FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Toora Home Plans.

Timelines vary by project complexity. A secondary suite or simple renovation typically takes 2–3 weeks. A full custom home permit package generally takes 4–6 weeks from the time all required information is received. We'll give you a clear timeline estimate before starting.

A standard permit package includes a site plan, all floor plans, four-sided elevations, cross-sections, a foundation plan, and a list of construction notes and schedules. If structural engineering is required, we can coordinate with a licensed engineer on your behalf.

Yes — while we're based in Surrey, we work throughout the Greater Vancouver Area, including Langley, Abbotsford, White Rock, Delta, Burnaby, and beyond. We're familiar with building code requirements across Metro Vancouver municipalities.

To get started we typically need your property's legal description or address, a survey certificate (if available), any existing plans of the home, your municipality's development permit conditions (if applicable), and a clear description of what you want to build.

While we prepare all necessary drawings and documentation, permit submission is typically done by the homeowner or contractor directly with the city. We provide all the paperwork you need and are happy to advise on the submission process.

Absolutely. We work closely with contractors, builders, and developers throughout Metro Vancouver. If you're a contractor looking for a reliable designer for your clients, we'd love to connect.
