Documentation

Technical Documentation

Complete permit and construction drawing packages including plans, elevations, schedules, millwork details, and specifications. Working knowledge of applicable BC Building Code and accessibility requirements, BC Housing Design Guidelines & Construction Standards, adaptable housing requirements, and other owner- or project-specific standards.

Tenant Improvement Drawing Packages

Complete tenant improvement permit and construction drawing packages. Drawing scope includes demolition plans, floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, millwork details, finish and hardware schedules. SAGE prepares permit-ready TI packages for commercial projects where a registered architect is not required, including office, retail, medical, dental, non-profit, community housing, and multifamily amenity space renovations. Direct coordination with general contractors through permitting, construction, and project completion.

As-Built Drawing Services

Where no existing drawings are available, SAGE provides as-built documentation — site verification, field measurement, and drawing production across a range of project types including retail, commercial, hospitality, and tenant spaces. An accurate set of existing conditions is the foundation for any renovation, tenant improvement, or design project.
