Permit Set

A Permit Set is a coordinated package of architectural, structural, mechanical, and energy-compliance drawings required by the municipality for building permit approval.
It is the final stage before construction begins; ensuring the project is safe, compliant, and ready to build.

Architectural Drawings Includes:

  • Site plans

  • Existing and proposed floor plans

  • Roof plans

  • Elevations and sections

  • Construction details

  • Door and window schedules

  • Demolition plans and specifications

Structural Drawings Includes:

Required for structural modifications, additions, second-storey additions, and major renovations, including:

  • Structural plans

  • Beam and footing details

  • Roof framing layouts

  • Structural notes and schedules

Mechanical and Plumbing Design Includes:

  • HVAC layouts

  • Ventilation strategies

  • Volume Calculation

  • Plumbing schematics

  • Mechanical notes

Energy Compliance (SB-12)

  • Energy efficiency documentation

  • Insulation and glazing requirements

  • Energy performance summaries

Municipal Documentation

Preparation and coordination of required municipal forms and permit submission documents.

Why It Matters

A complete permit package reduces construction risk, improves municipal review timelines, ensures Ontario Building Code compliance, and provides a clear roadmap for construction.
This phase transforms the approved design into technical documentation ready for permit approval and construction.
