Whether it be a Private Custom Built Home or an Addition & Renovation to your Home an HVAC Plan will be required.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Ministry of Municipal Housing and Affairs introduced new legislation that includes:
- Qualification requirements for building officials, designers, engineers and architects
- Registration requirements (i.e. qualified staff and insurance) for designers
- Increased insurance requirements
- Streamlined timeframes for building permit application reviews by municipalities
- New application timelines
- Enforced construction inspections
This means increased planning, code review, drawing preparation, permit wait time, fees associated with code consultation, insurance premiums, and construction document requirements. Our Designers are graduate’s of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Programs and/or Architectural Technology Programs that will provide profession HVAC Designs for all your HVAC Permit needs.
