What Are Building Permit Drawings?

Building permit drawings are technical construction documents required by municipalities to review safety, zoning, and code compliance before approving any structural project.

Unlike design or concept drawings, permit drawings focus on:

-Structural safety

-Code compliance

-Construction feasibility

-Zoning conformity

-Inspection clarity

Without accurate permit drawings, your permit application will be delayed or rejected.

When Do You Need Permit Drawings?

Permit drawings are required for most regulated construction projects, including:

-New home construction

-Home additions and expansions

-Second-floor additions

-Basement underpinning

-Basement renovations (structural changes)

-Load-bearing wall removal

-Structural modifications

-Enlarging windows or door openings

-Legal secondary suites

-Commercial interior renovations

If your project affects structure, safety, or building systems, permit drawings are mandatory.
