Model Price Is Not Project Price
A complete budget can include design, engineering, permits, utilities, grading, access, financing, contingency, taxes and exclusions beyond the structure itself.
Funding Timing Still Matters
A grant or loan does not necessarily remove the need to finance deposits and construction-stage payments. Confirm advance and reimbursement timing before counting funding as available cash.
Stress-Test The Rent
Use vacancy and operating costs, and compare affordable-stream assumptions with the current CMHC reference rather than relying on gross monthly rent.
