Toronto Permit Drawings. Drawn. Submitted. Approved.

A BCIN designer (Building Code Identification Number) is a licensed designer registered with Ontario's Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. For most residential projects in Toronto and the GTA — additions, secondary suites, garden suites, laneway suites, legal basements, and underpinning — permit drawings must be prepared and stamped by a BCIN-certified designer. PermitsHub's team is fully BCIN-certified.

Our permit drawing service covers the complete package: architectural drawings, site plan, zoning compliance review, schedule of information, and City submission. For structural projects — second storey additions, underpinning, load bearing wall removal — structural engineering is coordinated as part of the service. Revision management through plan review is included; we handle every comment round until your permit is approved.

Most structural, addition, basement, and exterior projects in Toronto and the GTA require a permit. This includes second storey additions, underpinning, garden suites, laneway suites, legal basement apartments, secondary suites, home extensions, garage conversions, and load bearing wall removals. We confirm your exact requirement in a free consultation — no commitment needed.

Timelines vary by project type and City review queues. Eligible small residential projects may qualify for the Express stream, which can significantly shorten the wait. For larger projects — additions, garden suites, secondary suites — standard City review applies. We provide an honest timeline estimate upfront and pursue every available fast-track option.
