Home Additions — Expand Your Living Space the Right Way

Thinking about adding more room for your family to live, work, or relax? A home addition can create the perfect new space — whether it’s a larger kitchen, an extra bedroom, or a spacious family room. But before any construction begins, the first step is obtaining a building permit. Our team specializes in handling the permit process so you can focus on your dream space.

Why You Need a Permit for Home Additions

A building permit ensures your home addition meets the Ontario Building Code and local regulations. For living space expansions, permits are usually required when you:

• Add a new room or extend an existing one (e.g., kitchen, bedroom, living room)
• Make structural changes like moving or adding walls
• Install or modify plumbing, HVAC, or electrical systems

Why it matters:

• Guarantees your addition is safe and code-compliant
• Protects your investment and future resale value
• Avoids fines, stop-work orders, or costly corrections

Our Home Addition Permit Service

We make obtaining a permit simple and stress-free:

✔ Review your proposed living space addition and confirm what the city requires
✔ Prepare professional, permit-ready architectural drawings
✔ Submit the application and liaise with municipal reviewers
✔ Address any comments or requested revisions
✔ Deliver your approved permit so construction can start legally

Note: Our service focuses on permits only. Homeowners or their contractors are responsible for the actual construction and inspections.

What You’ll Need to Provide

• Municipalities typically require:
• Site plans showing your existing home and proposed addition
• Floor plans for the new living space
• Structural details if walls or floors are being modified
• Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC layouts if systems are added or relocated
• Compliance with zoning rules, such as setbacks, height, and lot coverage

Providing this information upfront ensures a smooth permit approval process.

Why Use a Permit Specialist

Even straightforward living space additions can get delayed if applications are incomplete or don’t meet code. Working with a specialist ensures:

✔ Accurate and complete permit applications
✔ Clear communication with municipal reviewers
✔ Faster approvals and fewer revisions
✔ Legal compliance and peace of mind
