The first step will be to assess the zoning requirements for the municipality. Additionally, we would contact the city to see if there are any additional restrictions for this lot such as a minor variance requirement to accommodate the walkout. We would discuss the findings with you and quote separately if required. From this, we would be able to determine what the options were for this site.
Our team will arrange a site visit to discuss project specifics and take the required measurements. The average project turnaround time, once the measurements have been completed, is approximately 8-14 business days.
Additional Fees (outside our purview):
- City building permit fees – typically $1.6/sqft
- Minor Variance city fee – (only if zoning variance is required)
- Site Grading Plan – (done by an Ontario land Surveyor, if required)
