Do I need a Building Permit?The simple answer is Yes. In accordance with the City bylaws you need a permit for any demolition or construction that takes place on your property. At C-More we strongly believe in permits to protect you as a Homeowner. If you were up on all building codes and best practices you would most likely be doing your own home renovation. Like most people you are not and depend on a contractor to deal with all of these aspects of the renovation and trust them to do it right. At C-More we know doing it right is the only way to do it and we want you to be able to sleep at night knowing it has been done right. By having the City inspect the work, you can sleep at night knowing your home is safe.
