project manager is a licensed architect who draws the plans, files the permit, and is on site while it is built.
What kind of addition fits your home?
Rear addition
Extends the main floor for a bigger kitchen, family room, or dining area. The new space is planned to connect naturally with the old, so it does not look patched on.
Side addition
Adds a mudroom, an entrance, a bedroom, or extra main floor space. We check the lot, the setbacks, and the zoning rules before any design starts.
Second-storey addition
Adds bedrooms or a full upper level without losing any backyard. Because the existing house has to carry it, we start with a foundation and structural assessment.
Home additions from $400–650/sq ft
These are planning ranges, not quotes. We give you a fixed price after we see the space.
Rear or side addition - $400 to $650 per sq ft
Second-storey addition - $450 – $700 per sq ft
Included in that price: design, structural engineering, and City of Toronto permits.
What moves the price: the size of the addition, the condition of the existing structure and foundation, how much roof and staircase work is needed, the exterior materials, the interior finishes, and whether the new space includes a kitchen or a bathroom.
Will the city let you build it?
This is the question that decides whether your project is straightforward or slow, and it is worth answering before you pay anyone for a design.
Zoning review
Every addition in Toronto goes through a zoning review before a building permit is issued. Most projects meet the existing rules.
Minor variance
If your addition goes over the height, setback, or lot coverage limits, it needs a minor variance from the Committee of Adjustment. That usually adds a few months.
We check first
We look at your zoning situation early, before you have paid for a full design, so you know which path you are on from the start.
Thinking about adding a second storey?
A second storey adds bedrooms or a full upper floor without giving up any of your yard. It is the most involved kind of addition, because the house you already have must carry the new floor. That means a foundation and structural review before anything is designed.
"Very different from a previous renovation firm that disappeared halfway through the job. Victorian Renovations was respectful and transparent from day one."
Bill A. — York

How long does a home addition take?
These are planning ranges. Before work begins, we provide a detailed schedule. Timelines can vary depending on the size of the addition and the scope of work involved.
Design
Usually 1 to 3 weeks
Permit
Usually 3 to 8 weeks
Construction
Usually 4 to 12 weeks
Minor variance
Usually 8 to 20 weeks
What moves the price: a minor variance at the Committee of Adjustment, unexpected foundation work, moving services, and weather during the foundation and framing stages.
High Park solarium side addition
The framing and glazing on this addition had rotted past their useful life. We took it down and rebuilt it completely: new structure, insulation, glazing, and finishes.
Markham St rear addition
We gutted the first and second floors, built a two-storey addition at the back, and supplied and installed a new kitchen — Markham Street, Toronto.

Home visit
We come to your home, look at the lot and the existing structure, and check your zoning situation. You get a clear plan and an honest answer about what can be built.

Design and engineering
Our architect draws the addition and the structural engineering is done. We set a fixed price in writing. Nothing moves forward until you approve both.
