Permit drawings and stamping in St. John's
Maser Construction prepares permit-ready drawings, arranges architectural and MEP stamping, and supports permit applications for projects in St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador.
How permits work in St. John's
Building permits in St. John's are handled by the City of St. John's, and projects follow the National Building Code of Canada as adopted in Newfoundland and Labrador together with local zoning. Requirements differ by building type, use and scope of work, and they change over time, so we check the current requirements for every project instead of relying on a template.
That is why we start each St. John's project by confirming what your permit needs: which drawings, whether stamping is required, and how long to plan for.
