Building / Development Permit Applications
Not every project needs full design services—sometimes you just need help getting through the permit process. We can step in at any stage to prepare and submit the required drawings and documents for your Building Permit or Development Permit. Our team communicates directly with the municipality on your behalf, addressing questions and ensuring your application moves forward without unnecessary delays. Whether it’s for a new build, addition, or renovation, we provide the expertise to make the permitting process straightforward and stress-free.
Variances
When your project doesn’t fully comply with local zoning regulations, a variance can provide the flexibility you need. We guide you through the entire process—preparing the necessary drawings and supporting documents, liaising with the municipality, and presenting a clear case for your request. Our goal is to make the variance process as straightforward as possible, helping you achieve your project vision without unnecessary delays.
Rezoning & Zoning Amendments
When your project goals extend beyond existing zoning regulations, we can help guide you through the rezoning or zoning amendment process. Our team prepares all required drawings, planning rationales, and supporting documents to clearly communicate your proposal to municipal staff and council. We work closely with local authorities to ensure your application aligns with community plans and development guidelines, helping you navigate each stage efficiently. From initial concept to public hearing, we provide the expertise and coordination needed to give your project the best chance of approval.
Stop Work Orders
​If your project has been issued a Stop Work Order, our team can help you navigate the next steps with confidence and clarity. We’ll review the order, assess the underlying issues, and work directly with the municipality or building inspector to bring your project back into compliance. Whether the concern involves missing permits, design changes, or code-related deficiencies, we prepare the required documentation, drawings, and correspondence to resolve the matter efficiently — allowing construction to resume as quickly as possible.
Site & Parking Plans
A well-designed site plan is the foundation of a successful project. Our team prepares detailed site and parking plans that illustrate how your building fits within its surroundings — addressing setbacks, access, grading, and parking layouts in accordance with municipal bylaws. Whether you need a plan for a new build, addition, or permit submission, we ensure every element meets local zoning and engineering requirements. With clear, accurate, and visually organized drawings, we help streamline approvals and set your project up for a smooth construction process.
Land Use Consulting
Our land use consulting services help you understand what’s possible for your property—before you invest time and resources. We assess zoning regulations, development potential, and municipal policies to identify opportunities and constraints, ensuring your project aligns with both your goals and local requirements.
