Range spans the cheapest to the priciest province at a mid-range finish, from the same engine as our cost estimator. It is a planning estimate, not a quote.
Decisions that make or break this plan
Treat the shop as a separate cost line
Shop space is priced far below finished living space. Estimate the two halves separately instead of applying one per-square-foot number.
Plan a firewall and separate zones
Where living meets shop, plan the shared wall, door, and air separation up front. Retrofits are messy.
Size the electrical service for the shop
Welders, compressors, and lifts drive the panel size, not the house.
Where to get a plan drawn
IronField doesn't draw plans. They come from your kit supplier, a local draftsperson, your builder, or a plan provider.
