Permit packages for restaurants, cafés, ghost kitchens, and takeout — including kitchen exhaust, grease interceptors, and change-of-use expertise. Serving Toronto and the entire GTA.
Restaurants are the most demanding commercial permit category in the GTA, and the one where inexperienced drawings cost you the most. Kitchen exhaust and makeup air systems, grease interceptor sizing, washroom counts driven by occupant load, fire suppression over cooking lines — each one is a place where a plan examiner can bounce your application.
We've built restaurants, not just drawn them. That means our drawings anticipate the questions before the city asks: where the hood duct actually routes through the building, whether the sanitary line can handle the interceptor, how the occupant load affects your exits and washrooms, and whether your landlord's base-building systems can support your equipment schedule.
Whether you're converting a retail unit into a café (a change of use), fitting out a brand-new shell, or renovating an existing kitchen, we handle the complete package — drawings, submission, health-unit coordination touchpoints, and every city comment through to approval.
Every drawing we produce is backed by 20+ years of hands-on commercial construction across the GTA. We know what plan examiners look for because we've stood on both sides of the process — and we know what contractors need because we've been the contractor. That combination is why our clients' applications move.

Complete, coordinated drawings are the single biggest factor in keeping the timeline short.
Often yes, but it's a change of use that triggers additional code requirements: washrooms, ventilation, fire separations, and sometimes accessibility upgrades. We assess this before you finalize the lease so there are no six-figure surprises.
Yes. We build your equipment schedule into the drawings and coordinate hood sizes, gas loads, and electrical requirements with your supplier so the permit set matches what's actually being installed.
