Permits

Obtaining the necessary permits is crucial to any commercial construction or renovation project. At Alpha Omega Design & Build, we understand how challenging navigating the permitting process can be. That’s why we offer a commercial permit service to guide our clients through obtaining all the required approvals for their projects.

Our team has years of experience working with the various permitting authorities in Mississauga, Brampton, and the surrounding regions. We are familiar with all the applicable building codes and regulations. We know what information and documents will be required and can help interpret any requirements that are unclear. Managing the permitting process internally allows us to proactively address any issues and ensure your project stays on track.

The Permitting Process

Most commercial construction projects will require permits from the municipal building department and the fire department. The specific permits required will depend on the scope and nature of your project. Common commercial permitting types include:

  • Building Permit
    Required for new buildings, additions, or renovations involving structural work or work that impacts Code compliance.
  • HVAC Permit
    Required for the installation or replacement of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
  • Electrical Permit
    Necessary for new wiring work or electrical system upgrades.
  • Sign Permit
    For installing or altering any permanent signage.
  • Conditional Permit
    Sometimes issued to allow early work while other approvals are still pending.
The application process typically involves submitting complete permit applications, construction drawings and specifications, site plans, energy forms and compliance reports, and permit fees. It can take 4-6 weeks to obtain all the required permits once complete applications are submitted. We will guide you through each step.
