Detached • Attached • Accessory Structures

Garage and accessory building permit drawing for Ontario residential construction

Province-Wide Service

Leckie Drafting Services Inc. provides residential permit drawings for garages and accessory buildings throughout Ontario..

This service is intended for homeowners and builders who need clear, Ontario Building Code–compliant drawings for permit approval — without unnecessary design iterations or delays.

PROJECTS WE SUPPORT

We prepare permit drawings for:

  • Detached garages
  • Attached garages
  • Accessory buildings
  • Storage buildings and workshops
  • Residential outbuildings

Projects are designed under Part 9 of the Ontario Building Code, where applicable, and prepared by a BCIN-certified designer.

ONTARIO-WIDE — NO SITE VISITS REQUIRED

Most garage and accessory building projects can be completed anywhere in Ontario without a site visit.

Drawings are typically prepared using:

  • Client sketches
  • Reference or sample plans
  • Marked-up preliminary drawings

This approach allows for efficient turnaround and predictable project timelines.

A STANDARDIZED, PERMIT-FOCUSED APPROACH

Garage and accessory building drawings follow a consistent, standardized format developed through years of residential construction work.

The focus is on:

  • Clear dimensions
  • Constructable framing details
  • Code-compliant assemblies
  • Inspector-friendly documentation

This consistency helps reduce review time and avoid permit-related delays.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

  1. You provide a sketch or reference plan
  2. Preliminary permit drawings are prepared
  3. You mark up any required changes
  4. Revisions are completed
  5. Final permit drawings are issued

Upon completion, you receive:

  • A PDF set of completed permit drawings
  • Schedule 1 – Designer Information

These documents are ready for submission to your local building department.

ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS

Engineering requirements depend on building size and construction type:

  • Slab-on-grade garages over 55 m² typically require engineering
  • Smaller garages designed under Part 9 often do not require engineering
  • Requirements vary by municipality and site conditions

When engineering is required, coordination or referral to a qualified professional can be provided.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED

This service does not include:

  • Site plans
  • Septic design
  • HVAC design
  • Plumbing or electrical layouts
  • Construction or project management

These services are typically completed by other qualified consultants or trades, each responsible for their own regulated scope of work.

IS THIS SERVICE A GOOD FIT?

This service is well-suited for clients who:

  • Know the size and general layout they want
  • Have a sketch or reference plan
  • Want efficient, permit-ready drawings
  • Prefer a clear, structured process

It may not be a good fit for projects requiring:

  • Conceptual or aesthetic design services
  • Multiple design iterations
  • Extensive coordination with consultants
