Mature Streets, Homes Worth Reinvesting In

South of the QEW, Burlington is a city of mature streets — 1950s-to-1970s bungalows and sidesplits on generous lots, close to the lake and downtown. Those homes are worth too much, and sited too well, to leave as-is; the classic Burlington project is the deep renovation: a second storey on a bungalow, a rear addition, or a full interior rebuild. Further north, newer communities bring more conventional work — basement finishing and suites. We draw all of it.

Bungalow Additions & Second Storeys

Adding a storey to a bungalow is one of the most demanding residential drawing jobs: the existing structure must be measured, assessed and documented, and the new work designed around what the original house can carry. We produce the complete existing-and-proposed permit set these projects need.

Burlington Building Permit Questions

Can our 1960s bungalow take a second storey?

Often — but it depends on the foundation and structure of your specific house, which is why every second-storey project starts with an assessment and measured drawings of the existing building. We give you the honest answer before design begins.

Do aging-in-place changes need permits?

Structural changes, new bathrooms and additions do. We design the modifications and produce the permit drawings, so the work is done once and done right.

What does a Burlington permit application need?

A complete drawing set — site plan, existing and proposed plans, elevations and construction details, with Ontario Building Code analysis. We prepare that package and support it through the City of Burlington's review.
