Permitting + Engineering Services

For structural changes or complex upgrades. When your renovation involves removing walls, modifying framing, or making major upgrades, you’ll need more than just a standard permit — you’ll need a structural engineering package.

About the Product

This package is ideal for renovations that impact the structure of your home — such as removing load-bearing walls, adjusting beams or joists, adding a new floor or suite, or altering your foundation. These changes require sign-off from a registered professional engineer and submission of precise drawings for city approval.

We manage the entire process on your behalf: coordinating with engineers, producing detailed permit-ready drawings, and submitting all required documents to your municipality. This ensures your project meets BC Building Code standards and local bylaws — while reducing delays, resubmissions, or compliance risks.

Whether you're opening up your kitchen, adding a second-storey, or converting a basement, our team will help you navigate the structural and permitting process with clarity and confidence.

What’s Included?

• Site evaluation for structural scope
• Coordination with certified structural engineer (letters, stamp, or full review)
• Full permit drawing set with structural details and code compliance
• Zoning and bylaw checks for your municipality
• Submission to city or local permitting authority (e.g., Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby)
• Revisions and minor follow-ups during permit review
• Optional inclusion of truss, shear wall, foundation, or lateral bracing details

Optional Add-On Packages (Contact us for details and bundled pricing)

• Energy Step Code Consultant – For new builds, major additions, or code-triggering renovations
