Calling ourselves Permit Ninjas might sound bold—but we’ve earned the title. At GNAR, we know the ins and outs of the permitting process in British Columbia like the back of our hand. When others hit a wall, we find a way through. Whether you’re facing a complex application or trying to legitimize work from years past, we know how to get it done.
Don’t let an unexpected stop work order throw your project off track. These days, municipalities are paying close attention. Any work—residential or commercial—requires proper permitting, no matter how minor it may seem.
Even simple changes like altering a window size or moving a plumbing fixture can require a building permit. And while skipping permits might seem like a way to save money, it often leads to much higher costs down the line.
In the Sea to Sky, and in many other municipalities, construction will be halted until all observed work is covered by an approved permit. This applies even if the work was done by a previous owner.
If you’re unsure whether your project requires a permit, ask a professional. Better yet, ask us. We’re here to guide you—every step of the way!

We love a challenge. We understand the system. And we thrive on helping you move forward.
