Measurite handled building approvals including variances for a very complex and drawn-out project replacing a garage built probably in the 1930's with a new garage structure. The placement of the old garage predated current bi-law restrictions, and space restrictions made application for variances necessary. Approval is also necessary for the removal of a mature maple which was pushing down the old garage and would interfere with necessary placement of the new one.
Doug has been very helpful and co-operative in marshaling this project through a complex and drawn-out bureaucratic process involving co-ordination of several other service, construction and consulting companies.
It's not over yet, but there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel and most of the bureaucratic hurdles seem to have been successfully negotiated.
