FAQ
Answers to what most clients ask before they call us.
Do I need a permit for a basement apartment or renovation?
Yes — in most cases. Any new basement apartment, addition, structural modification, or change of use requires a building permit in Toronto and across the GTA. We'll tell you exactly what's required in your free consultation.
How long does a Toronto building permit take to approve?
Typical residential permits take 4–10 weeks depending on project complexity and current City backlog. Our permit packages are prepared to minimize revision requests, which is the most common cause of delays.
Can you handle both the design and the construction?
Yes — that's our core strength. We are one of the few firms in Toronto that provides architectural design, structural engineering, permit management, and construction under the same team. This eliminates gaps and keeps your project moving.
What areas of Toronto and the GTA do you serve?
We serve Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, East York, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, and surrounding GTA municipalities.
How much does a building permit drawing package cost?
Pricing varies by project scope. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote within 24 hours of your consultation — so you'll know exactly what to expect before we start.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Triangle DDL is a BCIN-registered firm with full Errors and Omissions (E&O) liability insurance. Our drawings are prepared by qualified professionals and comply with the Ontario Building Code.
