Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Expanding the Unit’s Footprint
The renovation required moving an exterior wall outward, adding approximately 20 square feet to the unit. This change triggered municipal oversight, as additional floor area typically requires approval.
Solution:
We navigated the municipal process on the client’s behalf and secured a Development Permit exemption, allowing the added square footage to be approved without delays. This ensured the project moved forward smoothly while staying fully compliant with city requirements.
