Startup costs are estimated at typically around $20,000 to $80,000, depending on your tools, vehicle, insurance and the size of the team you set up. Treat this as an estimate and price your own equipment and cover before committing.

Monthly revenue is estimated at typically around $8,000 to $40,000, depending on how many projects you win and how large they are. That figure is revenue, not profit, so your costs come out of it.

Check contractor licensing, permits and inspections, which differ by province and municipality. Also check the liability insurance and bonding clients may require, utility capacity upgrades, condo approval times, current funding program rules, and WCB/WSIB registration once you hire.
