Basement Permit Drawings in Ontario

Get code-compliant basement permit drawings for renovations, finished basements, or legal secondary suites. At Neo-Scenic Designs, we specialize in detailed basement building permit drawings that help you get approved fast and start construction sooner.

If you’re planning a basement renovation in Ontario — adding bedrooms, bathrooms, a walkout, or creating a legal basement apartment — you’ll need proper Basement Permit Drawings that meet the Ontario Building Code (OBC). We make the permit process simple.

Why You Need Basement Building Permit Drawings

    Basement renovations require a building permit when you add or alter:

    • Bedrooms, bathrooms, or kitchens

    • Separate entrances or egress windows

    • Plumbing, HVAC, or structural elements

    • Legal basement apartments (second units)

    Skipping the permit can result in stop-work orders, insurance issues, or problems during resale.
