DM cross-checks submitted documents against its existing records — a mismatch between what's submitted and what's on file (an outdated structural drawing, an expired trade license) is one of the most common reasons applications are returned.

Building Permit Documents — FAQs
Do document requirements differ by application type?
Yes — while there's a core set common to most applications, specific requirements vary by whether it's a new permit, renewal, transfer, or amendment.
What's the most commonly missing document?
Updated structural drawings or calculations — particularly when a project has evolved since the original design.
Do documents need to be in a specific format?
Yes — DM's BPS portal has specific formatting requirements for drawings and reports.
How current do ownership documents need to be?
Generally recent — outdated title deeds or ownership records can trigger a request for updated documentation.
Can Structural Solutions prepare the structural documentation for me?
Yes — structural drawings, calculations, and reports are core to what we provide as part of any DM application.
