In accordance with the Subdivision Act  the fees for checking the engineering plans shall be 0.75% of the estimated cost of construction, and will generally be reflected on the planning permit.

Under the same Act, fees for supervising the works shall be 2.5% of the estimated cost of construction, and will generally be reflected on the planning permit.

Development plan checking fee

The fee for checking engineering plans for all other developments will be based upon the size of the development.
