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

"The capital is a favorite getaway for me; its blend of historic charm, university energy, and retirement communities makes it a fascinating landscape for architectural design."

We help homeowners and business owners in Victoria and across BC 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 Victoria

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

  • Victoria features detailed heritage conservation guidelines that apply to designated properties and zones.
  • Strict tree preservation regulations mandate permits for removal or impact on protected trees.
  • Active SSMUH and infill development guidelines support laneway houses and garden suites.

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.

"Edward and the design team from Canadian Blue Print assisted us with a building permit challenge. We were required by our city building permit department to obtain a permit for a minor renovation that the previous home owner did in 1987, before we bought the house in 2008. The 1987 building permit and blue prints for our house were destroyed in a fire at city hall in the 1990's. We were required to provide a full set of blue prints, for the entire house and obtain a building permit based on the current building code, all at our own expense. Edward and team were fantastic to deal with, guiding us through this complex process with great patience, outstanding communication skills and expertise. They went to great effort to help us understand the requirements of the structural engineer and find the best solutions to every challenge. We have obtained the building permit and are in the process of complying to the current building code requirements. I highly recommend Edward and the design team at Canadian Blue Print, they are true professionals."

"We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Canadian Blueprint Design. From the very beginning, Edward and his team have shown an exceptional level of personalized service in helping us design our retail storefront. They guided us through the development permit process and building permits with clarity, patience, and professionalism — always with our best interests at heart. Their approach was effective, efficient, and refreshingly affordable. They never tried to upsell or over-complicate things, and it was clear they genuinely cared about helping us achieve our goals. If you're looking for someone who will treat you like a real person — not just another project — and who will work with honesty and integrity every step of the way, we highly recommend Edward and Canadian Blueprint. Thank you for everything guys - can't wait till the next project!"
