Commercial Compliance1. Unpermitted Tenant Improvements
Interior framing, plumbing alterations, or ceiling grid modifications executed without permits. We draft the retroactive building permit package to legalize the construction.

3. Egress & Accessibility Citations
Correcting exit corridor widths, maximum travel distances to exits, illuminated EXIT signage, and universal barrier-free washroom clearances.
4. Letters of Assurance (Schedules)
We coordinate all required registered professional engineers (Structural, Mechanical, Electrical) to deliver a unified, stamped Schedule B and C-B submission set.
Step 1: Enforcement Audit & Risk Assessment
Phase 01We review the municipal stop work order, inspect citation clauses, and define the fastest path to legal compliance and order rescission.
Step 2: Forensic As-Built 3D LiDAR
Phase 02We map the physical space down to the millimeter to verify exact square footages, corridor widths, barrier-free turning radii, and mechanical routing.
Step 3: BCBC Part 3 & Engineering Sets
Phase 03We draft complete building permit plans, specify life-safety details, and integrate stamped engineering drawings from all required consultant disciplines.
Step 4: City Submission & Re-inspection
