Design, Drawings & Permits

Every renovation, addition or construction project starts with understanding what needs to be done.

Pacific Living Contracting helps coordinate the early stages of a project — from concept and planning through drawings, permits, approvals and engineering — before construction begins.

The goal is to create a clear path from the initial idea to the work on site.

Idea to Construction

Before the first wall comes down or the first frame goes up, there is work to be done.

We coordinate the stages that prepare your project for construction:

CONCEPT → DESIGN → DRAWINGS → PERMITS → APPROVALS → ENGINEERING → CONSTRUCTION

Each stage contributes to the next, helping move the project from an initial idea toward construction.

Design & Planning:

Turn your ideas into a practical project plan. We work through concepts, layouts and selections to establish what the finished space is intended to become.

Construction Drawings

Our process can include construction drawings, permit drawings and architectural plans as required for the project.

Permits

Renovations and additions may require permits and municipal approvals before construction can proceed. We coordinate the permit process for applicable building, renovation, addition and suite projects.

Licences & Approvals

Construction can involve required trade licences, inspections, approvals, documentation and code requirements. We coordinate these requirements as part of the overall project process.

Engineering

Some projects require structural engineering when changes affect the structure of the building. This can include work involving: Beams · Openings · Structural Changes Engineering is coordinated as part of the project where required.

Project Management

The planning stage doesn't end when construction starts. Pacific Living Contracting coordinates applications, scheduling, trades, inspections, construction and completion as the project moves forward.
