Burnaby is one of the strictest municipalities in BC for engineer-seal requirements. An engineer seal is required on all Category 2 and 3 plans, not just Category 3, and not just at the reviewer's discretion. If your project in Burnaby is Category 2 or higher, the plan must have a P.Eng seal before the permit office will accept it. BPB includes P.Eng coordination in the quote for all Burnaby Category 2 and 3 plans.
Arterial corridors have peak-hour restrictions. Multi-phase projects require a phasing plan review alongside the TCP. We account for both in the plan preparation and flag any additional requirements during the quote.
