A Site Plan is a drawing depicting the location of buildings, accessory structures, driveways, services, and significant landscape or site altering structures; and their relationship to the boundary of the property. Normally a Site Plan does not include elevation information. A Grading Plan is a drawing depicting the same information as the Site Plan above, but with the addition of elevation information and Grading details. The intent of the Grading Plan is twofold. To prove conformance with Zoning By-Laws, and to prove the design will not negatively impact adjacent properties.

Often an architect will include an architectural site plan in their drawing set. It is a reference drawing indicating the intent of the building placement on the lot. In most municipalities in Southern Ontario an Ontario Land Surveyor, or a Professional Engineer are required to sign a Site, or Site and Grading Plan.[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_enable_color=&#8221;off&#8221; use_background_color_gradient=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_gradient_stops=&#8221;#041e35 0%|#084275 100%&#8221; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/ibwsurveyors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/corner-dots-left-top-light.png&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; border_width_left=&#8221;10px&#8221; border_color_left=&#8221;gcid-7ce7b00a-a0f7-4559-8af2-0adef5afd391&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-7ce7b00a-a0f7-4559-8af2-0adef5afd391%22:%91%22border_color_left%22%93,%22gcid-0cb77aae-ecd4-4b9d-b870-d98513d21f59%22:%91%22background_color_gradient_stops%22%93}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;359e1cb9-20a1-4b18-994e-1a8b97d2dca0&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;gcid-7ce7b00a-a0f7-4559-8af2-0adef5afd391&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-7ce7b00a-a0f7-4559-8af2-0adef5afd391%22:%91%22text_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Talk to a Surveying Expert<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8221;content&#8221; _module_preset=&#8221;cc39734c-be13-4026-b21d-cb571201696b&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF90aXRsZSIsInNldHRpbmdzIjp7ImJlZm9yZSI6IjxoMj5IYXZlIGEgUXVlc3Rpb24gb24gIiwiYWZ0ZXIiOiJzPzwvaDI+In19@[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;87673f51-b29e-47f9-9001-e762509fed15&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;50%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If you have a\u00a0<span style=\"color: #fcbf00;\">Vision<\/span>, we will help you to turn it into reality<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/ibwsurveyors.com\/contact\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Talk to an Expert&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;239728c8-2325-4497-96e7-f9f7061c5c26&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every municipality and conservation authority has different requirements and obtaining a permit can be a daunting task.
