If you are interested in learning more about a multi-family residential development, please see the informational advisory before applying for a pre-application meeting. Given their novelty, all applicants for multi-family developments must initiate a pre-application meeting to proactively address any issues. Complete the meeting application, once you are able to provide comprehensive drawings, (Which may include site plans, elevations/floor plans, code analysis, servicing plans, and construction assembly details).
Please note: Pre‑development consultations and Pre‑application meetings are intended to provide general guidance only. City staff, acting as the local authority under The Saskatchewan Building Code Regulations, can explain requirements and how the building and development code applies to your project. City staff cannot design projects, prepare layouts, provide technical solutions or act as engineering or architectural consultants. Project design and detailed technical advice should be provided by a qualified design professional, such as an architect, engineer or other licensed practitioner.
Pre-Development Consultation Requests
Pre-development consultations are an opportunity to discuss general questions related to an upcoming building or development permit application.
This consultation will provide guidance on application types and their submission requirements based on the proposed scope of work. Discussions may include zoning information and process clarification. These meetings are intended to provide guidance on City resource materials related to building and development permits and improve the quality of future applications.
To request a consultation:
- Complete the Pre-Development Consultation Request
- Attach any applicable concept drawings pertaining to the discussion.
Once you have requested the consultation, our Permit File Support team will review the documentation and contact you. If you have specific questions related to comprehensive working drawings, please request a pre-application meeting.
Pre-Application Meeting Requests
These meetings are intended to support the development of productive working relationships, improve the quality of applications, and improve the efficiency of plan reviews while remaining within the parameters of Saskatchewan’s legislation.
