We Handle the Paperwork, You Get the Permit

Since 2015, we have managed permit submissions to municipalities across the Lower Mainland and beyond — Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Delta, the North Shore, the Tri-Cities, and the Fraser Valley. We know which city wants the energy model uploaded separately, which one requires a hard copy of the structural schedule, and which one will reject an application for a missing site plan dimension.

Over the past decade, we've successfully submitted and secured Building Permits for countless projects across British Columbia. The Permit Application Process can be complex and time-consuming, with strict requirements for documentation, Code Compliance, and technical specifications.

From pre-application document readiness checks to reviewer comment resolution and resubmission, we manage the entire permit cycle. You focus on your project — we focus on getting it approved.

The timeline varies depending on project complexity and municipality workload. Simple projects may be approved in 2-6 weeks, while complex projects like new homes can take 3-12 months. Our service streamlines the process by ensuring your application is complete and Code-Compliant from the start, which helps avoid delays caused by Revision Requests. We also coordinate directly with Municipal Reviewers to address any questions quickly.
