Building Permit Drawings in Vancouver BC

Professional Compliance

We prepare building permit drawings for residential and commercial projects throughout the City of Vancouver and surrounding municipalities. Our drawings are structured to meet Vancouver Building By law requirements, including Part 9 residential renovations and applicable Part 3 commercial alterations.

​

Permit submissions often require coordination with structural engineers, mechanical designers, and energy consultants. We assemble complete drawing packages, respond to plan review comments, and revise documents until the permit is issued.
