Permits · non-compliance · difficult files

Architecture for files that should never be oversimplified.

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.

Regulatory review

File 01 — triage

What the city requests. What the building allows. The next useful decision.

Start with the situation

What needs to be unblocked?

A regulatory file begins with its trigger, deadline and available evidence.

Our method

Analysis comes before drawings.

Each mandate begins with a verifiable decision: what is possible, what is missing and who needs to be involved.

  1. 01

    Send

    Address, photos, received document and deadline.

  2. 02

    Analyze

    Zoning, code, history and realistic options.

  3. 03

    Frame

    Scope, deliverables, limits and next decision.

Proof of method

Real files, careful outcomes.
