Permits
If you are not sure what kind of permits are needed for your project or what are the requirements to apply for a permit, we can help you research and guide you through the permit application process.
Permit approval delays or permit rejection are usually caused by not submitting the proper documentation. Not applying for a permit when required can lead to hefty fines and stop work orders.
Take advantage of our knowledge of construction codes and city bylaws so that your project can have a good start and run smoothly.
Quotes Request and Review
Finding the right general contractor or specialized trade for your project can be an overwhelming and time-consuming task. Let us take the burden off your shoulders while you take advantage of our professional network to find the best in the industry so that they can submit accurate and competitive quotes for your project.
We will then help you review the quotes and provide technical advice on which provider offers more value and better warranty so that you can make an educated decision and obtain more for your investment.
Remember that the lowest bidder isn’t always the best since all too often they are only low because a key technical aspect of the project was overlooked, contractors will then attempt to cut corners to not lose profit or will ask you for more money.
Building Envelope
Engineers and envelope consultants are experts in their field and can provide excellent advice, but not all building envelope projects require an engineer. Small projects can be performed by a highly qualified trade under the right supervision.
We can help you find the right contractors for your project, request them competitive quotes and then help you review their proposals to find the one that offers more for your investment.
