What's Included in a Renovation Plan Submitted to Charlottetown's Planning Department?
Renovation projects typically require a building permit, so your drawing set needs to speak directly to code officials. A complete house renovation plan in Charlottetown should include fully dimensioned floor plans, elevation views, a cross section, and general notes that address the specific scope of your project. We build every building permit plan package with input from our in-house engineer, so nothing gets left out when it reaches the reviewer's desk.
Will My Floor Plans Comply with Charlottetown's Building and Heritage Bylaws?
If your home has heritage characteristics, exterior alterations may require additional review. Our heritage home renovation drawings
are prepared with that extra layer of review in mind, so your house renovation plan in Charlottetown
moves through the municipal review process as smoothly as possible. We also check with your local municipality as part of our process, and you can find more detail in our frequently asked questions about building codes and permits

Recreating Drawings for a Charlottetown Home With No Existing Records
A lot of character homes near Charlottetown's downtown core were built decades before digital records existed, so there's often nothing on file to work from. Our team brings laser measuring tools on site and builds a 3D as-built model from scratch, giving your house renovation plan in Charlottetown a solid starting point regardless of what's missing from the municipal archive. Once that model is ready, we convert it into renovation floor plans Charlottetown residents can walk through virtually, and you can get in touch to start your Charlottetown renovation plan .
