Can house plans purchased online get you a building permit?

This depends on where they are purchased but typically the answer is NO!

Check out one of our recent designs for a beautiful cottage!! where the client purchased drawings online!

The original purchased drawings did not comply with Ontario's Building Code and the client wanted changes made, like adding a full basement walkout and making the loft all one open space!
