FAQs

Do I need a permit to remove a load-bearing wall in Toronto?
Yes. Any wall that supports structural loads (such as floor joists, roof framing, or another wall) requires a building permit and engineered drawings under the Ontario Building Code. -
Can Cadaxx help with the structural design?
Absolutely. Cadaxx coordinates directly with licensed structural engineers to prepare stamped drawings, ensuring the wall removal is safe, code-compliant, and quickly approved by the City. -
How long does the permit process take?
Typically, a standard wall-removal permit in Toronto takes 2–4 weeks for approval, depending on the complexity of the structure and the City’s review timeline. -
