Cost of Home Construction in Ontario
Home construction is growing exponentially and designs improve every year. Rural areas grow into small towns and those transform in large cities. Good examples of those are Barrie, Peterborough, Thunder Bay, Brantford and Hamilton. Infrastructure is growing and with it the salaries attract more people to reside.
The entire budget for home construction depends fully on materials used and cost of labour. Going more off the grid automatically means less expensive finishes and probably cheapest products used in home development. In GTA and Montreal is exactly the opposite. Wealthy people want biggest homes and latest features that will differentiate them from the rest. With immigration and good economy flow in Ontario, more and more people can afford to build luxury homes and drive average price up.

FAQs
One of the most popular types of new houses in Ontario is construction of cottages. The province has tons of beautiful lakes and everyone wants to have a getaway place by the water. Cottages are becoming luxury homes and good source of income for weekend or weekly rentals. Because of high demand and competition new cottages have the quality of modern homes in large cities. The cost to build log house or cottage with delivery issues to hidden places in woods by the lake are averaging $370 per square foot.
There is barely any luxury items seen in design and build for houses in rural areas of Ontario. Restriction on new construction and current bylaws are very weak, which makes the soft costs low. The houses are constructed for an average of $270-320 per square foot. The labour on the project will be cheap, but will lack quality. Usually only cheapest finishing materials can be found and used for house in unpopulated areas. Deliveries of materials and lack of professional labour is one of the most common problems in Townships.
Population is spread through the territory of our province and new houses are built everywhere with increase of population. There are around 50 cities that are developing but still have costs lower then megacities.

If you want to build new custom home in one of small cities of Ontario you are looking to spend close to $250-$300 per square foot.
South Ontario is considered to be more developed and more populated. Desirable regions are around Toronto and Ottawa areas.

House construction can be as easy as dropping in model home or planned subdivision production to very large and complex houses that take years to complete. Obviously more sophisticated houses will take more time construct. It may reflect in height of the levels, indoor pools, saunas, game rooms, elevators and many other additions. The material can jack up the cost per square foot as well. Houses in most expensive area of Ontario are built for north of ten million dollars and include materials that are unheard of in regular markets.
