Power & Lighting Plans
Electrical floor plans showing lighting, receptacles, switches, equipment connections and other project-specific electrical points.
Post your building project once. Compare professionals for electrical layouts, lighting and power plans, panel schedules, single-line diagrams, load calculations and permit support all in one place.
A strong electrical submission starts with drawings that clearly show power, lighting, panels, distribution and the calculations the reviewing authority needs.

Electrical permit documentation can involve layouts, service and distribution information, panels, load calculations, single-line diagrams, emergency lighting or other life-safety details. The right scope depends on the project and approval path.
A small tenant electrical layout, a service upgrade and an engineered distribution system are not the same job. Compare drawings, calculations, qualifications, authority submissions and revision support before you hire.
Professional and permit requirements vary by province, municipality, electrical authority, service size, voltage and project complexity.
Power, lighting, panel and other electrical drawings within the designer’s authorized scope where applicable.

Electrical permit drawings show the proposed electrical design and can include power, lighting, emergency lighting, fire-alarm information, panels, distribution and other project-specific details. The exact drawing and approval path depends on the building, electrical scope and authority having jurisdiction.
Depending on the project, the set can include electrical floor plans, lighting and power layouts, receptacles and switches, panel schedules, load calculations, single-line diagrams, service and distribution information, and emergency or life-safety electrical details.
It depends on the jurisdiction and project. For example, Toronto requires electrical, emergency-lighting and fire-alarm drawings to be included in the Building Permit set, while electrical work can also have separate electrical permit, notification or plan-review requirements through the applicable electrical safety authority.
A single-line diagram is commonly used to show electrical distribution and service information. In Ontario, ESA requires a single-line diagram in every Electrical Plan Review submission. Other jurisdictions can have different thresholds and submission rules.
The required provider depends on the project, jurisdiction, building type and complexity. A qualified electrical designer, professional engineer or other authorized professional may be required. The professional preparing the documents is responsible for their own regulated scope.
Not necessarily. Electrical drawings can be one part of a larger permit package. Architectural, structural, mechanical, plumbing, fire-protection or other documents may also be required depending on the project.
No. Permit.ca is a network. Independent professionals provide the electrical design and drawing services. Permit.ca does not prepare or certify drawings, review technical compliance, issue electrical or building permits, or guarantee approval.
No. Clients can post a project and compare quotes without a client platform fee.
