The SSMUH Multiplex Approval Path

Four clear steps from density analysis to building permit in hand for your multiplex.

1

Free SSMUH Density Assessment

Share your civic address. We audit Provincial Bill 44 regulations, Transit-Oriented Area (TOA) proximity, and municipal bylaws to establish your legal unit count.

2

Topographic Survey & Site Analysis

We review BCLS property boundary surveys, grade elevations, utilities, and covenants to establish your maximum buildable footprint and lane access requirements.

3

Floor Plan & Life Safety Design

We optimize unit floor plans to eliminate dead space, map 1-hour/1.5-hour fire separations, design independent exit paths, and model BC Energy Step Code targets.

4

Permit Submission & City Intake

We compile the full architectural drawing set, coordinate Schedule B engineering stamps, and manage all city review feedback until permit issuance.

Proven Multi-Unit Track Record Across BC

We have helped property owners and developers across BC convert single-family lots into high-yield, code-compliant multi-unit developments.

Maximize Legal Unit Yield Under BC Bill 44

Under Provincial Bill 44 SSMUH mandates, single-family lots across Metro Vancouver and BC can now support 3, 4, or 6 units as-of-right depending on lot size and proximity to transit.

We perform comprehensive Density & Feasibility Assessments to establish buildable FSR limits, engineer complex fire separation barriers and acoustic assemblies, and optimize floor plans for maximum rentable square footage.

From Schedule B engineering coordination to complete municipal intake management, we drive your multi-unit development forward efficiently.
