Permit Drawings Explained

What Are Permit Drawings and Why Do You Need Them in Ontario?

Permit drawings are a set of technical drawings submitted to your local municipality as part of a building permit application. They show the scope of your proposed project in enough detail for the building department to verify that the work complies with the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and applicable zoning bylaws.

Without proper permit drawings, your application will be rejected or significantly delayed — costing you time and money. Whether you are in Toronto, Mississauga, Ottawa, Hamilton, or anywhere else in Ontario, our permit drawing packages are prepared by experienced drafters and reviewed by engineers to meet your municipality's specific requirements.
