1. Building permit regulations can vary slightly dependingon your municipality. We can help you research what is permissible for your property.

As per our local building department regulations here in Lindsay: "Building permits are required for all structures exceeding 10 square metres (108 ft2), including structures less than 10 square metres that are attached or directly adjacent to another structure, as well as all plumbing installations and alterations. Please contact the Building and Septic Division office if you are unsure if a building permit is required.

Permits are not required for self-contained structures 10 square metres or less, and not containing plumbing.

Permits are not required for decks less than 0.6 metres (2 ft) above grade, provided the deck is not located adjacent to a private on-site sewage system (unless approved by the septic inspector).

New **Permits are not required for sheds 15 square metres or less, effective April 29, 2022.

(...)

All structures, whether governed by a building permit or not, are required to comply with applicable zoning requirements."

2. If the structure requires a building permit we will need to discuss and invest in a building design. We can use our preferred designer or use one of your choosing.

3. We can offer you a detailed quote for the building. If the quote is well within your budget you may like to add additional features or increase the quality of materials. If the quote is more than you were thinking to spend than we can work with your concept to look at ways of decreasing cost - such as removing features.

4. Once the quote is approved we can move forward with negotiating a work agreement and down payment.

5. If the structure requires a permit, the building design and site plan will need to be submitted to your local building department for approval.

6. Once the project has started, it would be paid in increments based on project progress.

7. Once started, you are still able to change plans and customize within reason. This may affect the cost of the project depending on the changes.

8. After the project is completed, we would look over the structure with you and create a punch list of anything that you would like to add and/or change.

9. We stand by our limited warranty on workmanship.
