Four steps from first call to municipal submission

Pre-application review

You get a clear list of which technical reports your application needs. Based on the municipality's requirements and your site conditions.

Scope and fee

You get a fixed-fee proposal with the technical scope defined. Site-specific constraints are flagged before the work starts.

Preparation and review

Engineering work is prepared and reviewed under the responsibility of licensed Ontario Professional Engineers, then sealed where applicable.

Comment response

The engineering team addresses reviewer comments and coordinates resubmissions. This is included in the fee, not billed as an extra.

Engineering informed by municipal review experience

Ten years of municipal development-review experience informs how submissions are scoped, coordinated and prepared. Common reviewer concerns are considered before the first submission.
