Certified Professional Services

GHL can facilitate Building Permit issuance through the Certified Professional (CP) program. The CP Program is an alternate ‘fast-track’ Building Permit process that allows Building and Occupancy Permits to be delivered faster due to the involvement of a Certified Professional. The CP Program can save months at times of peak activity at the City’s Building Department. It is a system in which an Owner/Developer can retain an Architect or Engineer who is certified to represent the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) for ascertaining substantial compliance with the BC Building Code, greatly simplifying and expediting the processing of building and occupancy permit applications.
