Plans in Ottawa

When embarking on the construction of a multifamily building, one of the crucial steps is the preparation and submission of permit plans.

These plans are detailed drawings and documents that illustrate the proposed building design and demonstrate compliance with local zoning, building codes, and other regulatory requirements.

Bill 23 in Ottawa

Bill 23, officially known as the More Homes Built Faster Act, is a piece of provincial legislation passed in Ontario, Canada, in 2022. The purpose of the bill is to accelerate the construction of new homes in the province, with the goal of addressing Ontario's housing affordability crisis.

Before Bill 23, property owners were only able to build two (2) units on their property.

After Bill 23, property owners are now able to build three (3) units on their property.

Permit Plans Process

Site Analysis and Preliminary Design

Conduct an analysis of the site to understand its topography, zoning requirements, and local infrastructure. Develop initial design concepts that meet these parameters.

Create Detailed Drawings

Develop the full set of drawings including site plans, floor plans, elevations, structural designs, and MEP layouts

Submit to Authorities

Submit the plans to local government or permitting agencies for review. This will likely involve public hearings or consultation periods where neighbors or community members may voice concerns.

Revise and Address Feedback

The permitting authority may request revisions to the plans based on safety, environmental, or zoning concerns. We will adjust the plans as needed to address these feedbacks.
