Basement Renovations
Finished basements, bathrooms, bedrooms, structural alterations and related interior permit work.
Basement Renovation Permits →Clear, coordinated residential drawings for renovations, additions, basements, garages, decks, secondary suites and structural alterations. Building Permit Group helps homeowners prepare the plans, supporting information and municipal application package required for their specific project.
Building permit drawings are the technical documents used by the municipality to understand what exists, what is changing and how the proposed construction is intended to comply with the applicable requirements.
The required package depends on the project. A small interior alteration may need floor plans and construction details, while an addition can require a site plan, all-level floor plans, roof plans, elevations, sections, structural information and energy-efficiency documentation.
Building Permit Group helps organize the drawing package around the actual property, the proposed work and the municipality reviewing the application.
We prepare project-specific residential permit drawings for a broad range of proposed construction and alterations.

We review the property, proposed work and available plans, surveys or supporting documents.
Relevant dimensions, construction and site information are documented when required.
The proposed layout and required specialist information are coordinated for the agreed scope.
We prepare the plans, sections, elevations, details and forms included in our services.
Where included in the agreed scope, we assist with submission and address municipal comments that relate to the drawings we prepared.
A complete application can require information from more than one discipline. The need depends on the project and applicable requirements.
Beams, foundations, retaining walls, underpinning and other structural work may require professional engineering.
Additions, garages and other exterior work may require a current survey or information based on a legal survey.
Mechanical changes, new houses and some additions may require heating, ventilation or energy-efficiency documentation.
Trees, conservation areas, grading, utilities or other applicable laws may require separate reports or approvals.
The municipality issues the building permit after reviewing the complete application for compliance with the Building Code, zoning and other applicable laws. Approval timing depends on the project, application completeness, outside approvals and municipal review.
We help homeowners move from a project idea to a clearly documented municipal permit application.
Drawings are developed around the actual house, property and proposed construction—not a generic template.
We explain the expected drawing package and identify additional information that may be required.
Architectural and specialist information is coordinated within the services included in the project scope.
Plans are organized so the proposed work, dimensions and relevant construction information can be followed consistently across the set.
Forms, fees, zoning rules, submission systems and supporting-document requirements vary by municipality and project.
