The Commercial TI Approval Path
Four clear steps to get your commercial space approved, permitted, and open for business.
Free Commercial Feasibility Check
Share your business concept and site address. We audit zoning bylaws, verify allowable commercial uses, and check parking requirements before you sign a lease.
On-Site As-Built LiDAR Survey
We capture your commercial space with 360° LiDAR scanning to produce an accurate base building plan, ensuring zero guesswork for interior layouts.
Occupancy & Life Safety Code Review
We analyze major building classifications, calculate occupant load, map fire separations, verify travel distances to exits, and check barrier-free washroom compliance.
Permit Submission & City Intake
We assemble the complete TI drawing set, coordinate required AIBC architect or EGBC engineering stamps, and drive the permit file through municipal plan review.
Proven Commercial TI Track Record Across BC
We have helped retail stores, fitness studios, restaurants, and medical clinics clear municipal building reviews and open on schedule.
Code-Compliant Commercial TI Drawings
Whether you are opening a retail storefront in Vancouver, outfitting a medical clinic in Surrey, or transforming an office space in Burnaby, commercial permits demand strict adherence to BC Building Code (BCBC) Major Occupancies.
We perform As-Built LiDAR Surveys to capture precise base building dimensions, verify barrier-free washroom and egress requirements, and coordinate mechanical and electrical engineering requirements.
From Change of Use analysis to complete municipal intake management, we ensure your business opens legally and on time.
"Commercial permits hinge on life-safety and occupancy classifications. We verify Change of Use triggers early so your lease and buildout move smoothly."
