A Growing City With Room to Build

Barrie sits at the point where GTA housing pressure meets Simcoe County land — a fast-growing city where families arrive looking for space and stay to build on it. Compared to Toronto-area lots, Barrie properties leave real room for detached garages, workshops, additions and secondary suites. We serve Barrie from the GTA the way we work everywhere: design and drawings handled remotely and by phone, with site visits arranged when the project needs them.

Second Suites in Barrie

With a college, a hospital and a commuter rail link, Barrie has steady rental demand — and its housing stock, from wartime bungalows near the waterfront to 2000s two-storeys in the south end, converts well. We design basement suites and produce the permit drawings the City of Barrie's review requires.

Basement Suite Design

Self-contained second units

Legalization Drawings

Bringing existing units into compliance

Separate Entrances

Side-door and below-grade access

Garages, Workshops & Outbuildings

Larger Barrie lots make detached structures practical: two-car garages, heated workshops, and storage buildings. These need permit drawings too — foundations, framing, snow loads and setbacks all documented. We produce complete drawing sets for detached structures sized to your property.

Detached Garage Permits

From single-car to oversized shops

Workshop & Shed Drawings

Heated and unheated outbuildings

Carports & Covered Areas

Simple structures, properly permitted

Additions & New Builds

Whether it is a rear addition to a south-end two-storey or a new home on an infill lot, we take Barrie projects from feasibility through design to a complete architectural permit set — the same design-to-permit service shown on our Projects page.

Home Additions

Extending existing homes

New Home Design

Custom builds from concept to permit

Renovation Permits

Structural and interior alterations

Barrie Building Permit Questions

Most of a design-and-permit project — consultations, design reviews, drawing production, application preparation — happens by phone, email and screen anyway. We arrange site visits for measuring and key milestones. Barrie is within our regular service area; distance has not been an obstacle for our clients there.
Yes — that is the core of what we do. We design the project with you, produce the architectural permit drawings, and support the application through the City of Barrie's review, responding to examiner comments if they come up.
A site plan showing the structure's location and setbacks, plus construction drawings: foundation, framing, elevations and details appropriate to the building's size. We prepare the full set and size the structure to what your lot allows.
