Duties & Responsibilities of the Owner Duties & Responsibilities of the Designer Duties & Responsibilities of the Contractor Duties & Responsibilities of our Office Building By-Laws Code Handouts Frequently Asked Questions Pamphlets Applicants are URGED to submit their required drawings, including site plan, as early in the process as possible. Once our office has your drawings, we will review them to ensure they meet the requirements of the Manitoba Building Code (MBC) and the applicable Zoning By-Law.
Our office requires a MINIMUM of (2) two weeks to review the permit application. During the "rush" periods of the construction season, review of your permit application may exceed the typical (2) two-week review time line.
If there are any discrepancies or any missing information within the drawings you submitted, our office will contact the appropriate person and request written clarification on the concern.
Included in the cost of the building permit are any required inspections. These inspections are specific to the drawings provided. When the building permit is issued, this list of inspections is provided either on the actual permit or within an attached Drawing Review Letter.
Homeowners are encouraged to request a copy of this letter from their contractor, if the permit is in the possession of the contractor.
Our office requires a MINIMUM of 24 hours notice when an inspection is required. Inspections are provided Monday to Friday (except holidays), during normal business hours. If this notice is not given, unfortunately we cannot guarantee the inspection can be done, meaning that the work may need to be certified by an engineer.
If inspections are not called for, our office cannot know when they need to be done. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to ensure that all required inspections are called for, as requested by the permit issued.
