What Our Clients Say
We love removing the stress from the permitting process—hear directly from our satisfied clients!
“Shelley was a dream to work with on our project. She managed to navigate my business partner and I being in different provinces and with an incredibly difficult builder. Not sure how she does such a tedious process so seamlessly and with such a positive attitude no matter how difficult the situation. You’d be crazy not to hire Shelley for your project!”

A: The time it takes to secure a permit depends on the city or municipality where your project is located.
