Building

Building is committed to protecting public safety through the issuance of building permits and inspecting various stages of construction, and ensuring, through the Ontario Building Code, the Township's Building and Zoning By-laws, that a standard of health, life and fire safety standards are maintained. We do this through the issuing of permits, reviewing construction drawings, inspecting at various stages of construction. Staff also track and report to interested parties the status of the construction while providing building code information to the public and technical advice to Council, committees, other departments and agencies.
