“Completion Dates” Are Industry Fiction, Here’s Why

Toronto homeowners face a harsh reality: most construction timelines are meaningless promises backed by contract loopholes that protect contractors, not you.

The Problem with Standard Contracts

Traditional building contracts are loaded with escape clauses that allow indefinite timeline extensions. A single rainy day becomes a week-long weather delay. Minor material shortages stretch into month-long holdups. Subcontractor conflicts create endless bottlenecks, while vague “unforeseen site conditions” mysteriously appear when budgets tighten.

These delays aren’t just inconvenient—they’re financially devastating. Toronto families pay an average $180 daily for temporary accommodations during extended delays, plus ongoing mortgage payments for homes they can’t occupy. Restaurant meals, storage fees, and additional commuting costs compound the problem. What starts as a minor delay can easily cost homeowners $5,000-$10,000 in unexpected expenses.
