Do I need a permit to underpin a basement in Don Mills?
Yes. Underpinning, bench footings and any structural foundation work in Don Mills need a building permit plus stamped drawings from a licensed Ontario structural engineer under the Building Code, and the city inspects in stages. That process is why an underpinning job is scoped very differently from flatwork, and because it is excavation work it runs year-round.
