How Permit.ca Works for Clients

Permit.ca gives clients one place to start a permit project, provide the project details, connect with relevant professionals, review quotes, manage the work and track what happens next.

In short: start with the project. Complete the intake, post the job, review matched professionals and quotes, agree on the work, then manage the project through the same Permit.ca workflow.

1. Start Your Project

You begin by  telling Permit.ca what you are planning. The goal at this stage is to  describe the project clearly enough for Permit.ca to connect it with relevant  independent professionals. The professional you select confirms what your  specific project requires.

1

Open the project intake

Start a new project and choose the project type that best matches what you are planning.

2

Add the project details

Provide the location, scope, current stage and any files, photos or drawings you already have.

3

Submit the project

Once the required information is complete, submit the project so it can move into the matching workflow.

2. Complete the Project Intake

The intake helps Permit.ca collect the information needed to understand your project before it reaches professionals.

What are you planning?

For example: renovation, addition, basement suite, commercial fit-out, structural change or another permit-related project.

Wherein Ontario is the project?

Location matters because municipal permit requirements and professional service areasvary across Ontario.

What stage are you at?

Tell Permit.ca whether you are still planning, already have drawings, or need help with a specific part of the process.

What do you already have?

Add existing plans, photos, municipal comments or other useful project documents when available.

You do not need to know exactly which professional you need before starting. The intake begins with the project itself.

3. What Happens After You Post

After the project is submitted, the information is used to identify the services and professionals that may be relevant to the scope.
