Common Questions

To get started, we typically require the property address and any information you have about the project or your plans for the site. From there, we can discuss your goals, review the available information and identify the next steps.
Minor variances can take approximately three months, while an Official Plan Amendment can take up to twelve months. Site constraints also play a significant role in determining timelines. For example, sites with more extensive ecological features may require additional studies and protection measures, resulting in a longer and more detailed approval process than that required for a minor variance or a parking deficiency.
Absolutely. We regularly step in to manage and coordinate applications that are already partway through the approvals process. If you need us to manage a sole-purpose use, such as land approvals prior to building permits, we can support that as well.
The earlier, the better. Getting involved early can help identify potential issues, planning constraints and development opportunities before making significant investments. This can help prevent costly mistakes and delays later in the process.
We can also step in at any stage of a project if you need support with planning, approvals, permits or consultant coordination.
