Foundation crack repair - structural epoxy injectionDryShield's epoxy tier, for bonding structural cracks where strength restoration is the goal. Same floor as polyurethane, higher ceiling. Neither the $800 floor nor the $2,500 ceiling this guide used to show is on their page.
Structural engineer hourly rate (Toronto/GTA)An hourly consultation rate for advice only. SEPCO puts Toronto and the GTA at the top of the provincial band, $150 to $300 per hour, for highest demand and fastest turnaround.
Bench footing - priced by floor areaBench footing keeps the existing footing and steps the new floor in from the wall, so it is cheaper than underpinning but gives up perimeter floor area. Nusite's timeline is four to eight weeks.
Underpinning a 1,000 sq ft basement lowered by 2 feet (total project)Nusite's worked example at their own $50 to $80 per square foot underpinning rate, over a four to ten week timeline. Permits, engineering, waterproofing, plumbing and finishing are all priced on top.
Structural engineer site inspection / assessmentOpen-ended at the top: SEPCO writes $600 to $1,200+. Covers a site visit, assessment and an optional letter or report.
City of Toronto minimum building permit fee (2026)A floor, not a range, and not the whole permit cost. The City charges $214.79 minimum on all work in 2026 and then calculates the permit as a service index times floor area; examination and inspection time is $92.79 an hour. Engineering, drawings, revisions and plumbing permits are extra.
