New Home Construction Permit
PermitsHub manages your new home construction permit application, drawings, and approvals in Toronto and the GTA.
Scope of service.
Building a new home in Toronto or the GTA requires a building permit before any construction begins. This permit confirms your project meets the Ontario Building Code, zoning bylaws, site plan requirements, and municipal standards. The application process involves coordinating architectural drawings, structural engineering, energy compliance (SB-10), servicing plans, and often Committee of Adjustment approvals if variances are needed. New home construction permits are among the most complex residential applications. They require detailed submissions covering foundation design, framing, mechanical systems, plumbing, electrical, insulation, and fire safety. Municipal review times vary significantly depending on project scope and location. PermitsHub coordinates all technical consultants, prepares complete submission packages, and manages the review process so you can focus on your build timeline and budget.
