    While many HVAC firms boast expertise, they can be costly, and do not want to share their knowledge or have difficulty communicating it. However, Saad at MSH Engineers was not only very knowledgeable and affordable, he also took the time to patiently answer all of our inquiries, no matter how trivial. He was able to highlight issues we had overlooked, and he generously proposed innovative solutions even before signing on with him. Without hesitation, I would easily recommend MSH Engineers and hope to work with them in the future.

    We were building our new spa and our architect recommended this company. He was asked to make the HVAC and plumbing drawings fast, and was able to meet our request. All work done by MSH exceeded our expectations and we absolutely will hire them again. 10/10 recommend.

    Saad did a great job with hvac and plumbing drawings for me. He was very responsive whenever I needed something from him. I told him I needed a quick turn around time for the drawings and he delivered as he said on time, professional and honest. I would definitely come back

    FAQs

    A building permit is an official approval from your local municipality to start construction, demolition, renovation, or additions to your property. The Building Permit Department reviews your plans to ensure they follow the building code, local zoning by-laws, and relevant regulations.

    If your project involves significant changes like structural alterations, demolitions, additions, or modifications to mechanical systems, you’ll likely need a building permit. However, smaller projects may be exempt.

    Common projects needing a permit include:

    • New construction, demolition, and additions
    • Significant renovations
    • Structural, plumbing or mechanical system changes Building permit requirements apply to residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

    Permit processing times vary by project complexity and the city’s workload:

    • Simple projects: a few weeks
    • Complex projects: several months

    Yes, cities in the Greater Toronto Area have specific building permit requirements that may vary slightly. These differences may impact your project, so it’s essential to work with a design consultant who understands the local by-laws.

    You must address these issues if you purchase a property with unpermitted alterations (e.g., additions or decks not to code). If built up to code, submitting drawings and permits to the city might suffice. If not, you’ll need a contractor to bring the work up to standard.

    You typically need a building permit if you plan to:

    1. Build a new unit or structure
    2. Add to an existing building
    3. Make structural changes
    4. Construct a large accessory structure 
    5. Build a deck or retaining wall (over 1 meter in height near public property)
    6. Demolish part or all of a building
    7. Erect a large tent near other structures
    8. Install a fireplace, chimney, or wood-burning stove
    9. Modify plumbing or heating systems
    10. Change building use (e.g., from residential to commercial)
    11. Install a backflow prevention device

    The permit process involves several stages:

    1. Gather the required documents and drawings.
    2. Submit your drawings for city review and await approval.
    3. Arrange site inspections at each construction stage, ending with final occupancy approval.

    Building without a permit is illegal and may result in significant consequences:

    • Fines up to $50,000 for a first offence and up to $100,000 for repeat violations
    • Legal action under Ontario’s Building Code Act
