Restoration & Insurance Rebuild
Drafting & Permits BC

From insurance replacement costing packages to full municipal permit drawings for post-fire reconstruction. We produce precision building permit plans that satisfy adjusters, engineers, and building officials.

Restoration & Rebuild Deliverables Summary

Whether you need costing drawings to resolve an insurance settlement or a full permit package to rebuild, we provide exact technical documentation.

Project Scope	What We Produce	The Deliverable
Insurance Costing Sets	Reconstruction drawings with finish schedules, assembly details, and spatial dimensions to establish accurate replacement cost benchmarks.	Insurance Valuation Drawing Package
Post-Disaster LiDAR Survey	360° virtual tours and 3D point cloud scans documenting surviving structural elements and baseline site geometry.	Forensic As-Built CAD & Virtual Tour
Permit Rebuild Plans	Complete building permit sets meeting current BC Building Code, Energy Step Code, and regional district zoning bylaws.	Permit-Ready Construction Drawings
Specialized Detailing	Timber frame joinery, wood stove and chimney clearances, suspended concrete patios, and cantilevered beam engineering coordination.	Technical Detail Sheets & Schedules

Project Roadmap & Scope of Work

When a residential property suffers severe damage from fire, flooding, or structural failure, property owners and restoration contractors face two major hurdles: satisfying insurance adjusters with detailed replacement valuation sets, and obtaining municipal rebuild permits under current BC Building Code standards.

Canadian Blueprint bridges this gap with forensic 3D modeling, precision building permit drawings, and full engineering coordination.

Two Core Restoration Workflows

Core Workflows

1. Insurance Replacement Costing Sets

When a structure is destroyed, adjusters require detailed drawings to calculate replacement payouts based on replicating the original structure's value, finishes, and complexity.

Volumetric floor heights, roof slopes & foundation profiles
Itemized schedules of high-end finishes & custom millwork
Timber frame joinery, suspended patios & specialty specs

2. Post-Disaster Rebuild Permitting

When moving into reconstruction, you must obtain a new Building Permit compliant with modern code triggers, BC Energy Step Code, and seismic/snow load standards.

LiDAR 3D scanning of surviving structural elements
Regional District GIS mapping (CSRD, RDCO, SLRD, etc.)
Full permit working sets & Schedule B engineering

Step 1: Site Survey & Regional Mapping

Phase 01

We pull property titles, land survey plans, and regional district GIS data (such as CSRD, RDCO, or municipal mapping). If the structure is partially standing, our team conducts on-site 3D LiDAR scanning to document surviving foundations and baseline grades.

Step 2: Costing & Assembly Detailing

Phase 02

We compile photographic evidence, contractor notes, and structural sketches to build a complete 3D digital model. We draft comprehensive building cross-sections, assembly layering, and finish schedules tailored for insurance costing review.

Step 3: BCBC & Engineering Coordination

Phase 03

We verify the proposed design against the current BC Building Code and local zoning bylaws. We coordinate directly with registered structural engineers (for timber sizing, foundation loads, and cantilever moments) and Energy Advisors to ensure complete compliance.

Step 4: Insurance & Permit Submissions

Phase 04

We deliver finalized drawing sets in AutoCAD (.DWG) and print-ready single-layer PDF formats. For permit applications, we package the complete municipal submission, coordinate plan reviews, and manage municipal comment cycles until your permit is stamped and issued.
