What is Van Permit Audit?

Van Permit Audit is an AI-powered tool that analyzes your building permit drawings against the City of Vancouver Zoning By-law, Building By-law, and Parking By-law. Upload your PDF and get a compliance report in under 60 seconds.

How much does a compliance report cost?

Your first analysis is free. A full permit-readiness review (PDF) with bylaw citations and senior regulatory assessments costs $149 CAD per report. Developer and Business monthly plans are also available for high-volume users.

Which Vancouver bylaws does the tool cover?

Van Permit Audit covers the Zoning and Development By-law (including RS-1 District Schedule), Vancouver Building By-law 2025 (Volumes 1 and 2), Noise Control By-law, and Parking By-law. The knowledge base is updated with the latest consolidations.

Can this replace a professional engineer or architect review?

No. Van Permit Audit is an AI advisory tool for preliminary compliance screening. All projects must still be reviewed and stamped by a licensed P.Eng. or Registered Architect before permit submission.
