Building Permits
Zoning check, code analysis, drawings, application filing, and plans-examiner correspondence handled from the same office. We work across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and the surrounding municipalities.
Package contents
A complete permit submission requires drawings, code analysis, a consistent architectural and structural set, and energy compliance where applicable. All components are prepared under one roof so the submission is consistent at filing.

- 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
Submission process
Each step has a defined output. Zoning is verified before drafting begins, the code analysis is written into the drawing set, and any plans-examiner comments are answered directly by our engineers.
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 of record, drawings revised, and the file re-submitted. Most files clear comments in one round.
