Often building departments struggle with keeping the fees for building permits, by-laws and websites up to date with the ever-changing needs to the customer and department as well as OBC requirements. Creating and updating these types of projects are time consuming and don’t often fit into the day-to-day priorities when there are many other aspects such as inspections and plans review and that take precedence on staff time.

What our clients are saying
Chris Peck
Chief Building OfficialI’d lost a staff member, our numbers were through the roof, our services levels were going down. We were struggling to keep up, and then we lost that person; then it just became untenable. Throughout the years I’ve been aware of what Gerald’s doing, and what he’s doing now really fit in with the needs that I had. He’s the guy I turned to. When we can’t deal with the workload with the personnel we have on staff, we turn to Gerald, whether through helping out with plan review or building inspections; that’s the assistance that he provides.
