The Problem Every Builder Knows

You have been there: a client wants a quote, you drive to the site, spend hours on the phone with the building department, and then discover the project is not feasible as described.

Endless Phone Calls

Hours on hold with building departments just to get basic zoning info.

Wasted Site Visits

Driving to properties only to find out the project scope is not feasible.

Surprise Costs

Conservation authority permits, development charges, and fees you did not budget for.

Margin Erosion

Quoting too low because you missed setback requirements or lot coverage limits.

When to Run a Snapshot

Before Quoting a New Build

Before a Site Visit

Prep for your site visit with a preliminary compliance picture. Know what questions to ask and what to look for on the ground.

Garden Suite / ADU Projects

Ontario's new garden suite rules vary by municipality. Get a snapshot to check lot coverage, setback, and servicing requirements before committing.

Addition or Renovation Scope

Adding a second storey or extending the footprint? Check height restrictions, lot coverage limits, and whether you need a minor variance.
