Notice on Construction Plan Submissions:
Effective immediately, our office will be strictly enforcing the requirement for scaled drawings for any additions and new builds. The drawings do not have to be professionally done, but must indicate with reasonable accuracy such things as joist spans, door widths, window openings, and the like. (Please note this is a requirement laid down by the Province in new regulations in any regard.)
Further, for any construction that is greater than 1,200 square feet in size, our office may require submission of truss plans, plans for engineered joists, as well as window quotes to verify compliance with the National Building Code.
Plans for any non-residential construction must be submitted in digital format as a .pdf file.
