Permit-Ready Drawings
Most structural projects require professionally prepared drawings before building permits can be issued.
We provide clear, detailed structural drawings that are ready for submission to your local municipality for permit approval. Our drawings include all the structural detailsand framing information required for construction. All out permit-ready packages meet Ontario Building Code requirements to ensure smooth approval process.
Our Process
We begin by reviewing the details of your project to understand the scope of the proposed structural modifications. This may include reviewing architectural plans, contractor sketches, site photos, or conducting a site visit if necessary to assess the existing structural conditions.
During this stage, we identify the structural elements involved in the project and determine the information required to prepare accurate permit drawings.
Project Review & Information Gathering
Once the project requirements are established, we perform the structural calculations needed to design the required structural components. This may include beams, posts, lintels, headers, or other supporting members depending on the nature of the project.
All structural members are analyzed and designed in accordance with the Ontario Building Code and applicable design standards such as CSA O86 – Engineering Design in Wood. Our engineering analysis ensures the proposed structural modifications safely transfer loads through the structure and meet all required strength and serviceability criteria.
Structural Analysis & Code Compliance
After completing the structural design, we prepare clear and detailed engineering drawings for submission to your local municipality as part of the building permit application.
These drawings include beam specifications, post locations, connection details, load paths, and any other structural requirements necessary for construction. All drawings are reviewed and stamped by a licensed professional engineer, confirming compliance with the Ontario Building Code.
