FAQs

Quick Answers.

Is Permit.ca an electrical engineer job board?

No. Permit.ca is a project-based network where independent electrical engineers review building projects, submit quotes and manage accepted work.

What types of electrical engineering projects can I find?

Examples include home additions, multi-unit residential buildings, restaurant fit-outs, office renovations, commercial electrical upgrades and related building projects.

What can the electrical engineering scope include?

Depending on the project: load calculations, power distribution, electrical drawings, lighting plans, single-line diagrams, panel schedules, emergency lighting, fire alarm coordination and revisions.

Do I need a professional engineering licence?

Services requiring professional engineering must be performed by appropriately licensed professionals in the relevant province or territory. Review each project’s scope and applicable requirements.

Do I need to quote every project?

No. Review the project scope, jurisdiction and required deliverables, then quote only the work that fits your qualifications and capacity.

Is there a signup fee?

No. Permit.ca does not charge professionals a signup fee or monthly subscription. A project-based professional fee applies to paid work.

How do funded milestones and payouts work?

The client funds an agreed milestone before that stage starts. After you submit the deliverables and the client approves, payout is initiated and normally clears in seven days before bank transfer. Either party may dispute.

What if the project scope changes?

Document revised deliverables, milestones or pricing and obtain client approval before performing the additional work.

Does Permit.ca review or seal electrical designs?

No. Permit.ca is a network; it does not review designs for compliance or issue professional seals. The responsible professional remains accountable for their deliverables.

Will I be charged a platform fee on city or municipal fees?

No. City and municipal fees are handled separately from your professional fees. If the municipality requires you to pay a filing, review, application or similar project fee on the client’s behalf, you can list that amount separately in the project instead of including it in your professional price. If the final amount is not known yet, it can be added as an estimate or marked TBD until the city confirms the exact amount. Permit.ca charges a 0% platform fee on these pass-through fees.

Does Permit.ca provide engineering or architectural services?

No. Permit.ca does not provide engineering, architectural, design or other regulated professional services. Permit.ca is a network that connects clients with independent professionals who provide those services under their own agreements, qualifications and professional responsibilities.
