The property was completely outdated and required a full remodel. The main floor features light flooring and dated floral wallpaper. The bathroom has an old sliding glass tub enclosure and a sickly yellowish-green color palette. The basement is partially finished with a mix of damaged drop ceiling tiles, exposed utilities (wiring, ductwork), pink-painted block walls, and old carpeting, suggesting moisture risk and lack of modern code compliance.

Cadaxx handled the interior renovation permit submission under OBC Part 9, ensuring all details met structural and fire-separation requirements.
Our Steps:
-
Site measurement and as-built drawing creation
