Drafting & Permits in St. Albert

St. Albert mixes long-established neighbourhoods with newer growth areas, and each side of the city comes with its own zoning considerations. The City’s land use bylaw sets the rules for what can be built on a lot — uses, size, height and setbacks — and a development permit is the City confirming your project follows them, ahead of the building permit that covers construction.

In St. Albert we most often help with secondary suites in existing homes, basement developments, additions and major renovations, and drawings for tenant improvements in local commercial spaces. If what you want to build goes beyond what the current zoning allows, we can also support a rezoning application.

Our process is built around one idea: check the zoning first. Before any drawings are paid for, we look up the rules for your specific lot and tell you plainly what is possible — so the design we prepare is one the City can approve.
