Permit Response Room

Coming soon · Toronto

The examiner's notice is back. Now the chase starts.

Permit Response Room splits every deficiency, sends each consultant only their items, and flags changes that affect someone else's drawings, so your resubmission goes back complete the first time.

What the chase looks like today

  • 01

    Every fix runs through you.

    You forward the notice, chase each consultant by email and text, and merge their answers by hand.

  • 02

    One change breaks another drawing.

    The engineer resizes a beam, the designer's section still shows the old one, and a second notice follows.

  • 03

    Nobody times it.

    The City tracks its review. The weeks spent assembling the response go unmeasured.

¹ 44% of open Toronto permit applications in plan review had no activity for more than six months. — City of Toronto Auditor General, 2024.

² More than 1 in 5 Toronto permit applications arrive missing basic documents. — Business Examiner / Village Report, 2026.

How it will work

  1. 1

    Upload the examiner's notice.

    It's split into individual items with a suggested owner for each. You confirm or reassign.

  2. 2

    Each consultant gets a link to only their items.

    No account needed. They reply, attach revised sheets, and mark items done.

  3. 3

    Cross-drawing changes get flagged.

    When one item's fix affects someone else's drawings, that person is alerted.

  4. 4

    See status in one place.

    The response matrix and letter are built for you as items close.
