Is it cheaper to do multiple bathrooms at once?

Yes, renovating multiple bathrooms simultaneously typically costs 10-20% less than doing them separately due to economies of scale, reduced mobilization costs, and bulk material purchasing.

Cost savings come from several factors. Your contractor can order materials in larger quantities, often securing better pricing on tiles, fixtures, and vanities. Labor costs are more efficient since the crew is already mobilized on-site, eliminating multiple setup and cleanup phases. Permit fees may also be consolidated, and you'll only disrupt your home once rather than multiple times over several years.

In Ottawa's current market, the savings can be substantial. For example, two mid-range bathroom renovations done separately might cost $18,000-$28,000 each ($36,000-$56,000 total), while doing both together could reduce the total to $32,000-$48,000. The exact savings depend on the scope of work and how similar the bathrooms are - identical layouts and finishes maximize efficiency.

However, consider the practical challenges. Having multiple bathrooms out of commission simultaneously can be inconvenient, especially in homes with limited bathroom access. You'll also need to make all design decisions upfront and have the full budget available at once. Some homeowners prefer spreading the financial impact over time, even if it costs slightly more.

The timing advantage is significant too. Material lead times for specialty tiles, vanities, or fixtures only need to be coordinated once. Your contractor can also maintain consistent quality and finish details across all bathrooms when working on them together.
