Home renovations and construction

Cruzz Construction serves Burlington for residential renovation and commercial construction projects. Burlington’s home-construction guidance identifies a pre-building approval application before a building permit application. The City also publishes permit submission and status resources. Review those local steps with the property and proposed work, then bring the available information into the construction scope discussion.

## What happens before the Burlington permit application?

The City’s [home construction and renovation guidance](https://www.burlington.ca/en/building-and-renovating/home-construction-and-renovation.aspx) identifies a Pre-Building Approval Application before a building permit application. Review the project against the current City instructions. For [a home addition](https://cruzzconstruction.com/residential/additions/), discuss the property and proposed footprint while approvals are being considered.

## How is a permit package submitted?

Burlington’s [application guidance](https://www.burlington.ca/en/building-and-renovating/applying-for-a-building-permit.aspx) lists the permit package and provides email submission instructions. Use the City’s current requirements for the actual project. Keep the drawings used for pricing consistent with the information submitted for review, especially during [a larger home renovation](https://cruzzconstruction.com/residential/home-renovations/).

## Where can a property’s permit status be checked?

The City provides [permit-status information](https://www.burlington.ca/en/building-and-renovating/check-the-status-of-a-permit.aspx) and a map for active permits. Existing records can help establish what information is already available. They should be read alongside the proposed work rather than treated as approval of a new renovation.

## How does this affect a construction brief?

State which approval step has been reached, which drawings are current and which decisions remain open. A [basement renovation](https://cruzzconstruction.com/residential/basement-renovation/) should name its intended use; a [commercial unit](https://cruzzconstruction.com/commercial/tenant-improvements/) should include landlord requirements. The [brief checklist](https://cruzzconstruction.com/guides/quote-preparation/) helps keep that information together.
