Are You a General Contractor?

You focus on what you do best. We handle the permits.

GTA Permits works with general contractors across the GTA as a dedicated permit partner. We take the entire permit file off your plate — drawings, application, city liaison, revisions, issuance — so you can keep your crews moving and your clients happy.

No more spending hours filling out a single municipal application. No more chasing examiners for updates. No more juggling drawings between engineers, draftspeople, and building departments.

Most of our new clients come from referrals. That tells you everything about how we work.

Why Homeowners and Contractors Choose GTA Permits

🏠

Turnkey Service — One Stop, One Contact

Other firms hand you drawings and leave you to figure out the rest. We handle everything from the first consultation through permit issuance. Drawings, submission, city correspondence, revisions — all under one roof.

📏

Drawings Built for Reality

Our permit drawings are designed with actual construction in mind. What we put on paper works in the real world — not just on the examiner’s desk. That means fewer change orders and no costly surprises during the build.

🗺️

We Know the City — Every City

We handle permit submissions across Ontario. We know which examiners are thorough, which departments are slow, and which forms to triple-check. That institutional knowledge shaves weeks off your timeline.

💪

We Push Back When It Matters

Not every examiner comment is valid. We are not afraid to challenge city feedback when it is unwarranted — professionally, with code references to back it up. Most firms just comply and add cost. We protect your scope and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Building permits in the GTA — answered plainly.

Do I need a building permit for my renovation? +
In Ontario, most structural changes, additions, basement conversions, and new construction require a building permit. Minor cosmetic updates — paint, flooring, cabinetry — typically do not. If you are unsure, call us for a free assessment.
How long does it take to get a building permit in the GTA? +
Timelines vary by municipality and project complexity. A straightforward residential permit in Toronto might take 4 to 8 weeks from submission. More complex projects can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline during our initial consultation — no surprises.
What is included in your permit drawing package? +
A typical permit drawing set includes site plans, floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and structural, mechanical, and plumbing details as required by your municipality. We also handle the application forms, supporting documents, and submission itself.
Do you handle the city submission and follow-up, or just the drawings? +
Both. We prepare the drawings, compile the full application package, submit it to the building department on your behalf, and manage all city correspondence through to permit issuance.
Can you work with my general contractor? +
Absolutely. The majority of our work comes from general contractor partnerships. We coordinate directly with your GC, offer flexible billing arrangements, and provide the kind of responsive service that keeps projects on schedule.
