What this tool is and is not

AI-assisted pre-screen. Not a P.Eng. or city approval.

The Permit Compliance Audit is an automated pre-submission check against bylaw text. It catches common bylaw problems early so you can fix them before your P.Eng. or Registered Architect reviews the drawings. It does not replace that professional review, does not constitute a city approval, and does not affect your legal obligations under the BC Building Code or Vancouver Building By-law. Our full disclaimer appears on every report.

Coverage

43 municipalities in BC, Ontario and Alberta

38 BC municipalities across Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, and Interior/North BC, plus 5 cities in Ontario and Alberta. Coverage expands whenever updated bylaw PDFs are released.
