HVAC Design for Ontario Builders: Permit-Ready Mechanical Packages, Lot After Lot, Without Holding Up Your Schedule

Builders do not need another thing to chase. You need the mechanical package done right, done fast, and updated without drama when the client moves a wall.

We do the HVAC side of the permit for custom builders and small production builders across Ontario: heat loss, design, ventilation summary, energy form help and Schedule 1. Your trades install it.

The duct layout has to match the architectural plans. Every time the plans change, ours change with them.

What You Get

CSA F280 Heat Loss and Gain

Room by room at the design temperature for that lot.

Equipment Sizing

Sized from the load, with the right output at design temperature for heat pumps.

Duct or Radiant Layout

Drawn to match your architectural plans.

Ventilation Summary (RMVDS)

The RMVDS and ventilation design for the permit.

SB-12 Energy Form Support

Values matched to the package you are building to. See SB-12.

Schedule 1

Signed by a BCIN-registered designer.

Built for How Builders Work

Multiple Lots, One Model

Re-runs for orientation and location are faster than new designs. Ask about multi-lot pricing.

Revisions Without Drama

Client moved a wall? Send the revised drawings and the HVAC follows.

Your Trades Install

We design. Your HVAC sub installs. We never sell equipment.

Examiner Comments Handled

If comments come back on our design, we answer them.

Why it matters for you

A clean mechanical package keeps your permit moving, your inspections short, and your warranty file solid when a homeowner says a room is cold.

Where Builder Packages Go Wrong

Template Designs

A design from another lot or town dropped onto this one. Different design temperature, different numbers.

Supply-House Freebies

Free designs that nobody stands behind when the house will not heat.

Plans That Moved

Architectural revisions that the HVAC drawings never caught up with.

Equipment Swaps on Site

The furnace installed is not the one on the permit. See changes after the permit.

Builder Questions
Can you design several lots with the same model?

Yes. The same model on different lots still needs a design for each lot, because orientation and sometimes the design temperature change. Re-running a model we already have is faster than starting fresh. Ask about pricing for multiple lots.

What happens when the architectural drawings change?

The duct layout has to match the architectural plans, so changes mean updates. Send us the revised drawings and we update the HVAC to match.

Do you work with our HVAC sub?

Yes. We design, your sub installs. We never sell or install equipment, so we are not competing with your trades.

What do you deliver for a new home permit?

The CSA F280 heat loss and gain, equipment sizing, duct or radiant layout, the ventilation summary (RMVDS), help with the SB-12 energy form, and Schedule 1, signed by a BCIN designer.

How fast?

Most packages within 48 hours of payment once we have the drawings. For a series of lots, we can plan around your permit schedule.

Do you know ICF and high-performance builds?

Yes. Our roots are in ICF building, and high-performance houses are exactly where default values give the wrong answer. See ICF heat loss.
