Professional Permit & Approval Management in Ontario

Queens Home provides complete permit and city approval services across Ontario for residential, commercial, and construction projects. We help homeowners, business owners, and property investors navigate the permit process efficiently while ensuring projects comply with the Ontario Building Code, municipal zoning bylaws, and applicable local regulations.

Whether you’re planning a custom home, renovation, home addition, basement apartment, commercial renovation, garage build, or structural modification, our team manages the entire approval process from drawings and submissions to inspections and final approvals.

We work directly with municipalities, engineers, architects, and inspectors to help reduce delays, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure your project is properly approved before construction begins.

What We Handle

We prepare and submit building permit applications for residential and commercial construction projects, ensuring all required documentation and drawings are included.

We provide permit-ready architectural drawings, floor plans, elevations, site plans, and construction documents required for municipal approval.

We review zoning bylaws, setbacks, lot coverage, building height restrictions, parking requirements, and land use regulations before construction begins.

We manage permits for home renovations, structural modifications, basement finishing, additions, underpinning, garages, decks, and secondary suites.

We handle commercial permit applications for offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, clinics, salons, fitness studios, and tenant improvements.

We assist with legal basement apartment permits and secondary dwelling unit approvals, including fire separation, egress, ceiling height, and safety compliance requirements.

We coordinate structural engineering drawings, load calculations, beam designs, and engineering reports required for structural work and permit submissions.

We assist with permits related to occupancy changes and change-of-use applications required for certain residential and commercial projects.

If revisions are requested by the municipality, we coordinate updated drawings, documentation, and resubmissions to keep the approval process moving forward.

We schedule required municipal inspections throughout construction and assist with final approvals and occupancy requirements.
