Explore service →CITY PERMIT SUBMISSION · FULL SERVICE
One coordinated package. One point of contact.
Most permit delays come from coordination gaps between disciplines or occupancy classification questions left open—not from design complexity. EEB engineers the disciplines together in-house and settles code classification, such as Part 3 vs Part 9, before drawings are finalised.
Why work with EEB
- Licensed Ontario P.Eng. seal on every drawing set and calculation package
- Permit-ready packages for the City of Ottawa and Eastern Ontario municipalities
- Quality control review of every package before submission
- Mechanical, electrical, structural and civil coordinated in-house
- Engaged through plan-review comments until the permit is issued
FORENSIC ENGINEERING
Investigations with RForensics.
Through a partnership with Rustom Forensics (RForensics), an Ottawa-based forensic engineering and inspection firm, EEB supports structural failure and construction defect investigations, mechanical and electrical failure analysis, storm and fire damage assessments, insurance claims and expert witness reports prepared by licensed P.Eng.s.

Frequently asked questions
Can EEB submit the full permit package to the City?
Yes. EEB coordinates the mechanical, electrical, structural and civil drawings in-house and submits them as one package to the City of Ottawa and other Eastern Ontario municipalities.
What happens when the plan reviewer sends comments?
EEB revises the drawings, responds to each comment and re-issues sealed drawings until the permit is issued.
Do you resolve Part 3 vs Part 9 code classification questions?
Yes. Occupancy and code applicability are confirmed before drawings are finalised, which avoids one of the most common causes of permit delay.
What do you need from me to prepare a quote?
Send the building location, any available drawings, the services you need and your target schedule. EEB will review the technical requirements and prepare a lump-sum proposal for the defined scope.
