Building Permit Drawings in Hamilton
Century brick homes, multi-unit conversions and Mountain-era renovations — permit drawings for a city with some of Ontario's oldest housing stock.
Hamilton's Housing Is Old — That's Its Opportunity
Hamilton's lower city holds street after street of brick homes that predate modern codes by generations, and the Mountain adds mid-century stock on top. Owners and investors buy these houses for their bones and their price — and then need someone to document what a hundred-year-old building actually is before changing it. That's the discipline our Hamilton work is built on: measured existing drawings first, then renovation, conversion or addition sets that the City can review and a contractor can build from.
Old brick homes hide their surprises in the structure: undersized members, past alterations, foundations from another era. We measure and draw the building as it exists, flag what matters, and produce renovation permit sets that deal honestly with the original construction.
Measured Existing Drawings
The house as it truly is
Structural Alterations
Opening up century layouts
Additions
Extending older homes properly
Hamilton's large old houses convert naturally to multiple units, and its rental demand supports them. Conversions are code-intensive projects — unit separations, exiting, fire safety — and they succeed or fail on the drawings and code analysis. That's the package we deliver.
Multi-Unit Conversions
Single houses into legal multiplexes
Secondary Suites
Basement and upper-floor units
Change of Use
Documentation when use changes
