Why Now is the Perfect Time to Get Permit Drawings for Fall & Winter Projects

Fall and winter aren’t just for staying indoors — they can be prime time for home improvement.

Whether you’re adding a cozy family room, building an income suite, or finally getting that garage workshop, starting your permit drawings now keeps your project on track and avoids costly delays.

1. Keep Construction Moving Year-Round

Not every project needs warm weather. Basement apartments, interior renovations, and even some additions can be built through the fall and winter — if your permits are in place.

2. Avoid the New Year Rush

Come January, many homeowners start booking contractors for spring. If you wait to start your drawings, you’ll be behind hundreds of other projects in the municipal queue.

3. Make the Most of Contractor Availability

Fall and winter can be slower for some trades, which means better availability and sometimes better rates. Having drawings ready now means you can lock in a start date.

4. Perfect Timing for ADUs and Basement Apartments

Get your drawings approved in the coming weeks, and you could have your new rental space ready before summer — bringing in extra income faster.
