Basement opening: correcting before seal
A window enlargement and well had to be documented for a permit.
Permits · non-compliance · difficult files
ARCHI-dép reviews the bylaw, existing conditions and the city's request before producing drawings. To legalize, respond, decide — or design a project that holds up.
File 01 — triage
What the city requests. What the building allows. The next useful decision.
Start with the situation
A regulatory file begins with its trigger, deadline and available evidence.
Our method
Each mandate begins with a verifiable decision: what is possible, what is missing and who needs to be involved.
Address, photos, received document and deadline.
Zoning, code, history and realistic options.
Scope, deliverables, limits and next decision.
Proof of method
A window enlargement and well had to be documented for a permit.
An unauthorized alteration was under zoning enforcement.
A non-compliance issue and deck project had to move without mixing responsibilities.

Next decision
Municipality, issue and deadline are enough to start triage. A quote always comes before payment.
