Permits & approvals

Getting your Vaughan project approved

Most structural changes need a building permit from the Vaughan building department, with drawings prepared to the Ontario Building Code. We prepare the drawings and documentation and follow up with the municipality.

Some properties also fall under the review of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Tell us your address and we will flag anything that applies.
