Simple Process

How Drawings & Permits Works in Cambridge

  1. 1

    Site Survey

    Architect measures the home, documents existing conditions, and produces base drawings for the structural engineer to develop.

  2. 2

    Engineering

    Structural engineer designs footing depths, reinforcement, and pin sequencing, all stamped to satisfy Ontario Building Code Section 9.13.

  3. 3

    Submission

    Application package goes to the City of Toronto Building Department. Most underpinning permits clear plan review in 4-8 weeks.

  4. 4

    Inspections

    We schedule city inspections during construction, pre-pour, footing, framing, drainage. The homeowner doesn't chase inspectors.
