We're Ready to Work With You!
Our building permit administrators will provide general information or direct you to a building inspector for technical information. We will assign building inspectors to your file before you have to register your plan.
To allow this process to move as quickly as possible, please provide complete and accurate information, and carefully review all of the information we provide you.
Certified Model Program
The Certified Model Program is an application process prescribed by the Chief Building Official and must be completed for each model. BWG's Building By-law 2020-40 defines a certified model as a unique building design for a detached dwelling, semi-detached unit or townhouse unit that has been reviewed by the Chief Building Official for compliance with the Building Code and is intended for construction pursuant to a permit issued under the Act. A certified model is not itself a building permit.

For further information on the Certified Model Program, please contact the Building Division.
Site Servicing
The Fill and Site Alteration By-law requires that a permit be obtained for site servicing, as described therein.
