Expand Your Home — The Right Way

A home addition is one of the most significant investments you can make in your property. Whether you're adding a second storey, a rear extension, or a side addition, every square foot of new space requires a building permit — and that starts with accurate, compliant drawings.

We prepare all required architectural drawings and documentation to your municipality's exact standards, ensuring your application is complete and approvable from day one.

  • Site plans showing existing and proposed footprint
  • Floor plans for all affected levels
  • Exterior elevations (all four sides)
  • Building sections and construction details
  • Second storey and rear/side additions
  • Coordination with structural engineers where required

Reimagine Your Interior — With Permits in Place

Interior renovations that affect the layout, structure, or mechanical systems of your home almost always require a building permit. This is especially true when reconfiguring rooms, relocating bathrooms or kitchens, finishing a basement, or altering fire separations.

We prepare clear, detailed floor plan drawings that accurately represent both the existing conditions and your proposed changes — giving the city everything they need to approve your renovation efficiently.

  • Existing and proposed floor plan drawings
  • Basement finishing and underpinning permits
  • Kitchen and bathroom relocations
  • Attic conversions and loft additions
  • Secondary suite and in-law suite permits
  • Fire separation and egress compliance drawings

Open Concept Starts With a Proper Permit

Removing a load-bearing wall is one of the most common — and most frequently under-permitted — renovations in the GTA. Without a permit and engineered drawings, you risk failed inspections, insurance complications, and serious structural liability when you sell.

We prepare the architectural permit drawings and coordinate directly with a structural engineer to ensure your beam sizing, post locations, and load path are fully documented and approved by the city before a single wall comes down.

  • Load-bearing and non-load-bearing wall removals
  • Structural engineer coordination and stamp
  • Beam and post design documentation
  • Floor plan drawings showing proposed opening
  • Kitchen and living area open-concept conversions
  • Full permit application management

Build It Right — Build It Once

Any deck or porch that is 24 inches or more above grade requires a building permit in all GTA municipalities. This catches many homeowners off guard — but skipping the permit can mean costly fines, mandatory demolition, and serious problems at resale.

We prepare all required permit drawings for your deck or porch project, including site plans, structural details, and elevation drawings — making the approval process as smooth as possible.

  • Attached and freestanding deck permits
  • Covered and uncovered porches
  • Site plan showing deck location and setbacks
  • Structural drawings: footing, framing, connections
  • Guardrail and stair details to Ontario Building Code
  • Multi-level deck drawings

New Garage or Conversion — We've Got the Drawings

Building a new detached garage, adding a carport, or converting an existing garage into living space all require a building permit. Zoning setbacks, lot coverage limits, and height restrictions are different in every GTA municipality — and getting them wrong means a rejected application.

We know the rules. We prepare accurate site plans showing your property lines, setbacks, and proposed structure, along with full architectural drawings that satisfy your municipality's requirements from the first submission.

  • Detached and attached garage permits
  • New garage construction drawings
  • Garage-to-living space conversions
  • Carport permits
  • Site plans with setback and lot coverage calculations
  • Zoning compliance review included

When Your Project Doesn't Fit the Rules — We Can Help

Not every project fits neatly within zoning bylaws. If your proposed addition, garage, deck, or new build encroaches on a required setback, exceeds lot coverage limits, or doesn't meet the by-right zoning requirements, you'll need approval from the Committee of Adjustment before a building permit can be issued.

This is a formal municipal hearing process — and it requires a well-prepared application to succeed. We have extensive experience preparing the drawings, site plans, and supporting documentation that give your application the strongest possible chance of approval.

  • Minor variance applications (front, rear, and side yard setbacks)
  • Lot coverage and building height variances
  • Survey-accurate site plans for Committee submissions
  • Supporting drawings showing proposed vs. zoning requirements
  • Coordination with planners and legal representatives
  • Applications across all GTA municipalities
