From First Call

A clear, simple process designed to remove confusion and deliver your permit drawings with zero guesswork — in as little as 5 business days.

Day 1 — Same day response

Free Consultation

Every project starts with a conversation. Reach out by phone, email, or our contact form and tell us about your project — scope, location, and what you're looking to build. We'll let you know exactly what drawings are required for your municipality, our timeline, and a flat-rate quote.

No-obligation project assessment

Day 1–2 — You provide existing info

Measurements & Information

We work from what you already have. For most projects, you can provide existing floor plans, survey documents, and simple dimensions. For complex projects or where no existing drawings exist, we advise on a brief on-site measurement visit. Clear, accurate inputs mean accurate, approvable drawings.

Rough sketches or dimensions of proposed work

We guide you through exactly what we need

Common Questions

Things People Ask
Before Getting Started

How long does the permit drawing process take?

Most residential projects are completed in 5–7 business days. Rush turnaround (2–3 days) is available on request for an additional fee.

Do I need to be home for measurements?

For many projects, existing surveys and simple homeowner-provided measurements are sufficient. We'll let you know upfront if a site visit is necessary.

What is a BCIN certification?

BCIN stands for Building Code Identification Number. In Ontario, any person who provides design documents for permit applications must hold a BCIN number registered with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. All our drawings are signed and sealed by a registered BCIN designer.

Will my permit be approved on the first submission?

We design our drawings to maximize first-submission approval rates by thoroughly checking against local zoning and OBC standards. In the rare event revisions are requested, we address them quickly.

Do you work with contractors as well as homeowners?

Yes. We work with both homeowners managing their own projects and professional contractors who need reliable permit drawing support for multiple sites.
