Three things to have ready when you call
No drawings, no survey, no permit history required to start.
What you're hoping to add
A room, a floor, a garage, a secondary suite, or something else. Whatever words come naturally is fine.
A rough sense of the space
Roughly how many rooms or how much square footage. We measure the property properly when we visit.
Where the property is
Tells us immediately what the local setback situation is likely to look like before we even arrive.
Our Process
What happens after you get in touch
1
We reply within one business day
Usually with a couple of questions, because the answers often narrow the project before anyone drives out.
2
We book a time to see the property
We measure the lot, check setback and coverage against the Zoning By-law, and look at the structure you're adding to.
3
You get an itemised quote
Design, permit, foundation, framing and finishing on separate lines.
4
We handle the permit application
Submitted to the City of Ottawa with the fee and review timeline set out in writing.
Before you call
Do you charge for the site visit?
No. The visit and the written quote are free and carry no obligation.
Can I get a rough figure over the phone?
We can walk you through the price ranges on our cost page. We will not turn those into a firm price for your specific property without seeing the lot, because setback room and foundation conditions swing the number more than square footage alone.
How far ahead should I get in touch if a permit is involved?
Earlier than most people expect. A City of Ottawa building permit typically takes 4 to 12 weeks to issue depending on scope, and a full secondary-suite application can run 7 to 14 weeks once mechanical and fire-separation review is involved.
What if my project needs a variance from the setback rules?
We will tell you plainly if a project as described does not fit the Zoning By-law as-of-right, and what the options are, rather than designing around a rule we know will be rejected.
