The problem

You want to build.
The paperwork comes first.

  1. 01

    Drafting eats the job

    Every deck or basement needs drawings and City forms before you earn a dollar: hours at night, or $300 to $800 a job to a designer.

  2. 02

    Every City is different

    Fees, forms and rules change at the City line, and a missing form restarts the clock.

  3. 03

    Clients change their minds

    Two feet wider means redrawing every sheet, again.

What Pro does

From the first sketch
to the City’s inbox.

Design with your client in 3D

Start from your templates or a past job. The Building Code checks run as you draw.

A full permit set from one model

Site plan, framing, elevations and details, redrawn every time the design changes.

The City’s forms, filled in

Forms, fees and checklists for 285 Ontario municipalities checked so far, filled from the job.

Your name and BCIN on every sheet

Your title block, notes and responsibility statement, ready to sign and submit.

Proposals that win the job

The design, drawings and priced materials go to your client as one proposal, with your logo.

Unlimited revisions

When the City sends comments, add them and issue a new revision at no extra cost.

Who signs the drawings

In Ontario, drawings for a client’s house must be signed by a BCIN-qualified designer, an architect or an engineer. Gablebird puts the signer’s name, BCIN and responsibility statement on every sheet. No one on staff? Invite your designer to your company workspace to review and sign the set.

Unlimited revisions: when the City asks for changes, add its comments and get new drawings at no extra cost.
