Atlas Designs has launched a spring promotion offering homeowners and builders up to 25% off permit drawings for new projects, including laneway suites, garden suites, basement apartments, and commercial permits, with pricing starting at $1200. The initiative addresses growing demand for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) across the Greater Toronto Area as property owners seek to maximize residential space and generate rental income.
The company, which has completed over 500 projects since its inception, has built a reputation for navigating Ontario's complex municipal permit requirements. With more than 40 five-star reviews on Google, Atlas Designs has established itself as a trusted resource for residential and commercial property development across the region.
Toronto and surrounding municipalities have seen a significant uptick in laneway suite and garden suite applications following provincial legislation that streamlined approval processes for secondary dwelling units. The 2026 spring promotion responds to increased interest from homeowners looking to add legal rental units to their properties, as well as builders managing multiple development projects.
"The permit process can be one of the most frustrating barriers for homeowners who want to build a laneway suite or convert their basement into a legal apartment," said George Saeed, Managing Director at Atlas Designs. "Our approach removes that uncertainty. We handle the technical drawings, zoning requirements, and municipal submissions so clients can move forward with confidence."
The spring promotion covers a range of services, from laneway suite permits to commercial building applications. Each project begins with a consultation to assess site-specific requirements, including setback regulations, height restrictions, and fire safety codes. Atlas Designs then produces detailed architectural drawings that meet municipal standards, reducing the likelihood of application delays or rejections.
Laneway suites have become particularly popular in Toronto's established neighborhoods, where large backyards and rear-lane access provide opportunities for additional housing without altering street-facing facades. Garden suites, which are standalone structures typically placed in rear yards, offer similar benefits. Both unit types require comprehensive permit packages that include site plans, floor plans, elevations, structural and mechanical details.
Basement apartment conversions represent another significant portion of Atlas Designs' work. Ontario regulations mandate specific requirements for legal basement dwellings, including ceiling height minimums, separate entrances, egress windows, and fire seperations. The company's drawings address these technical specifications while accommodating client preferences for layout and finish.
The 25% discount applies to new projects initiated during the promotional period, which runs through June 2026. Homeowners and builders can request quotes for specific project types, with final pricing determined by complexity. The $1200 starting price point covers basic permit drawing packages for standard residential applications.
Beyond permit drawings, Atlas Designs provides ongoing support throughout the municipal review process. The company fields questions from building departments, addresses reviewer comments, and submits revised documents when necessary. This full-service approach has contributed to the company's track record of successful permit approvals across multiple Ontario municipalities.
"We've worked with cities and towns throughout the GTA, and each one has its own interpretation of the building code and zoning bylaws," Saeed added. "That local knowledge makes a difference when you're trying to get a project approved quickly."
The company operates from its Whitchurch-Stouffville headquarters, serving clients across the Greater Toronto Area and broader Ontario market. Atlas Designs maintains relationships with municipal planning departments, building inspectors, and industry professionals, facilitating smoother project timelines for residential and commercial clients alike.
As housing affordability continues to challenge Ontario residents, secondary dwelling units offer property owners a way to increase housing supply while generating supplementary income. Provincial and municipal governments have responded with regulatory changes designed to encourage ADU development, creating opportunities for companies like Atlas Designs that specialize in permit facilitation.
