Toronto is piloting a new AI-powered pre-check for small residential building permit applications—a move that could be a game-changer for property owners and developers. This tool provides immediate feedback on any missing details, as well as zoning or code issues, helping to cut down on resubmissions and accelerate the review process. With my background in both residential and commercial real estate throughout the Toronto area, I know how much time and energy goes into navigating permits and approvals. Innovations like this can make a real difference for anyone planning a project in our city, and it’s encouraging to see steps being taken to streamline the process. The pilot runs for a year, so it will be interesting to watch how it impacts timelines and project planning.
