Renovation drawings play a pivotal role in securing a renovation permit, serving as comprehensive blueprints outlining proposed changes to a property's structure. These detailed plans, typically crafted by architects or designers, include specifications for alterations like room dimensions, material choices, and structural modifications. They provide a clear roadmap for contractors and ensure renovations adhere to building codes and client preferences.
A renovation permit is an official authorization granted by local authorities to initiate renovation work. It signifies compliance with regulations and safety standards, confirming that proposed changes meet legal requirements. Obtaining a permit often necessitates submitting renovation drawings for thorough review and approval.
The decision to embark on a home addition project represents a significant investment and requires careful consideration of various factors, including budget, design preferences, local building codes, and practicality.

PDSI designed this beautiful bungalow in consultation with the client. The client desires to update the 3 bedroom home to a 4 bedroom house. Since the house doesn't have previous floor plans available, PDSI measured the existing property to create its complete structure drawings from start. PDSI provided the 3D model walk-throughs for the outer and inner structures for client review and approval.
PDSI provided both the inner and outer 3D walk-throughs for the renovation permit. Scope of work involved updates on Roof, Inner layout, moving of windows and additions of new doors. All the bedroom and spaces are designed per OBC. The 3D views and videos provided clarity to the client and his family and were happy to see the videos.

Usually 10 business days are for our initial design review from the day we aim for site measurement. This also depends on the project scope of work.
The turnaround time varies depending on the scope and complexity of the project, but we work efficiently to meet our clients' deadlines. Our Professional Engineers and Arhitects will take between 5 to 10 extra business days to finalize the drawings for permit submission. This timeline is dependent on the project scope of work and for reference only.
The timeline for the design review process depends on how busy the city/ municipality is. As per law, the city has to respond in 10 business days to approve and accept the permit. In case if the city has further queries, they will approach PDSI in 10 business days. We tend to sort the issues on priority.
Usually, it will take 2 to 6 weeks. The timeline mentioned is for reference only. This depends on the city schedule and workload. However, our team will follow up with the city consistently and ensure the project is on track.
