What do you need a permit for? (required)

A real person responds within 24 hours.

What’s included

This is the work itself, item by item. If your job does not need one of these, it is not on your estimate.

  • Zoning review

    What your lot permits for use, size, height and setbacks, checked before drawings start.

  • Measured drawings

    The existing building measured and drawn where no drawings exist.

  • Permit drawings

    Site plan, floor plans, elevations and sections prepared to the municipality's submission standard.

  • Structural design coordination

    Structural drawings prepared by a qualified engineering professional where required.

  • Application preparation and filing

    Forms, schedules and fees assembled and the application submitted.

  • Review response

    Comments from the examiner answered and revised drawings resubmitted.

  • Committee of adjustment

    Minor variance applications prepared and supported where the proposal needs relief.

  • Conservation authority and agency approvals

    Additional approvals identified and applied for where the site requires them.

  • Inspection scheduling

    Inspections booked and the permit file carried through to final approval.
