Approval Process Guide for ICI and Highrise Residential Construction Projects
Check the Zone Provisions
The City's zoning by-law governs how a building or parcel of land within the City of Brampton can be used. There may be limitations to the use of space, building location, parking requirements etc. Ensure that your proposed use is permitted and that your proposed construction can be accommodated.
Check for Other Required Approvals
Approvals from other departments or agencies may be required before the Building Division can accept an application for or issue a building permit.
Finding a Qualified Designer
In the province of Ontario, construction and change of use is regulated by the Ontario Building Code. The Building Code requires that the person or persons who prepare designs and documents for submission of an application for a building permit have certain qualifications. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs also keeps a record of qualified individuals. To search the qualifications of your designer, please use the Ministry website.

Construction Inspections
Once your permit has been issued you may begin construction. Several stages of the construction must be inspected and passed before you proceed to the next stage. If the building or use of the building is new, you will require an occupancy permit prior to occupying the space. For information on the required inspections please visit our Inspections Page.
