Bypass municipal red tape. We handle the zoning analysis, code-compliant drawings, and city submissions so you can start building faster!
Fully accredited to provide architectural designs and structural drawings across the province. Every design we draft is guaranteed to meet the strict requirements of the Ontario Building Code.
Navigating municipal red tape is our specialty . From standard residential additions to complex multiplex conversions under Toronto's new zoning bylaws, we design strictly within the city's parameters to prevent expensive redesigns and delays.
We eliminate the municipal guesswork. DB Designs handles the entire permit submission process on your behalf, directly answering examiner questions and minimizing pushback so you can break ground without the standard delays.

Expand your footprint and seamlessly integrate into the existing home without the municipal headache. We navigate Toronto’s strict lot coverage limits, property setbacks, and forestry bylaws to get your additions and accessory structures approved.

Opening up your main floor? We re-imagine your space. We specify the structural beams and provide the necessary BCIN-stamped permit drawings to safely remove load-bearing walls and completely remodel your interior space.

Maximize your property’s potential. We design a functional space around the complex zoning math, fire separations, and Ontario Building Code requirements to legally convert single-family homes into fully compliant multi-unit dwellings.

Start with a zero-pressure conversation where we discuss your specific vision and project goals. We will run a preliminary review of your exact property address to identify any immediate zoning hurdles or forestry bylaws right out of the gate. You walk away with a clear, actionable roadmap and a precise understanding of the required timelines before ever spending a dime.

Once we establish our client wish list and zoning parameters, our team takes over the complex zoning math and structural planning to safely maximize your allowable space. We draft the complete, BCIN-stamped architectural and structural drawing packages required by the Ontario Building Code. Every detail is meticulously optimized to ensure your proposed layout aligns perfectly with your individual needs and municipal regulations, preventing costly redesigns later.

We submit the finalized application directly to the city on your behalf and act as your sole representative throughout the entire review process. If the municipal examiners have any technical questions or require modifications, we handle the back-and-forth communication entirely so you don't have to. We deliver the fully approved, ready-to-build permit straight to your inbox so your contractors can break ground immediately.
