Building Permit Guidance & Renovation Support

Not sure where to start? We guide homeowners through the entire permit process — from initial drawings to municipal approval — so you don't have to figure it out alone.

Not Sure Where to Start? That's Exactly Why We're Here.

Most homeowners have never applied for a building permit before. You know what you want to build — a deck, an addition, a basement conversion, a renovated kitchen — but the process of actually getting it approved by the municipality can feel like a maze. What drawings do you need? Do you need an engineer? What calculations does the building department require? How long does it take? The questions pile up fast, and it's easy to feel stuck before you've even started.

AMP Engineering guides you through the entire process. We sit down with you, understand your project, and then handle the engineering side: structural drawings, load calculations, site plans, and whatever documentation your municipality requires for permit approval. We prepare the submission package, respond to any reviewer comments, and keep things moving until you have your permit in hand. You focus on your renovation — we handle the paperwork and engineering that makes it legal.

This isn't a service designed for developers or large contractors. It's for homeowners and property owners who need practical, straightforward help getting a project permitted. Tony Pascoal Jr. has guided hundreds of residential projects through the permit process across Eastern Ontario municipalities, from Kingston to Ottawa to small-town building departments in between. Every municipality has its own quirks. We know them.
