C-MORE CONSTRUCTION
PERMITS
We realize that many homeowners do not have the knowledge of the building
code to make sure their contractor adheres to the rules.
Many contractors will say "You don't need a permit for that" but the truth is, you
need a permit if there is any demolition or construction taking place. As well, if
there are any electrical modifications or alterations made, you definitely need an
electrical permit. If anybody other than the City or the Electrical Safety
Authority(ESA) says "You don't need a permit", beware.
We strongly believe that permits should be acquired for all renovations. The
reason for this is that you are making a big investment in your home and it is
nice to be able to sleep at night knowing that it is being done the right way.
At C-More, we have nothing to hide in any of our work and welcome Inspections
by City Inspectors or even your friends and family.
Electrical permits
Electrical permits are issued by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and will be
obtained by our Licenced Electricians and we can provide you with the permit
number.
Obtaining a Building Permit
Obtaining a Building permit is a rather easy process for the homeowner. All you
need to do is bring your plans to a City office (Palladium Drive in Kanata) and you
will receive a permit usually in about 10 days.
At C-More we can provide you with the plans needed for your permit application
as part of our services to you.
I don't want permits because they will raise my property taxes
We were recently contracted to complete a basement renovation in Kanata that
was abandoned by the previous contractor due to illegal wiring that was found
by the homeowner. The previous contractor told the homeowner that there was
an ESA permit and all inspections had passed. The truth of the matter was it was
all a lie and this person is now being charged by the ESA for "endangering
human life" due to his negligence. These were not trivial problems that the ESA
found but rather issues that could have caused loss of life.
When we first entered this basement, it was nearing completion. The ESA had
told the homeowner to expose all of the basement wiring within 30 days or have
the hydro to his home disconnected. To accomplish this, we needed to remove
most of the drywall in the basement and while doing this found many other code
violations. There was improper plumbing, building code violations and more
illegal wiring. We were forced to tear out a completed bathroom to open up the
cement floor to inspect the underground plumbing because other visible items
seen by the plumbing inspector showed deficiencies and a toilet that backs up
for the rest of your life is not what you want in a finished basement.
If this project would have had Building and Electrical permits, these issues
would have been caught and corrected before it ever got to the point of
finishing this basement twice within six months.
Building permits and inspections are there to protect you from unscrupulous
contractors whom have no regard for you or your families safety.
