Design, Permitting & Pre-Construction

01 · What Is This Service?

Design, permitting, and pre-construction is the critical phase before breaking ground, where ideas become permit-ready plans and budgets become buildable reality. Hans Development coordinates architects, engineers, and consultants, runs zoning and code analysis, manages municipal submissions, and produces a detailed construction budget and schedule. Getting this phase right prevents costly changes during the build.

02 · When Is This Service Necessary?

This service is necessary at the very start of any project, before permits or construction, and whenever you need to confirm a project is feasible, permitted, and budgeted before committing to build. It's also essential when a site has zoning questions, when you need variances, or when you want a fixed-price build based on complete drawings.

03 · What Is Required for This Service?

Pre-construction requires a survey, geotechnical and zoning analysis, architectural and engineering drawings, BC Energy Step Code modeling, and municipal permit applications. You'll need a realistic budget and a construction schedule. Hans Development manages the consultant team and submissions so your project is permit-ready and accurately priced.
