The Path to Approval

Four clear steps from conversation to permit in hand. We do the heavy lifting — you focus on your vision.

1

Free Feasibility Check

Share your address and scope. We review zoning, setbacks, DPA triggers, and site constraints — so you know what's possible before you spend a dollar.

2

On-Site As-Built Measuring

We capture your existing space with 360° Lidar scanning. Precise measurements, no guesswork, no costly re-dos down the line.

3

Code-Compliant Design

We draft your plans in Revit, coordinate with structural engineers, and ensure every detail meets BC Building Code and your municipality's requirements.

4

Permit Submission & Tracking

We compile the full package, submit to your city, and track it through review. You get the permit stamp — we handle the rest.

Who We Are

"Known as the provincial hub for tourism and major events, Vancouver is equally known for its rigorous city hall and fast adoption of new building codes—an environment where our technical precision truly shines."

We help homeowners and business owners in Vancouver get their projects approved with clear, accurate, and affordable drawings. Since our start in 2015, we've leveraged advanced tools like Revit for 3D Architecture and 360° Lidar scanning for precise measurements — reducing delays and preventing costly errors.

With Canadian Blueprint, you're not just getting drawings. You're getting a reliable partner dedicated to your project's success and your peace of mind.

Permit & Zoning Landscape in Vancouver

Navigating municipal zoning in Vancouver requires attention to key local guidelines:

  • Regulated under the Vancouver Building By-law (VBBL) instead of the standard BC Building Code.
  • Requires character assessment and heritage review for pre-1940 residential structures.
  • Permits laneway housing and secondary suites under updated multiplex and RS zoning guidelines.

Our team works closely with municipal bylaws to ensure drawings are approved quickly and with minimal revisions.

What Our Clients Say

Read honest feedback from local business owners and homeowners who have successfully navigated the city permit process with us.

"We found ourselves in a really stressful situation when the City of Vancouver issued an order to remove work done on our home without permits. With no experience navigating this kind of issue, a tight deadline, and limited finances, we felt completely overwhelmed. Canadian Blueprint offered clear guidance, flexible options, and a quick turnaround when revisions came up. Their professionalism and transparency were exactly what we needed during such a difficult process."

"I had a fantastic experience working with the team at Canadian Blueprint on my cannabis shop’s Development Permit and Tenant Improvement Permit Drawings in downtown Vancouver. The entire process, from initial drawings to navigating city requirements and even attending the Board of Variance (BOV) application, was handled with professionalism and expertise. Their communication was top-notch, and they were always available to answer any questions I had. The final drawings were accurate and met all the city's specifications. I highly recommend Canadian Blueprint to anyone looking for professional and reliable drafting and design services."
