Under the Building Code Act, what must be included in permit applications?

Permit applications under the Building Code Act must include prescribed plans and specifications. This requirement ensures that the proposed construction meets the relevant safety and performance standards outlined in the Building Code. Detailed plans and specifications provide necessary information about the design, materials, and construction methods intended for the project, enabling authorities to assess compliance with zoning by-laws, safety regulations, and construction standards.

Including only details of subcontractors or financial estimates does not satisfy the comprehensive requirements for evaluating structural integrity and design compliance, while client testimonials do not pertain to the technical aspects of the building design or construction process, making them irrelevant in a permit application context.
