Permits
When renovating or building a home, obtaining the proper permits is an important part of the process to ensure your project complies with building codes and zoning regulations. At Alpha Omega Design & Build, we handle all aspects of applying for and securing your residential permits so you don’t have to stress over the paperwork and regulations. Our Residential Permits service guides you through the permit process from start to finish.
Why Do You Need Permits?
Building permits are required by law for most construction projects, large and small. They serve several key purposes:
- Ensure Safety
Permits allow inspectors to review your plans and inspect construction to verify it meet building codes. Codes establish minimum safety standards for electrical work, plumbing, structural integrity and more. - Comply with Zoning
Permits confirm your project adheres to zoning laws regarding setbacks, square footage limitations, allowed uses and other local land use rules. - Protect Property Values
Following codes and regulations helps maintain consistent construction quality and prevents projects that could reduce neighbouring property values. - Confirm Permission
Permits provide official approval that you are legally allowed to do the planned work. This protects you if a neighbour questions or complains about your project. - Allow Utilities
Utility providers usually will not connect services like power, gas or water without signed-off permits. Permits signal to them that your structure is approved for occupancy. - Legal Approval
Failure to obtain required permits can result in fines, denial or revocation of occupancy permitting, and even required demolition of unauthorized work. Our team ensures you obtain all legal approvals for your project.


Our Permit Process
Our Residential Permits service makes obtaining permits stress-free with our straightforward five-step process:
- Plan Review
We will review your project plans and specifications to determine which permits, such as building, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical permits, will be required from the local building department. - Permit Application
We complete and submit all necessary permit applications on your behalf, including drawings, zoning verification and payment of fees. - Inspections
As construction progresses, we coordinate all required inspections with the building department and subcontractors to verify code compliance at each stage. - Certificate of Occupancy
Once all inspections pass and work is complete, we obtain the final certificate of occupancy or completion approval allowing you to occupy and use the structure. - Record Keeping
We retain full permit documentation and inspection records, providing you copies for your records and future use like refinancing or resale.
Our decades of experience navigating local permitting processes means we know exactly what is required to obtain quick approval of your project without surprises or delays. You can have confidence we will manage everything correctly from start to finish.
