Local FAQ

Canada estimating questions

Do you cover all Canadian provinces?

Yes. We deliver estimates for every province and territory with adjusted provincial labour, material and tax rates.

Can you produce bilingual French/English documents?

Yes. For Québec and federal projects we deliver bilingual EN/FR estimates and BoQs on request.

Do you follow CSC MasterFormat?

Yes. Default format is CSC/CSI MasterFormat 50-division. Elemental (Uniformat) breakdowns available for design-stage budgets.

Are HST/GST/PST included?

Subtotals are pre-tax with a separate tax-ready line by province (GST, HST, QST, PST) so estimators can apply the correct rate.

How do you price Toronto and GTA projects?

Toronto (M-postal codes) and GTA estimates use Ontario Building Code (OBC), TARION new-home warranty allowances, and Local 183 / Local 27 union rates where applicable. HST 13% applied on a separate line.

Do you handle Vancouver Step Code and seismic projects?

Yes. Vancouver (V5–V7) and Lower Mainland projects include BC Building Code, BC Energy Step Code 3–5 envelope compliance and seismic Cat-D framing uplifts. We benchmark against Home Depot Burnaby and Dick's Lumber pricing.

Can you estimate Montréal projects bilingually under Québec Construction Code?

Yes. Montréal (H-postal codes) estimates are delivered bilingual EN/FR, follow Code de construction du Québec, RBQ licensing requirements, and apply CCQ wage decree rates. GST 5% + QST 9.975% itemised separately.

Do you cover Calgary, Edmonton and Alberta oil-and-gas adjacent projects?

Yes. Alberta projects (T-postal codes) use ABC (Alberta Building Code), apply Calgary/Edmonton municipal amendments and reflect Alberta's no-PST regime — only 5% GST on subtotal.
