How it works

A preliminary engineering review of your Ontario renovation against the Building Code — five steps from project description to a permit-ready pathway.

  1. 1

    Describe your project

    Tell us about the renovation, addition, basement apartment, ADU or structural change you're planning.

  2. 2

    Confirm property details

    Address, municipality, dwelling type and condition — used to apply Ontario Building Code and local zoning context.

  3. 3

    Upload photos or sketches

    Optional photos, floor plans or sketches to inform the preliminary engineering review.

  4. 4

    Review your permit pathway

    A clear summary of likely permit requirements, engineering reviews and expected timeline.

  5. 5

    Connect with a professional

    Optionally engage a licensed engineer for permit drawings and submission support.
