From site measure to issued permit.

Permit Mart prepares architectural drawings and manages the building permit application for commercial and residential projects across Ontario — including every round of city comments.

What we draw
and file for you

Every package is drawn to the Ontario Building Code and the requirements of your municipality, then submitted and followed through to issuance.

How a permit
gets done

One point of contact from the first site visit to the day your permit is issued.

  1. Site measure

    We visit, measure existing conditions and confirm what the city will require.

  2. Fixed quote

    You get one price and a timeline before any drawing starts.

  3. Drawings

    We prepare the permit set and review it with you before submission.

  4. Submission

    We file the application and act as your agent with the building department.

  5. Permit issued

    We answer examiner comments and revise drawings until the permit is issued.

Drafting and permits under one roof

When the people who draw your plans also handle the city, comments get answered faster and nothing falls between two offices.

  • Code-first drawings

    Sets are checked against the Ontario Building Code before submission, which means fewer rounds of revisions.

  • A price you know upfront

    Fixed quotes, no hourly billing, and revisions for city comments included.

  • We deal with the city

    Examiner comments, resubmissions and follow-up calls are handled by us, not you.

“They measured the unit, drew the fit-out and dealt with every comment from the city. We opened on schedule.”

Client name — Restaurant owner, Toronto
