TORONTO BASEMENT APARTMENT DESIGN AND PERMIT SERVICES

Add much needed square footage to your home by finishing your basement. We offer start-to-finish basement renovation services from permitting to the final finishing.

When planning a basement finishing project, you will need to obtain a municipal building permit to ensure your basement is legally finished. This requires submitting project construction drawings to your local permitting agency. We are able to provide everything that is needed for your construction drawings from the onsite measuring and inspection to coordinating a structural engineering review.

If you are considering turning your finished basement into a secondary living unit, we can help you apply for a building occupancy permit. This permit is required to ensure your finished space complies with building codes, residential zoning requirements, and other standards. Using your basement as a secondary unit will require a means of egress out of your basement through a walkout door or an egress window.

If your basement is in need of a separate, dedicated entrance, we can assist you with designing and installing a means of egress. Whether that is a walkout entrance or a set of steel storm doors, this new entrance to your basement will provide you better access to enjoy the space and may be a necessary addition if you plan to use your finished basement as a secondary unit.
