Navigate Permits and Building Codes With Confidence
Municipal permit requirements stop more barndominium projects than any other obstacle. Every town has different submission processes, code interpretations, and documentation standards, and one missing detail can delay your project by months. Our engineering support services handle the entire permit process so your barndominium project moves forward without bureaucratic roadblocks.
Everything Your Building Department Needs to Say Yes
Building departments reject incomplete applications. They send you back for missing site plans, incorrect structural calculations, or energy evaluations that don’t meet current codes. We’ve submitted hundreds of successful barndominium permit applications across Canada, so we know what your municipality requires before you submit, including:
- Stamped structural drawings engineered for your soil and snow loads
- Site plans showing proper setbacks and drainage
- Foundation designs that match your building specifications
- Mechanical and electrical plans for HVAC systems
- Septic designs, geotechnical reports, and energy evaluations
For projects in Quebec, our engineers translate permit drawings and conduct required site inspections, ensuring your application meets provincial requirements without delays.
Your Engineering Team Represents You
Trying to navigate municipal approvals on your own means fielding questions about load calculations, setback variances, and energy code compliance — technical details you shouldn’t need to master just to build your home. Our engineers communicate directly with municipal officials, providing requested clarifications and managing any revisions needed for approval.
When the building inspector needs additional documentation or the planning department requests site plan changes, we handle it. You receive updates on progress without spending hours on phone calls or worrying about code compliance.
