Commercial Construction

Outdoor Patios
- PermitPro Consultant
The seasonal use of an outdoor space is an opportunity to maximize the revenue of a restaurant, coffee shop, or drinking establishment. The additional space and use of the premise will require the approval from the local municipality. The process will ensure that the site can accommodate the additional parking and patronage of the establishment. The approval may require support from the local community and the planning department. PermitPro Consultant can assist you in evaluating the potential and process a permit application.
Re-zoning Applications
- PermitPro Consultant
Modifying the zoning of a property allows you to change the use of a site and increase the real estate value. The process is complex, lengthy, and represents high risk. Permit Masters can guide you through the steps and improve your chance of success.
Change Of Use
- PermitPro Consultant
Every new business in a commercial building requires a development permit for a change of use. The application process reviews the parking and all regulations applicable to the new user. When the permits are conditions for a lease agreement or a sale, it is important to treat these permit applications seriously to improve the chance of success and to expedite the approval time.
Turned down by your local municipality?
At PermitPro Consultant, we can represent your best interests and defend your project.
Decisions made by the local municipality can often be appealed through a Subdivision and Development Appeal Board. This process is designed to reduce the complexity of a court of law and is usually worth the investment, even for small projects.
Why Might I Be Turned Down For a Permit?
When an application is made for a building or development permit, there will always be a pre-screening process to ensure all the necessary information is included. A building permit review will then be conducted by a number of safety codes officers (this usually includes officers with some expertise in the type of work being proposed).
Plans are rigorously reviewed for compliance with the relevant codes. If any deficiencies are discovered, the examiners will try to work with you to get revisions on the plans and reach a process that can be approved.
Sometimes, permits are issued with specific conditions; however, there are also cases where a plan is turned down after a building permit general review because no agreement can be reached about how to proceed. When this happens, the applicant has the right to submit an appeal, but if this appeal is to be successful they will need to present a strong case. This is where consulting experts in the building permit review process is the next best step.
Do I Need a Permit Appeals Permit?
The process of appealing against the rejection of your building or development permit application after a building permit general review is complex. If the reason for rejection is related to technical requirements set out in the Building Code, the appeal can be made to the Building Code Commission. This is an independent tribunal with a mandate to hear disputes relating to compliance with Building Code technical requirements. However, if the problem is in relation to any other applicable laws (such as an interpretation of the zoning bylaw), the appeal must be made to the Superior Court of Justice. This will require some legal assistance and may be challenging to succeed.
When appealing against a decision to reject your application for a permit, leave it to the experts! You will have invested time and money into the process of getting a permit to undertake your proposed project, which means that the last thing you want is for your process to be unsuccessful. Launching a successful appeal is complex and may even require obtaining a permit to appeal before you can even begin.
With our experience and expertise with these types of appeals, our expert team at PermitPro Consultant will undergo all of the necessary steps to help you make a successful appeal.
