RENOVATION / ALTERATION PROJECT

In undertaking home renovations or alterations, numerous decisions needs to be taken. These decisions will affect the overall project from a design, time and cost perspective. Knowledge of the optimal options always assist in making good decisions. Renovation-alteration projects that require structural, plumbing and/or electrical work needs permits as also adding windows and exterior doors. Whether it is a kitchen or bath or reconfiguring walls/layouts, it’s always better to procure designs with permits for an effecient build & also completely avoid any legal trouble down the road.

ADDITION PROJECT

Additional square footage always creates and adds best value to homes, which might be the only real estate investment for many. It also improves the lifestyle and functional spaces in most residences, even adding additional dwelling units.

Any addition project like a deck needs to be checked against all applicable laws including building codes and zoning bylaws being enforced by the local authorities.

SECOND SUITES / LANEWAY PROJECT

Second Suites are self-contained residential units which are generally allowed in single detached, semi-detached and townhouses. They are also allowed in ancillary structures (i.e. Garage, laneway house or garden suite).  Many clients add a secondary suite to their basement or above a detached garage (laneway project) to create additional revenue. However, most existing properties will require modifications to incorporate the requirements of a secondary suite. We are here for you in developing a new or legalizing an existing secondary suite, including a laneway project.

STOP WORK ORDER / REMEDIATION

Construction work that was not applied for or not part of the building permit can receive a Stop Work Order from the city. Besides this, a Stop Work Order always involves non-compliance with city’s regulation and by-laws. Residential Permit plans can help with compliance to lift this Order and remediate on our clients behalf.

DECK PROJECT

Many mistakenly treat deck projects to be simple but they are not. Zoning bylaws and building code regulations dictate the allowable deck construction in most homes. We can help determine if your deck project is feasible, prepare the design and acquire the needed approvals from the local authorities.

Committee of Adjustment / Minor Variances

A minor variance is a minor change to a performance standard under the Zoning By-law, granted by the Committee of Adjustment. The Committee of Adjustment is the body authorized to hold public hearings and makes decisions on applications for minor variances to City zoning bylaws and land severances. A minor variance can allow bylaw change in height, setbacks, coverage, parking requirements, etc.
