Design-Build Support
For BC Contractors

We act as your back-office design, drafting, and permit coordination team. We handle the zoning analysis, code compliance, and municipal friction so your crew can focus on building.

Design-Build Support Summary

We function as an extension of your team, providing the exact technical documentation you need to move from preliminary estimates to final municipal inspections.

Project Roadmap & Scope of Work

Executing high-density residential and commercial projects across BC requires significant back-office overhead in drafting, code compliance, and consultant coordination.

We provide general contractors, owner-builders, and developers with dedicated permit documentation, multi-discipline engineering integration, and rapid municipal permit processing.

Step 1: Multi-Discipline Engineering Coordination

Phase 01

A major bottleneck in multi-unit construction is consultant misalignment. When structural steel fights mechanical ducting, your field crew loses time. We ingest structural engineering marks, Schedule B documents, civil site grading, and mechanical paths, consolidating them directly into a single coordinated permit set. We work directly with your Energy Advisor to embed high-performance assembly configurations into the working drawings without compromising framing efficiency.

Step 2: Construction Documentation & Assembly Detailing

Phase 02

A basic permit set is rarely sufficient for rapid field execution. We elevate your drawing sets to comprehensive construction documentation designed to eliminate site guesswork. We detail exact drywall layering, staggered stud offsets, and acoustic insulation parameters to hit mandatory Sound Transmission Class (STC 50+) and fire ratings for multi-unit multiplexes (SSMUH).

Step 3: Quantity Take-Offs & Material Estimating

Phase 03

Vague bidding leads to tight margins and surprise expenses. To support your estimating and procurement workflows, we deliver highly accurate Quantity Take-Offs directly from our digital documentation models. Before you purchase materials or issue final subcontractor agreements, we provide itemized counts for lumber structural packs, sheet-good volumes, drywall totals, and specialized insulation layers.

Step 4: Stop Work Order Remediation & Field Support

Remediation & Support

Whether you hit an unexpected structural hurdle on-site or inherited a project halted by a municipal Stop Work Order, we provide fast-response remediation support. We conduct urgent code compliance audits on active violations, interface directly with city inspectors, and generate the necessary engineering-stamped corrective drawings required to lift the order.
