Architectural Design
& Permit Services
Introduction
As a one-stop, professional membership of General Contractors and related services, The Renovation Co-op offers its Architectural Design & Permit Services separately,
This enables you to purchase your Drawings & Permit first...without being obligated to any one contractor (including our own member-contractors)
That said... (and here's the good part)...if you obtain your Drawings & Permit through a Co-op member-Designer (Licensed BCIN), you will be entitled to receive an Architectural Rebate ($1,500 max.) which will be credited towards the final contract price of the actual renovations (Project must be completed by a member-contractor).

Permit Compliance
Services
Have you been issued a Stop-Work Order or Permit Compliance Order?
If you don't act immediately, you could wind up in financial “hot water”.
Regardless of how far the issue has gone, our Permit Compliance Specialists will act quickly to resolve the issue on your behalf.
Note:
Due to mandatory timing requirements imposed within most Permit Compliance Orders, priority will always be given to Permit Compliance Estimate Requests.
What is a BCIN?
In 2005, the Ontario government boldly launched what was to become the most innovative Permit Processing System in North America.A special training & licensing program was established, called The BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) System.Note: Several of The Renovation Co-op's senior-level specialists acted as consultants throughout the program's development. Offered to designers and other professionals involved in the construction industry, applicants may take up to 12 individual courses, ranging from Basic Design Principles to Building Code Regulations, Legal Processes, Structural Modifications and more.Upon successful completion of the courses and technical examinations, the applicant becomes designated with his/her own BCIN License.This represented a major change to the way in which Building Permits would be obtained: A BCIN-licensed designer can be hired directly by a homeowner...not just to provide the drawings for a Building Permit, but to also apply for the permit on behalf of the property owner, without a contractor being first selected.
