You're not the problem. The permit process is. Most people get stuck here, not because their project is unreasonable, but because nobody explained what the City actually needs. We take the whole thing off your hands.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're exactly who this service was built for. Forms that don't make sense. An engineer who takes three weeks to reply. A rejection letter that says "incomplete" and nothing else.
The City doesn't review your idea — it reviews a package. Drawings, engineering, zoning, code compliance, all in the right format and submitted together. Most applications fail because one piece is missing, not because the project was wrong.
We investigate the existing building, handle the engineering, prepare the drawings, and submit the application ourselves. When the City comes back with questions, they come to us, not you. One team from the first site visit to the approved permit.
Your part is short. Send us the address and tell us what you want to build. We'll tell you what the City will require, what it will cost, and how long it will take — before you commit to anything.
Commercial: tenant improvements, change of use, restaurants, retail, offices. Your lease clock is running from day one, so the permit has to move fast and come back approved the first time.
Residential: basement suites, additions, laneway houses, structural changes. This suite started as a permit application — drawings, engineering, City approval — before a single wall was painted.
Stop fighting the City. Message us the address and we'll tell you exactly what it will take — before you spend a dollar. www.grandrenovations.ca
