Most structural renovations, additions, basement apartments, decks, separate entrances, and commercial renovation projects require a building permit. We review your project scope, property information, zoning, and applicable building code requirements to confirm what is needed before preparing the permit drawings.
We help with a wide range of residential and small-scale permit projects, including basement apartments, home additions, load-bearing wall removal, basement separate entrances, decks, garages, interior renovations, custom homes, and other residential permit applications. We also assist with selected commercial renovation, and change of use permit projects.
Yes. We prepare permit-ready architectural drawings, including site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, construction details, and other required drawings based on your project type. When needed, we also coordinate with engineers and other consultants.
Yes. Building permit submission support is included as a complimentary service with our permit drawing service. We help prepare the required documents, submit the application, and assist with responding to city comments during the permit review process.
The timeline depends on the project type, city review time, zoning issues, consultant coordination, and whether the city requests revisions. After the permit submission is accepted by the city, the review process typically takes about 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the municipality and project complexity.
To begin, we usually need the property address, a short description of the project, existing drawings if available, photos of the space, and any survey or site plan you may have. Once our fee and service agreement is signed, we schedule a site visit to review the existing condition and take the necessary measurements.
Yes, but we cannot simply revise or stamp drawings prepared by another professional. If you want us to take over an existing permit application, we will need to review the project as a new file and prepare our own drawings where required. Not all drawings are prepared to the same standard, and we only stamp drawings that are created and reviewed by our team.
Permit Works provides practical permit drawing and building permit support for homeowners, contractors, and business owners. We offer a transparent fee structure, fast response times, design revisions during the design phase within the agreed project scope, and permit drawings reviewed and stamped by a licensed architect. Our goal is to make the permit process clear, organized, and easier to manage from start to approval support.
