ASR Group Ltd offers comprehensive building permit and CAD drawing services for residential construction projects across Brampton, Mississauga, and the Greater Toronto Area. Navigating the permit process can be one of the most confusing and time-consuming parts of any renovation or construction project. Our dedicated permit team takes this burden off your shoulders, managing every step from initial drawings to final city approval so you can focus on the exciting part — watching your project come to life.
CAD drawings (Computer-Aided Design) are the foundation of every successful permit application. Our drafting team produces professional architectural drawings that meet the submission requirements of the City of Brampton and municipalities across the GTA. These drawings include detailed floor plans showing existing and proposed layouts, cross-section views with structural details, site plans indicating setbacks, lot coverage, and grading, elevation drawings showing exterior changes, and mechanical plans for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems where required.
For legal basement apartments, our CAD drawings include fire separation details, egress window specifications, ceiling height documentation, and plumbing layout plans. For separate entrance installations, we provide structural lintel details, waterproofing cross-sections, and drainage plans. For full house renovations involving structural changes, our drawings include engineered beam and column details prepared in collaboration with a licensed structural engineer. Every set of drawings is tailored to the specific requirements of your project and your municipality.
The City of Brampton building permit process begins with a pre-consultation, where we review your project scope against zoning bylaws to identify any potential issues before submission. This proactive approach saves time and avoids costly surprises. Common zoning considerations in Brampton include lot coverage limits, side and rear yard setbacks, parking requirements for second suites, and height restrictions. Our team has deep familiarity with Brampton's zoning bylaws and can advise you on what is permitted on your specific property.
Once the drawings are complete, we file the permit application with the appropriate municipal building department. We prepare all required forms, pay the application fees on your behalf (included in our service), and submit the complete package. In Brampton, residential permit applications are typically reviewed within 10 to 15 business days for simple projects and 4 to 8 weeks for more complex submissions like legal basement apartments or structural modifications.
If the city requests revisions to the submitted drawings — which is common, particularly for basement suites and structural work — our team addresses all comments promptly and resubmits the corrected plans. Our experience with Brampton's building department means we understand what the plans examiners are looking for, which reduces the likelihood of revision requests in the first place. When revisions are needed, we typically turn them around within 3 to 5 business days.
Inspection coordination is the final critical piece of the permit process. Once your permit is issued and construction begins, the city requires inspections at key stages of the project. For a typical basement renovation, these include framing inspection, rough-in plumbing and electrical, insulation and vapour barrier, and final inspection. Our project managers schedule each inspection, ensure the work is ready for review, and are present when the inspector arrives to answer any questions. Our goal is to pass every inspection on the first visit.
