Building Permit Drawings in Richmond Hill
High lot values push two projects above all others here: rebuilding bigger, and putting the basement to work. We draw both.
When Land Is Expensive, Every Square Foot Gets Drawn
Richmond Hill sits in the middle of York Region's priciest corridor, and its economics shape its construction. Older bungalows and split-levels on the mature streets west of Yonge are steadily replaced by larger custom homes; everywhere else, owners extract value from what they have — basement apartments for rental income, additions instead of moves. Expensive land rewards careful drawings: maximizing what a lot allows is precisely a documentation problem, and it's the one we solve.
A rebuild here starts with the lot's envelope — coverage, setbacks, height — and designs to it. We run feasibility, design the home, and produce the complete architectural permit set; for owners keeping the house, we draw second-storey and rear additions from measured existing drawings.

Richmond Hill rents support serious basement units, and its 1980s-to-2000s stock converts well — height, structure and services are usually on side. We design the unit and produce the permit drawings: separation, egress, services and the separate entrance.
