Do you need a permit for industrial work?

Yes, for new buildings, additions, mezzanines, new walls and most fit-outs. Gas stations involve other regulators as well, so we coordinate the building permit drawings with the specialist consultants your project needs.

WHAT WE CHECK

Key requirements we design for

Zoning & site plan

Use, setbacks and site plan approval where required.

Occupancy

Industrial occupancy classification and hazards.

Structure

Mezzanines, racking and new floor loads.

Fire safety

Exits, separations and sprinkler coordination.

Ventilation

For workshops, vehicles or processes.

Specialists

Coordinating fuel, environmental and other consultants.

EXISTING CONDITIONS

Before we design: what we check in industrial spaces

Industrial buildings are classified by what happens inside them. Storage, light manufacturing and work with flammable materials each bring different requirements, so we start by understanding your operation.

For mezzanines we check the floor, the columns and the footings, and how the new level is exited. Racking and equipment loads go into the design from the start.

Gas stations and similar sites involve other regulators. We prepare the building permit drawings and coordinate with the specialists your project needs.

AVOID DELAYS
