Ontario Building Code Consulting Services
Code Compliance Review
Our code compliance reviews are led by a former building inspector with in-depth knowledge of Ontario residential building code, commercial code requirements, and zoning regulations. We review your plans for compliance with the Ontario Building Code and local bylaws — helping you avoid construction delays, permit denials, or expensive rework.
Permit Drawings and Municipal Approval Assistance
Getting a building permit in Ontario involves more than just drawings. We handle everything from drawing preparation to submission, ensuring your application meets municipal zoning and code standards — whether you’re building an ADU, fourplex, restaurant, or home addition.
Pre-Construction Building Code Consulting
Before breaking ground, consult with us to understand how the Ontario Building Code impacts your specific project type. Whether you're designing a deck, converting a garage into a dwelling unit, or building a mixed-use property, we provide guidance that helps prevent code violations before they occur.
