01Overview

Permit Services by Presto Constructions

We navigate the paperwork, drawings and approvals so you can get to construction faster.

Permits are one of the most common causes of construction delays. Incomplete applications, missing drawings or zoning issues can add weeks or months to a project. Presto Constructions manages the process from start to finish for residential, commercial and industrial work.

We coordinate the required drawings with designers and engineers, prepare and submit applications to the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities, respond to examiner comments, and keep you informed until the permit is issued.
