that does vary depending on if it is a load bearing/structural wall ... best way to find out the specifics for your suite is through the builder
Sorry if this question has been answered already here or elsewhere in the forum, but does anyone know what the standard thickness of interior walls are in condominiums? (I haven't moved in to my place yet so I can't answer that question for myself)
I'm looking to wall mount my tv and will need a recessed power outlet installed behind it. Thanks in advance!

Wall thickness is typically 5-6" for interior walls give or take a bit..
As for the outlet, that's something you would have had to pay for. Our builder had it as an option during color selection and it was 890$... For that price I believe they hire Thor himself to support and power your TV.
WOW
what builder if you dont mind me asking?
thats insane and should be illegal to charge that kind of $
I still dont care what anybody sais about upgrades, the consumer should at least have a price list with average or ballpark prices for upgrades, telling customers "you will find out during color selection" does not really go well with me, I am sure they know ballpark prices or average prices, they just dont want to tell you when you sign the papers because some of the prices are honestly just total b.s and totally over inflated!!!
HOWEVER, I do recall reading a post here mentioning that running romex (non-metallic sheathed electrical cable) behind a wall is against code for condos/hi-rises in Toronto. I'm assuming it's because the metal studs could potentially cut away at the cable causing a fire.
So if anyone has any recommendations for good, qualified electricians I'm all ears!
Hello I'm at the stage of choosing colour schemes and upgrades @Markham Place. Wondering if its worth upgrading to undermount sink for washroom $600,kitchen $1000. Other than it being easier to clean the countertop and the look(which is subjective) are there any other advantages? This is a starter condo don't plan on living there longer than 5yrs, plus being that it is in Scarbz I don't know if I can recover the cost as easily during RE as a place downtown
given the low price point of units in Markham Place, I generally do not recommend putting in upgrades as the future purchaser of your unit wouldn't care, they would likely only buy in the building because it was affordable
I think washroom undermount sink is unnecessary anyways, typically builder give you a one piece cultured marble (fake manufactured) counter top with integrated sink anyways, and with respect to kitchen undermount sink that is an upgrade I went for at Solaris but it only charged me $630 ... I think VHL is ripping you off to charge you $1000
