A permit package designed to land on a plans examiner's desk ready to approve.
Zoning checked, code analysis done, drawings drafted, application filed, and review comments answered, all from the same engineer. We work across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and the surrounding municipalities.
An OBC-compliant submission, prepared in-house.
A complete permit package is rarely just drawings. Cities want code analysis, the designer information form, structural and architectural sets that match, energy review where it applies, and a clear narrative of what the project is doing. We assemble all of it under one roof.
- Zoning & pre-application check (setbacks, lot coverage, height, GFA)
- Architectural set, plans, elevations, sections, schedules, OBC matrix
- Structural set, foundations, framing, schedules, connection details
- Code analysis (Part 9, Part 3, change-of-use)
- Designer information form & BCIN coordination where required
- Energy efficiency design summary (SB-12 / SB-10) coordinated with designer
- Application filing via the municipal portal
- Plans-examiner comments answered directly
- Field inspections during construction
- Letter of Conformance at closeout
The six-step path to an issued permit.
Most refusals come from incomplete documentation, missing code analysis, or zoning that was not checked before filing. The workflow below is designed to remove those failure modes from the start.
Zoning & pre-application check
Setbacks, lot coverage, height, gross floor area, and any heritage / conservation overlay confirmed against the address before drafting begins.
Existing-conditions measurement
The existing building is measured and photographed. For complex sites we add point-cloud capture so the as-built is exact.
Architectural & structural drawings
The full set, plans, elevations, sections, schedules, structural details, and the OBC matrix, drafted to municipal standards.
Code analysis
Part 9 or Part 3 code analysis, spatial separation, occupancy, fire-resistance ratings, exits, and barrier-free where required.
Application filing
Toronto's End-to-End ePlan, Mississauga's ePlans, Brampton's BPP, Vaughan, Markham, and other municipal portals filed directly.
Plans-examiner correspondence
Comment letters answered by the engineer, drawings revised, and the file re-submitted. Most files clear comments in one round.
Permits we file most weeks.
House additions
Rear, side, and second-storey additions. Includes structural redesign of the existing house where required.
Basement legalization
Two-unit homes and secondary suites, fire separation, egress, ceiling height, and structural compliance.
Underpinning
Basement lowering with sequenced underpinning. Structural design, permit drawings, and inspection attendance.
Side entrances
Below-grade exterior stairs and entry, drainage, retaining, structural redesign of the foundation wall.
Decks & covered porches
Above-grade and second-storey decks needing structural permit drawings.
Detached garages
New or replacement garages, including masonry, light-frame, and ADUs above.
Custom homes
Permit set for new builds, architectural, structural, energy, and site coordination.
Commercial fit-outs
Tenant improvements, change of use, occupancy load reviews, and Part 3 code analysis.
Where we file.
Each municipality has its own portal, drawing standards, and review queue. We track them all so your file moves without a translator in the middle.
