Our customer had an illegal suite that needed to be legalized in their rental property.
A major hurdle was when the permit was pulled for the secondary suite it showed that a prior owner opened an electrical permit and never completed it. The issue being the entire basement was completed illegally and electrical was not checked by an inspector.
Our team of electricians came in and checked every outlet, switch and fixture in the house and detached garage. They found some not-to-code electrical issues and we corrected everything.
After the electrical permit was closed safely, we smoke proofed the furnace room and installed all necessary fire rated doors, hardware, caulking, etc. to complete the secondary suite permit.
Inspection passed in the first go and our customer now has a legal suite they can safely rent out. We submitted documents to our customer for them to get reimbursed by the City of Calgary for the Suite Incentive program as well.
