In 2026, the London CMA recorded a 9.9% year-over-year increase in construction prices, the highest in the country. This is driven by a local shortage of skilled trades and high demand for residential upgrades in neighborhoods like Old North and Wortley Village.
Permit fees for a standard kitchen renovation in London typically range from $200 to $2,000. The City of London requires permits for any structural changes, plumbing relocations, or electrical upgrades, with a typical processing time of 10 business days.
Homeowners can expect to pay between $150 and $250 per square foot for a standard mid-range renovation. High-end custom projects involving structural wall removals or premium materials can exceed $400 per square foot.
A 25% to 50% tariff on imported wooden cabinets has significantly increased material costs. Local London contractors recommend sourcing Ontario-made cabinetry to avoid these import fees, which can otherwise add $3,000 to $7,000 to a typical project budget.
