在[上篇文章](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/reasons-you-need-a-project-manager-during-commercial-constructions-and-renovation)中匠垣提到，在项目前期，如果有PM（Project Manager），也就是项目监理负责跟进项目，不仅能为您提供正确的项目评估细节，更能与各方需要联动的部门协调合作，在节省时间的同时规避不必要的麻烦与风险。在接下来的文章中，匠垣建设将为各位介绍在施工中期和后期时项目监理所发挥的作用。

## 施工中期
一个正规的装修公司会为每个接下的项目配备专门的项目监理负责跟进项目，他们具备专业的施工相关知识、丰富的建筑装修行业经验，以及扎实的协调能力，因为他们不仅需要有效且合理的安排工期、协调各个施工或装修团队入场的时间，更需要把控好整个项目的进程和成本的花销。尤其是对施工质量进行严格把控——包括在施工过程中严格核对图纸，以确保制作出来的尺寸、使用的材料与设计相同，以避免最后验收时需要大量返工等等。

![项目经理的重要性](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_27d4777bc1.jpg)

项目监理同时也作为上对业主，下对政府部门、物业管理公司、施工团队等沟通的纽带，以确保施工的每个环节做到透明化。完整了解业主的诉求，再结合行业的相关知识与多方协调，让业主不仅可以实时了解施工进行的状态，一旦有任何情况也可以及时和客人沟通。


## 施工后期
我们在[《建筑许可证Building Permit》](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits)的文章中提到过，一个项目可能会需要申请好几个不同的许可证（Permit），这也就意味着项目完工、完全结束之前要通过这些Permit部门的检查——这也是为什么需要申请Permit的项目花费时间会更长的原因之一。

在施工完成后，需要通过所有Permit的相关检查，并且得到最后工程师的Sign Off Letter后才算是正式完成，然而有时也可能会遇到负责项目的Inspector休假或者被要求进行项目修改。项目监理在项目过相关检查时也起到至关重要的作用，除去在施工期间定期验收施工质量，保证项目不会出问题之外，后期也需要负责跟Inspector沟通，以确保项目能完整、正式结束。

![项目经理的重要性 ](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/5_94882a0b28.jpg)

正式完工后，项目监理会跟业主进行交接，包括开关控制的位置，电箱位置以及控制等技术交底，还有如何进行后续保养等。并且施工团队还会提供为期一年的保修服务，可以让业主感受到真正的省心、省力、省时。

俗话说：「时间就是金钱」，对于做生意的各位业主来说，更是如此。若能将时间留给自己的事业，让专业又可靠的团队负责这些商业装修时一定会遇到的对接、审批、监督等流程，对于业主自己来说也是事半功倍。

![Reasons you need a project manager during commercial constructions and renovation ](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Reasons_you_need_a_project_manager_during_commercial_constructions_and_renovation_II_ff514424aa.png)

As mentioned in the [previous article](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/reasons-you-need-a-project-manager-during-commercial-constructions-and-renovation), having a PM (Project Manager) to follow up the project in the early stage of the project will not only provide you with the accurate project evaluation details, but also coordinate with all the departments that need to work together, which will save time and avoid unnecessary troubles and risks. In the following article, we will introduce the role of the Project Manager during the mid and final stages of construction.

## During Construction
A proper renovation company will have a project manager for each project, who has professional construction related knowledge, rich experience in construction and renovation industry, and solid coordination ability. 

The project manager not only needs to arrange the work schedule in a effective and reasonable way, and coordinate the timings of the different construction or decoration teams, but also needs to control the process and cost of the whole project. In particular, they need to strictly control the construction quality - including checking the construction result to ensure that the dimensions and materials used are the same as the design, so as to avoid a lot of reworks during the final acceptance, etc.

![项目经理的重要性](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_27d4777bc1.jpg)

The project manager also acts as a bridge of communication with the owner, government departments, property management companies and construction teams to ensure transparency in every aspect of construction. Complete understanding of the owner's demands, combined with industry knowledge and coordination, so that owners can not only understand the status of construction in real time, but also communicate with guests in a timely manner if there is any situation.


## Post Construction
As we mentioned in our [Building Permit](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits) article, a project may require several building permits for different purposes. This means that the project will have to be inspected by the departments who issued the permits before it is fully finished - which is also why projects require applying permits will take longer to close.

After construction is complete, the project is not officially completed until all Permit inspections are completed and a Sign Off Letter is received from the engineers. However, sometimes there are possibilities that the inspector in charge of the project may be on vacation, or may be asked to make changes to the project – these all may cause delay to the project.

The project manager also plays a vital role during the project inspection, in addition to regularly inspecting the quality of construction during the construction period to ensure that the project will not go wrong, he or she is also responsible for communicating with the inspector during the post construction stage to ensure that the project is formally completed.

![项目经理的重要性 ](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/5_94882a0b28.jpg)

After the formal completion of the project, the project manager will hand over to the owner, including the location of switches and controls, the location of electrical boxes and controls, and other technical handover, as well as how to carry out follow-up maintenance. The construction team will also provide a one-year warranty service, which brings owners the real attentive services.

As the saying goes, "time is money", and this is especially true for business owners. If you can leave your time for your own specialty and let a professional and reliable team to take care of all these commercial renovation processes, you will get twice the result with half the effort for the owners themselves.

With a wealth of experience in [commercial renovation and construction](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/gallery), JY Construction has helped many bubble tea stores, restaurants, board game stores and companies in Toronto with custom design and renovation.

建筑装修中，项目监理的重要性（下）

![建筑装修中，项目监理的重要性](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/_f206134ca6.png)



要想让一次建筑装修既设计的合理又合心意，又能获得符合、甚至高于预期的施工成果，有一个专业的PM（Project Manager）项目监理跟进整个项目是至关重要的。一个负责任且专业的项目监理不仅能帮客户跟进整个项目、落实图纸上的设计，更能在施工执行前确认是否有不符合规定的部分，以避免动工后又得拆除重建。

在接下来的文章中，[匠垣建设](https://jyconstruction.ca/)会为各位介绍在整个装修过程中，项目监理的必不可少性。无论是在多伦多，或是加拿大其他地方，最好要有一位项目监理来为需要进行店铺装修、办公室装修、或民宅翻新的业主们从头把关整个装修过程。

![建筑装修项目监理, Construction Project Manager](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/PM_1_5bd9917d4b.jpg)


## 项目前期
**1. 提供尽量准确的价格预估**

每位业主铁定都希望可以知道尽可能准确的资讯，无论是预算、工作量、或完工期。然而在[建筑许可证 Building Permit](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits)下来之前，由于被审批的施工图纸很有可能会被政府部门要求进行修改，因此施工团队只能按现场所设计出来的室内设计图纸预估一个大概的费用。而一个有经验且专业的项目监理不仅能尽量减小图纸被要求返工的可能，更能尽量估算出与实际相近的预估费用，让业主更能把握实际情况。

**2. 成为整个装修项目的沟通纽带**

项目监理会负责把控整个项目的质量和进度，这时候就需要靠和装修团队的配合与和外部的沟通。

一个可靠的装修团队是商业装修中必不可少的一个环节——好的装修团队不仅要富有经验来保证施工的质量外，并且需要都是有资质的团队，这样在后期验收成果时才能降低因为质量问题而要求返工的风险。例如500万的商业保险和WSIB（Workplace Safety and Insurance Board）都应该是团队的标配，装修团队都会在项目开始之前把即将进行的项目地址加到他们商业保险里，可以为任何的突发情况进行双保险。

况且，各个行业各有特色，不同种类的行业对于装修的要求也都不一样——例如以unit类型来分的话，可以分为毛坯房装修、改造、plaza、high-rise building、mall等等；或是以生意类型来划分，则可以分为酒店、餐馆、办公室、医美诊所等。一个靠谱的项目监理将能帮助业主找到有经验的装修团队合作，帮助您有效且及时的避开麻烦。 


![建筑装修项目监理，Construction Project Manager](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/PM_2_b881a1cc60.jpg)


一次商装项目的进行，除了与内部的设计团队、施工团队沟通外，同时还需要与相关的政府部门、管理单位等进行协调与沟通。例如大部分的Plaza和High-rise building（办公楼或Condo公寓）都会有管理公司负责处理每家每户与建筑相关的问题（如水电、装修等），因此不仅施工前需要与管理公司确认施工图纸中的内容是否可以执行、是否需要特别聘用管理公司指定的外包施工团队，在进行办公室或民宅的装修时的每一步骤也都需要获得管理公司的许可，才可进行。

项目前期的准备工作是很繁琐的，需要花费大量的时间和精力，一旦在某个环节出现意外则整个项目都会停滞，为业主带来极大的不便。因此，拥有专业的项目监理和装修团队可以帮您省去许多烦恼。

匠垣建设也配有[集设计、施工一体化的专业团队](https://jyconstruction.ca/team)，部门之间紧密配合，为多伦多的业主们定制最合适、最专业、最系统的装修方案，让各位也更省心、更放心。

![Reasons you need a project manager during commercial constructions and renovation](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Reasons_you_need_a_project_manage_1_a414a635cc.png)


To ensure that an architectural renovation is both properly designed and pleasing to the mind, yet meets or exceeds expectations, it is critical to have a professional PM (Project Manager) to follow and manage the entire project. A responsible and professional Project Manager can not only help the client to follow the whole project and implement the design on the plan, but also check if there are any non-conforming parts before the construction is executed, so that the construction will not have to be demolished and rebuilt afterwards.

In the article below, we will explain the importance of a project manager throughout the renovation process. Whether in Toronto or elsewhere in Canada, it is a good idea to have a project manager to oversee the entire renovation process from start to finish for owners of a store, office, or home renovation.

![建筑装修项目监理, Construction Project Manager](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/PM_1_5bd9917d4b.jpg)

## Pre-Project

**1. Provide as accurate a price estimate as possible**

Every homeowner wants to know the most accurate information possible, whether it's a budget, workload, or completion date. However, before [the Building Permit is issued](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits), the construction team can only estimate an approximate cost based on the interior design drawings that will be created on site, as the approved construction drawings are likely to be revised by the government. An experienced and professional project manager can not only minimize the possibility of reworking the plans, but can also estimate the actual cost as close as possible, giving the owner a better grasp of the actual situation.

**2. Be the communication link for the whole renovation project**

The project manager will be in charge of controlling the quality and progress of the entire project, which will require cooperation with the renovation team and external communication.

A reliable renovation team is an essence of commercial renovation - a good renovation team is not only experienced to ensure the quality of construction, but also needs to be a qualified team so that the risk of reworking due to quality issues can be reduced. For example, a $5 million commercial insurance policy and WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) should be standard for the team. The renovation team will add the address of the upcoming project to their business insurance before the project starts, which can double insure against any unexpected situations.

Moreover, each industry has its own characteristics, and different types of industries have different requirements for renovation - for example, if you divide by type of unit, it can be divided into rough house renovation, remodeling, plaza, high-rise building, mall, etc.; or if you take the type of business, it can be divided into hotel, restaurant, office, medical clinic, and more. A reliable project supervisor will help the owner find an experienced renovation team to work with and help you avoid trouble in an effective and timely manner.


![建筑装修项目监理，Construction Project Manager](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/PM_2_b881a1cc60.jpg)


In addition to communicating with the in-house design and construction teams, a commercial renovation project also requires coordination and communication with relevant government departments and management agencies. For example, most Plaza and High-rise buildings (office buildings or condominiums) have a management company that handles building-related issues (such as plumbing, electrical, and renovation) for each unit, so it is not only necessary to confirm with the management company whether the construction drawings can be executed before proceeding with the project, but also whether it is necessary to hire an outsourced construction team appointed by the management agency. Not only do you need to confirm with the management company whether the construction plans can be executed and whether you need to hire an outsourced construction team, but you also need to obtain the management agency's permission for each step of the office or residential renovation.

The pre-project preparation is tedious and requires a lot of time and effort, and if something goes wrong at any point, the whole project will come to a halt, causing great inconvenience to the owner. Therefore, having a professional project manager and renovation team can save you a lot of trouble.

[We also have a professional team](https://jyconstruction.ca/team) with integrated design and construction, which works closely with each other to provide the most suitable, professional and systematic renovation plan for the owners in Toronto, so that you can feel more comfortable and relieved.

无论哪种规模的建筑施工，安全永远是最重要的。在上一篇当中我们讲述了[多伦多建筑施工的5个细节](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/8-details-you-do-not-want-to-miss-while-doing-construction-in-Toronto-1)，接下来，让我们再来了解一下施工保护和安全准则，以及在架空电力线附近工作所存在的危险，让您有效规避风险，顺利完成施工！

## 项目通知
在建筑项目开始工作之前，建筑方（健康和安全立法中的施工方）可能需要向劳工部提交[项目通知（NOP）](https://www.enop.labour.gov.on.ca/ENOPWeb/Welcome)。您可以在安大略省政府的[工具](https://www.ontario.ca/page/workplace-health-and-safety)和[信息](https://www.ontario.ca/page/your-rights-when-starting-home-renovations-or-repairs)在新窗口中了解情况。您可能被要求作为业主填写项目通知。这里有一些您应该[首先知道的事情](https://www.ontario.ca/page/constructor-guideline)。

## 施工保护和安全准则
![在多伦多进行建筑施工不能错过的8个细节：施工保护和安全准则](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/_a248f1c72f.png)

您的施工现场必须为隔壁的业主们和工人维持安全环境，还必须有适当的围栏。如果不能提供一个受保护的施工现场，可能会对他人及自己造成伤害，并可能在许多方面给您带来更大的损失。

市政法规，如物业标准（Property Standards）和物业维护法规（Property Maintenance bylaws），都会对您工地的许多方面进行规范。不遵守这些细则可能会导致罚款，甚至可能导致您的项目被关闭。

以下是一份基本的施工现场检查表，供您参考：
- 不要损害现有的公共服务设施，如水、电、燃气等。在开始挖掘之前，请联系当地的公用事业部门，确定地下服务的位置
- 保护您隔壁业主的店铺、树木和植物。确保施工作业和卡车远离您隔壁业主店面的范围。
- 在树木和灌木周围设置保护性的木板或栅栏
- 用保护性围栏围住您的施工现场，以限制进出（Toronto Municipal Code – Construction Fence Bylaw – Chapter 363）
- 如果您在架空电线附近施工，您必须致电多伦多水电局（Toronto Hydro），了解更多关于将电线断电、重新安置/拆除或将电线覆盖的信息
- 将移动厕所放在远离隔壁业主家的地方，并放在视线之外
- 不要将垃圾桶和杂物乱扔到隔壁业主的店铺周围
- 尊重您的隔壁业主的停车需求。不要将任何建筑车辆停在您的前院草坪上，也不要堵塞隔壁业主的车道
- 禁止焚烧建筑垃圾
- 不要让任何有潜在危险的建筑材料、设备或车辆在工地上无人看管
- 坚持让您的工人穿戴和使用适当的安全设备，如批准的安全帽和防护工作靴

## 在架空电力线附近工作
![在多伦多进行建筑施工不能错过的8个细节：在架空电力线附近工作](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/_6179aa606c.jpg)

接触带电的电线会造成严重的伤害，甚至在某些情况下会造成死亡。遵循安全标准将能保护每个人的权益。

不仅如此，这也是安大略省职业健康和安全法（Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act）所规定的法律。施工人员有责任确保工作现场的每个人都遵守带电线路的安全限制；否则，您的工作场所可能被关闭。如果发生伤害，您甚至可能被追究责任，无论您是业主还是承包商。

关于在电线附近工作的更多信息，也可访问多伦多水电公司的网站了解详情：[多伦多水电公司电气安全](https://www.torontohydro.com/)。

相信各位现在已经大致了解在多伦多进行店铺、餐厅、或民宅施工时需要注意的细节，与可以避免的风险。匠垣建设经验丰富的施工团队与项目人员也一直遵循着这些能保护业主与工人们的安全准则，以确保在施工期间，无论是业主、邻里、或工人都能放心。若您有任何疑问或装修需求，也欢迎填写网站上的表格[联系匠垣建设](https://jyconstruction.ca/contact)。祝您顺利完成项目！


![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/dont_miss_8_details_while_doing_construction_in_toronto_02_en_6932baf1f4.jpg)

Regardless of the scale of construction, safety is always paramount.

In the previous article, we talked about [5 details of building construction in Toronto](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/8-details-you-do-not-want-to-miss-while-doing-construction-in-Toronto-I), and then we'll go over construction protection and safety guidelines and the risks of working near overhead power lines, so you can effectively avoid the risks and complete your construction successfully!

## Notice of Project
Before work can begin on a construction project, the building (Constructor in Health and Safety legislation) may need to file a [Notice of Project (NOP)](https://www.enop.labour.gov.on.ca/ENOPWeb/Welcome) with the Ministry of Labour. You can learn about this in the Government of Ontario [tools](https://www.ontario.ca/page/workplace-health-and-safety) and [information](https://www.ontario.ca/page/your-rights-when-starting-home-renovations-or-repairs). You may be asked to complete the Notice of Project as the property owner. Here are [some things you should know first](https://www.ontario.ca/page/constructor-guideline).

## Construction Protection & Safety Guidelines
![在多伦多进行建筑施工不能错过的8个细节：施工保护和安全准则](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/_a248f1c72f.png)

Your construction site must maintain a safe environment for neighbours and workers, and must also be properly fenced. Failure to provide a protected construction site can cause harm to others and yourself and can be very costly to you in many ways.

City bylaws, such as the Property Standards and Property Maintenance bylaws regulate many aspects of your site. Noncompliance with these bylaws can result in fines and possibly closing down your project.

Here is a basic construction site checklist to follow:
- Do not harm existing neighbourhood services. Contact your local utility department to determine the location of underground services before beginning excavation.
- Protect your neighbours' homes, trees and plants. Make sure construction operations and trucks are kept away from your neighbour's house.
- Install protective boards or fencing around trees and shrubs.
- Enclose your construction site with protective fencing to restrict access (Toronto Municipal Code – Construction Fence Bylaw – Chapter 363).
- If you are working near overhead power lines, you must call Toronto Hydro for more information on disconnecting, relocating/removing or covering the lines.
- Place portable toilets away from neighbours' homes and out of sight.
- Don't litter trash cans and debris around your neighbours' houses.
- Respect your neighbours' parking needs. Do not park any construction vehicles on your front lawn or block your neighbour's driveway.
- Do not allow construction debris to be burned.
- Do not leave any potentially hazardous construction materials, equipment or vehicles unattended on the site.
- Insist that your workers wear and use proper safety equipment, such as approved hard hats and protective work boots.

## Work Near Overhead Power Lines
![在多伦多进行建筑施工不能错过的8个细节：在架空电力线附近工作](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/_6179aa606c.jpg)

Having physical contact with live power lines can cause serious injuries and, in some cases, death. Following safety standards will protect everyone.

But more than that, it's also the law under Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act. It is the responsibility of the construction worker to ensure that everyone on the job site is following the safety limits for live electrical lines. Failure to do so could result in your workplace being shut down. If an injury occurs, you may be held liable, whether you are the owner or the contractor.

For more information about working near power lines, visit Toronto Hydro's website: [Toronto Hydro Electrical Safety](https://www.torontohydro.com/).

Now you have a general understanding of what to look for and what risks to avoid when renovating a store, restaurant, or residential property in Toronto.

Our experienced construction team and project staff have been following these safety guidelines to protect the homeowners’, neighbours’, and workers’ safety during construction.

俗话说行要好伴，居要好邻。无论是做生意或在生活中，和邻居们保持良好的关系可以避免掉许多问题。上一篇文章中，匠垣建设为各位介绍了无论是进行商业装修或住宅装修之前，都一定要申请到的[建筑许可证（Building Permit）](https://jyconstruction.ca/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits)，而接下来，匠垣将会和各位介绍一些在装修期间可以多注意的细节，让您就算在施工期间也能与邻居保持良好的关系！

 

## 成为携手共进的“好邻居”
翻新和装修您的房屋可以为您社区的健康、活力和价值作出贡献。然而，如果一个建筑项目没有得到适当的规划和管理，您可能会对您的邻居造成有害的影响。这些装修例如：
- 建造一个露台、阳台或车库
- 翻新办公室、商店或建筑物
- 为门窗开新口或改变其尺寸
- 建造一座新的建筑物
- 拆毁或拆除全部或部分建筑物

无论您是业主还是建筑专业人士，确保您的建筑项目对您自己和您的邻居不会产生不好的影响是很重要的。

![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/1_1_01_3ecf25e2e3.png)

作为业主，您要对您土地上的任何建筑项目负最终责任；作为一个建筑专业人士，您可以尽量减少不必要的干扰，并通过对附近居民的体贴，为您的业务建立一个积极的形象。作为好邻居一起工作，您可以成功和安全地运行一个项目。

 

## 与邻居进行沟通
![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_01_5462893d02.png)

很重要的一点是，您必须让邻居随时了解您的建筑计划。您可以在建筑项目开始工作之前：
- 通过写信或亲自拜访，告诉您的邻居们您的计划是什么。
- 告诉他们施工将需要多长时间。
- 如果他们对该项目有疑虑或有紧急情况，可以向他们提供联系您的方法。
- 将您的建筑许可证张贴在施工场所的一个显眼的地方。

当邻居们充分了解您的项目，他们往往会更加理解和支持您。

 

## 场地清理
![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_01_52cf711288.png)

您应该及时清理建筑垃圾，使工地不至于成为健康和安全的隐患，看起来也不会那么凌乱。

清除流到城市街道和人行道的泥浆。如果泥浆清除是一个严重的问题，卡车应该在离开工地前被冲洗干净。您应该立即冲刷和/或清扫任何有大量泥浆堆积的道路。

如果不能保持工地上建筑垃圾的清洁，则可能会受到城市细则规定的罚单罚款。

 

## 垃圾箱、建筑垃圾箱和围板
在开始拆除、翻修或建筑项目之前，如果您使用的区域超出了您的施工范围（人行道、道路或公共车道），您将需要获得街道占用许可证。

请致电311或发送电子邮件至 311@toronto.ca，以获得联系当地许可证办公室的信息。

 

## 噪声控制
噪音法规The Noise Bylaw（多伦多市法规第591章）只允许在周一至周五上午7:00至下午7:00，周六上午9:00至下午7:00操作建筑设备，周日和法定假日不允许有建筑噪音（修订法规505-2006）。

即使在允许施工的期间，出于对邻居的考虑，也应尽可能地减少噪音水平。这是成为好邻居的一个重要部分。

这些看似是很小的细节，但若能为邻居和社区多想一些，不仅能维持彼此的关系，还能避免不必要的麻烦。[匠垣建设](https://jyconstruction.ca/)专业的施工团队也会运用常年累积的丰富经验，协助各位顺利度过店铺或房屋的施工期。下一篇文章，匠垣将为各位介绍剩下的3点房屋或店铺装修或翻新时应该注意的细节。

![8 Details You Don‘t Want to Miss While Doing Construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/dont_miss_8_details_while_doing_construction_in_toronto_01_en_d961692c1a.jpg)

Whether in business or in life, a good relationship with your neighbours can avoid many problems. However, it is not a quick process if you renovate your home or store and may even cause inconvenience to your neighbours. 

In our last article, we introduced the [Building Permit](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/all-you-need-to-know-about-ontario-building-permits) that you must apply for before you start renovating your store, restaurant, or your home. 

In this post, JY Construction will introduce some details that you can pay more attention to during the renovation to maintain a good relationship with your neighbours even during the construction period!

 

## Working together as “Good Neighbours”
Renovating and refurbishing your home can contribute to the health, vitality and value of your community. However, if a building project is not properly planned and managed, it can have a detrimental impact on your neighbours.

Whether you are a property owner or a construction professional, you want to make sure that your building project does not have a bad impact on yourself and your neighbours.

![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/1_1_01_3ecf25e2e3.png)

As a property owner, you are ultimately responsible for any construction project on your land. As a construction professional, you can limit unnecessary disruptions and create a positive image for your business by being considerate of the neighbourhood. Working together as good neighbours, you can run a project successfully and safely.

Some examples of construction:
- Building a terrace, balcony or garage
- Renovating an office, store or building
- Making new openings or changing the size of windows and doors
- Constructing a new building
- Demolishing or removing all or part of a building

 

## Communicate with neighbours
![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_01_5462893d02.png)

It is important that you keep your neighbours informed of your building plans. Before you begin work on your building project, you should:
- Tell your neighbours what your plans are by writing a letter or visiting them in person.
- Tell them how long construction will take.
- Provide them with a way to contact you if they have concerns about the project or if there is an emergency.
- Post your building permit in a conspicuous place in your house.

When neighbous are well informed about your project, they tend to be more understanding and supportive.

 

## Site Clean Up
![8 details you don‘t want to miss while doing construction in Toronto](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_01_52cf711288.png)

You should collect and remove waste on a regular basis. Prompt clean up of garbage and construction waste keeps the site from becoming a health and safety hazard and an eyesore.

Remove any mud that flows onto city streets and sidewalks. If mud removal is a serious concern, trucks should be hosed down before leaving the site. You should immediately flush and/or sweep any roads that have large mud buildup.

Failure to keep your site clean of construction debris may result in fines under City Bylaws.

 

## Dumpsters, Construction Bins & Hoardings
Before beginning a demolition, renovation or construction project, you will need to obtain a Street Occupation Permit if you are using an area beyond your construction limits (sidewalk, roadway or public driveway).

Please call 311 or email 311@toronto.ca for information on contacting your local permit office.

 

## Noise Control
The Noise Bylaw (Chapter 591, City of Toronto Municipal Code) permits only allow the operation of construction equipment from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, with no construction noise allowed on Sundays and legal holidays (amending bylaw 505-2006).

Even during periods when construction is allowed, noise levels should be reduced as much as possible out of consideration for neighbours. This is an important part of being a good neighbour.

Although these may seem like small details, you can not only maintain the relationship with each other, but also avoid unnecessary troubles by thinking more for your neighbours and community.

Our professional construction team at [JY Construction](https://jyconstruction.ca/en) can also help you get through the construction period of your store, restaurant, or house with their years of experience.

In the next article, JY Construction will introduce the remaining 3 details that you should pay attention to when renovating or refurbishing your house or store.

俗话说行要好伴，居要好邻。无论是做生意或在生活中，和邻居们保持良好的关系可以避免掉许多问题。匠垣将会和各位介绍一些在装修期间可以多注意的细节，让您就算在施工期间也能与邻居保持良好的关系！

Whether in business or in life, a good relationship with your neighbours can avoid many problems. JY Construction will introduce some details that you can pay more attention to during the renovation to maintain a good relationship with your neighbours even during the construction period!

8 Details You Don‘t Want to Miss While Doing Construction in Toronto (I)

![2022-04-22-JYC-Blog-Image.png](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2022_04_22_JYC_Blog_Image_3470a166cb.png)

上一篇文章中，匠垣向各位介绍了在安省进行装修行为时一定要申请的建筑许可证（Building Permit）。今天我们将和各位介绍在施工期间，政府部门将会如何检查您的施工场所，以及为进行其他非装修行为需要提前申请的许可证。
 
### 建筑检查
《建筑法（Building Code）》规定了不同类型建筑必须接受强制检查的施工阶段。当项目处于《建筑法》规定的施工阶段时，许可证持有人有责任联系市政府进行检查。

市政府建筑官员需要在接到通知后两个工作日内进行检查。对于污水系统的建设，检查员有五个工作日的时间进行检查。在检查期间，检查员将检查工作是否按照《建筑法》、您的许可证和批准的计划进行。

您也将被要求：
1. 在窗口或其他容易看到的地方展示您的许可证
2. 在工地上保留图纸的副本
3. 告诉市政府有关拟议建筑的任何变化，这些变化也必须得到市政府的批准。

检查员必须始终能够看到您的工程。如果它与被批准的工作不同，除非您得到修改计划的许可，否则您会被告知立即做出纠正。如果您不这样做，市政府可以采取强制措施，例如发布1992年《建筑法》授权的命令。

![Picture1.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Picture1_cbe03c751e.jpg)

### 拆迁许可证
在你拆除全部或部分建筑物之前，你必须向市政府申请拆迁许可证。其程序与建筑许可证基本相同，但有一些特殊情况可能会影响你的申请：例如，在拆迁控制区，在收到市议会颁发的拆迁许可证之前，你不能拆迁住宅房产。

你可能需要市政府或安大略省遗产信托基金提供单独的遗产批准，包括拆除位于该房产上的建筑或结构的遗产批准，如果你的房产是： 
- 根据《安省遗产法》指定
- 位于遗产保护区内，或
- 受制于遗产保护地役权（一种保护遗产元素的法律协议，适用于任何拥有该土地的人）

如果你的房产没有被指定，但被列入市政遗产登记册，安大略省遗产法要求房产所有者
提前60天向市政委员会发起通知，说明他们打算拆毁或拆除位于该房产上的建筑或结构。

### 如何改变建筑物的用途
如果您想改变建筑物的全部或部分使用方式，您可能需要一个改变用途的许可证，即使您不打算进行任何建设上的改动。可能需要进行建筑评估，以确保现有建筑能够安全地容纳拟议的用途。

不同的用途有不同的建筑法规要求。请致电您的市政建筑部门，了解您是否需要改变用途的许可。

![2.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_99fe27833e.jpg)

### 违反1992年《建筑规范法》的后果
根据1992年《建筑法规法》，被指控并被认定有罪的个人，如无证建筑，初犯可被处以最高$5万的罚款，后犯可被处以最高$10万的罚款。对于公司而言，初犯可被处以最高$50万的罚款，后续违规行为可被处以$150万的罚款。

根据1992年《建筑法》，不遵守市政建筑部门的命令也是一种犯罪。

### 可能需要的其他批准
除了建筑项目所需的规划审批和建筑许可外，在特殊情况下还可能需要其他许可和审批，例如，安大略省遗产法、保护局和交通部的审批。这些批准被视为适用法律。一般来说，在发放建筑许可证之前，必须遵守《建筑法》中规定的适用法律。

相信现在各位也了解到，若想改动住宅和店面，除了装修本身还有其他许多的流程需要进行。这些复杂的流程除了自行准备外，也可以联系匠垣建设专业的工程团队了解更多关于准备和递交Building Permit的申请。

匠垣建设，秉承着“源于执着，匠心为本；专在设计，胜在品质”的理念，将用我们的专业态度和实战经验，为每一位业主量身定制最适合、最专业、最系统的装修方案。我们诚挚的邀请您通过电话或者微信的方式咨询我们，我们期待与您相遇！


![2022-04-22-JYC-Blog-Image.png](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2022_04_22_JYC_Blog_Image_c4a05f6565.png)

### Construction Inspections
The Building Code defines the stages of construction in which different types of buildings must be subject to mandatory inspections. When a project is in the construction phase as defined by the Building Code, it is the responsibility of the permit holder to contact the municipal government for an inspection.

The municipal building official is required to conduct the inspection within two business days upon notification. For the construction of a sewer system, the inspector has five business days to conduct the inspection. During the inspection, the inspector will check to ensure that the work is being done in accordance with the Building Code, your permit and approved plans.

You will also be required to:
- Display your permit at a window or other visible places.
- Keep a copy of the plans on the site.
- Tell the municipal officials about any changes to the proposed building, which must also be approved by the municipality.

Inspectors must always be able to see your work. If it differs from the approved work, you will be told to make immediate corrections unless you get permission to amend the plans. If you fail to do so, the municipal government can take enforcement action, such as issuing an order authorized by the Building Code Act, 1992.

![Picture1.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Picture1_cbe03c751e.jpg)

### Demolition Permits
Before you can demolish all or part of a building, you must apply for a demolition permit. The procedure is essentially the same as for a building permit, but there are some special circumstances that may affect your application, such as, in a demolition control zone, you cannot demolish residential property until you have received a demolition permit from the municipal council.

You may need a separate estate approval from the municipality or Ontario Heritage Trust, including an estate approval to demolish the building or structure located on the property, if your property is:
- Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act,
- Located in a heritage conservation district, or
- Subject to a heritage conservation easement (a legal agreement to protect heritage elements that applies to anyone who owns the land).

If your property is not designated, but is listed on the Municipal Heritage Register, the Ontario Heritage Act requires the property owner to initiate a notice to the municipal council 60 days in advance stating their intention to demolish or remove the building or structure located on the property.

### How to Change the Use of the Building
If you want to change the usage of your building, you may need a different permit, even if you do not intend to make any construction changes. A building assessment may be required to ensure that the existing building can safely accommodate the proposed use.

Different uses have different Building Code requirements. You should contact your municipal building department to find out whether you will need a change of use permit before advancing with constructions.
 
![2.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_99fe27833e.jpg)

### Consequences for Violating the Building Code Act, 1992
An individual who is charged and found guilty of an offence under the Building Code Act, 1992, such as building without a permit, can be fined up to $50,000 for a first offence and up to $100,000 for subsequent offences. For a corporation, a first-time offence could result in a maximum fine of $500,000 and $1,500,000 for subsequent infractions.

Failure to comply with an order from the municipal building department is also an offence under the Building Code Act, 1992.

### Other Approvals that May Be Required
In addition to the planning approvals and building permits required for building projects, other permits and approvals may be required in special circumstances, for example, the Ontario Heritage Act, the Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Transportation. These approvals are considered applicable laws, which are under the Building Code and must be complied with before a building permit can be issued.

As you can tell, there are so much more that go into renovation and making modifications to your home. From building permits and demolition permits to other legislations and approvals, it can be a very long and tiring process. Don’t worry! Our knowledgeable and experienced architects can help with that!

At JY Construction, we’re committed to create spaces that are functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing while meeting the specific needs of the client. Feel free to contact us for consultation and we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you!

在安大略省进行装修的必经之路——建筑检查与其它许可证

All You Need To Know - Ontario Building Inspection and Other Permits

![在安大略省进行装修的必备文件建筑许可证](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Artboard_2_bd59216aa6.png)


无论是房主或店主，若需要对自己的住宅或店铺进行较大的变动时，都需要提前向政府申请“建筑许可证”。然而向政府申请文件一向严格且繁琐，若被驳回申请又怕工期延后。今天，就让匠垣建设向各位介绍建筑许可证是什么，和如何申请。

建筑许可证（Building Permit）是安大略省各地区建筑法规机构签发的文件。当您想建造、翻新、拆除或改变建筑物的用途时，就需要建筑许可证。


### 为什么您需要获得建筑许可证

建筑许可证让市政府能够保护个人和整个社区的利益。通过在施工前审查和批准建筑许可申请，市政府可以确保建筑物符合以下规定：
- 建筑法规（Building Code）——该法规为建筑物的设计和建造制定了标准，以满足健康、安全、防火、无障碍和资源保护等目标的要求。
- 当地的分区法和其他建筑物的规划控制。
- 其他适用的法律，包括保护机构的批准和环境保护法（Environmental Protection Act）的某些要求。

![Toronto construction.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Toronto_construction_fbb46f5774.jpg)

### 哪些情况需要获得建筑许可证
1. 建造任何面积超过10平方米的新建筑，或在您的房产上放置其他建筑，如移动房屋。
2. 对建筑物进行翻新、维修或加建。
3. 改变建筑物的用途。
4. 挖掘或建造地基。
5. 建造一个季节性建筑。
6. 从事有关安装、改建、扩建或维修现场污水处理系统等工作。


### 申请建筑许可证三步骤
1. 可以在提交申请前与该城市的相关部门人员咨询。他们可以更准确地告诉您，您的申请都需要包括哪些信息、图纸和计划，以及您是否需要任何其他许可或批准。
2. 确认要提交申请的图纸、计划和其他文件都准备齐全，同时您有可能需要支付一定的费用。
3. 在您申请城市的市政府或市政事务和住房部（Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing）的网站上提交申请。请注意，建筑许可证申请是提交给**市政府**的，而不是提交给省政府的。

### 申请审查过程
提交申请后，您所在城市的工作人员将会确认拟议的工作符合建筑法（Building Code）和其中规定的其他适用法律，例如当地的分区细则。他们可能会将您的申请发送给其他地方/市镇官员征求意见。

简单的改建或加建申请可以得到相当快的处理，但更复杂的可能需要更长时间。《建筑法》规定，如果申请符合标准，市政当局应在一定的时间范围内审查完整的许可申请。

例如，房屋许可申请的时间范围是10天。对于更复杂的建筑，如医院，时间范围为30天。在这个时间范围内，市政府必须颁发许可证，或拒绝颁发许可证，并说明拒绝的理由。

为了获得许可证，拟议的建筑必须符合《建筑法》和其中规定的适用法律。如果您需要改变分区或对分区进行小幅调整（市政分区被认为是适用法律），或者拟议的建筑不符合《建筑法》，那么在获得分区改变或小幅调整，或者拟议的建筑符合《建筑法》之前，不会发放许可证。

如果您的房产属于场地规划控制附则的范围，在计划和图纸得到市政府批准之前，您可能无法获得建筑许可证。有关分区、小规模变通和场地规划控制的更多信息，可以阅读分区附则3（Zoning Bylaw No. 3）。

![building permit.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/building_permit_02279179e0.jpg)

### 如果申请被拒绝，您应该这么做！
如果市政府拒绝了您的建筑许可申请，您会被告知具体原因。如果您不能与市政府解决这些问题，您可以选择对他们的决定提出上诉。
1. 如果问题涉及到《建筑法》中规定的技术要求，您可以向建筑法委员会上诉。建筑规范委员会是省政府的一个独立裁决法庭，其任务是审理与遵守建筑规范的技术要求有关的纠纷。
2. 如果问题涉及到对其他适用法律的遵守，例如对分区细则的解释，您可以向高级法院的法官提出上诉，但建议您可以先和律师谈谈。

相信各位现在都了解了建筑许可证的用途和申请步骤，以及如果被拒绝了应该如何处理。匠垣建设也拥有专业的工程师，可以帮不知如何准备建筑许可证的您递交permit的申请。

下一篇文章中，我们将会介绍施工期间和之后需要使用到建筑许可证的地方；和进行非装修行为时所需要的一些特殊的许可证。

In Canada, before doing any renovations, you will need to receive a Building Permit following the Building Code outlined by the government, which can be a very time-consuming process. Choosing a professional, reliable commercial design and renovation team before starting the process can reduce the complexity of the entire process and give the business a great start.

A building permit is a document issued by the agency responsible for enforcing Ontario’s Building Code in your area. A building permit is required when you want to construct, renovate, demolish or change the use of a building.

![Toronto construction.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Toronto_construction_fbb46f5774.jpg)

### Why Do You Need a Building Permit?
Building permits allow your municipality to protect the interests of individuals and the community as a whole. By reviewing and approving building permit applications prior to construction, the municipal government can ensure that buildings comply with the following:
- Building Codes, which set standards for the design and construction of buildings in order to meet the goals of health, safety, fire protection, accessibility, and resource conservation.
- Local zoning bylaws and other planning controls on buildings.
- Other applicable legislation, including approvals from the Conservation Authority and certain requirements under the Environmental Protection Act.

### When Do I Need to Obtain a Building Permit?
1. Construct any new building over 10 square meters in size, or place another building on your property, such as a mobile home.
2. Renovate, repair or add additional units to a building.
3. Change the use of a building.
4. Excavate or construct the foundation base.
5. Construct a seasonal building.
6. Perform work related to the installation, alteration, expansion or repair of the on-site sewage disposal system.

![building permit.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/building_permit_02279179e0.jpg)

### Three Steps to Apply for a Building Permit
1. You can consult with the appropriate city department personnel prior to submitting your application. They can provide you with more details on what information, drawings and plans need to be included in your application and whether you need any additional permits or approvals.
2. Make sure that the drawings, plans and other documents are complete when submitting the application. There is also a chance that you will need to pay a fee.
3. Submit the application on the website of the municipal government or Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in your municipality where you are applying. Please note that building permit applications are submitted to **the Municipality**, not to the provincial government.

### Application Review Process
After submitting your application, your municipality’s staff will confirm that the proposed work complies with the Building Code and other applicable laws set out in the Building Code, such as local zoning bylaws. They may send your application to other local/municipal officials for additional comment.

Simple applications for alterations or additions can be processed fairly quickly, but more complex proposals may take longer. The Building Code requires that municipalities review complete permit applications within a certain time frame if the application meets the criteria set out in the Code.

For example, the time frame for a housing permit application is 10 days. For more complex buildings, such as hospitals, the time frame is 30 days. Within this timeframe, the municipality must either issue the permit or reject the permit and state the reasons for the denial.
In order to obtain a permit, the proposed building must comply with the Building Code and the applicable laws set out in the Code. If you require a zoning change or minor adjustment to the zoning bylaw (municipal zoning is considered applicable law), or if the proposed building does not comply with the Building Code, a permit will not be issued until the zoning change or minor adjustment is obtained, or the proposed building complies with the Building Code.

If your property falls under the Site Plan Control Bylaw, you may not be able to obtain a building permit until plans and drawings are approved by your municipality. For more information on zoning, minor variances and site plan control, you can read Zoning Bylaw No. 3.

### Here’s What You Should Do If Your Application Got Rejected!
1. If the government rejects your application for a building permit, you will be informed of the reasons. If you are unable to resolve the issues with the municipality, you may choose to appeal their decision.
2. If the issue relates to technical requirements set out in the Building Code, you can appeal to the Building Code Board. The Building Code Council is an independent adjudication tribunal of the provincial government whose mandate is to hear disputes related to compliance with the technical requirements of the Code.
3. If the issue involves compliance with other applicable laws, such as the interpretation of a zoning bylaw, you can appeal to a judge in the Superior Court, but it is advisable to talk to a lawyer first.

在安大略省进行装修的必备文件——建筑许可证

All You Need to Know About Ontario Building Permits

如果您正在考虑做一个大型的装修项目或建造您的梦想家园，我们建议您了解一下《建筑留置权法》，因为这些建筑相关的基本法律条款将与您接下来的规划息息相关。

安大略省的《建筑留置权法》规定了装修行业的所有法规，并可以更好地保护房主和装修公司以及个人的权利。

 ![JYConstruction 房产相关法律 建筑留置权法 商用建筑](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_01_7c02bb1f1d.png)

建筑业从根本上说是独特的，因为它容易受到参与建筑过程的人所面临的金融风险的影响。这些风险是建筑业特有的，因为大多数建筑工程是由承包商/贸易商进行的，他们与土地所有者没有直接合同。

简而言之，建筑项目的资金流可以被描述为一个金字塔。

您，房主，处于金字塔的顶端。在业主之后，是与业主有直接合同的一方（或多方）。然后这些承包商可以进一步雇用其他分包商来完成特定的任务，以此类推。

 ![JYConstruction 房产相关法律 建筑留置权法 商用建筑](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/1_01_282f57f9d3.png)

在这个系统中，资金沿着金字塔向下流动；一般来说，当工作完成后，业主会向承包商付款，最终向不同的分包商付款。

由于金字塔不同层次之间的资金分配并没有安全保障，安大略省政府提出了建筑留置权法案，涵盖了从金字塔顶部到底部的所有行业。

其基本原则是“当一个人/公司向业主、承包商或分包商提供服务或材料以开发房产时，他们与业主的利益有关联，而这些房产是以这些服务或材料的价格来改善的“（《建筑留置权法》第14（1）条）。

基本上，《安大略省建筑留置权法》给建筑商、承包商、建筑分包商、供应商和劳工提供了一种保障，以便收取拖欠他们的用于改善安大略省土地的劳动和材料的款项。

安大略省的《建筑留置权法》涵盖了装修行业中相当一部分复杂的法律问题。

为了保护房主的权利，业主有权在项目完成45天后保留所有费用的10%。但是，如果业主没有按时支付合同中标明的金额，装修企业需要在项目完成后45天内报告这一问题并登记留置权要求。登记完成后，企业必须在装修项目完成后90天内向安大略省法院提出正式诉讼，同时在获得法院的诉讼证明后，对房主的财产进行档案登记。如果这个过程在90天后进行，该命令将自动过期。还需要注意的是，安大略省的小额索赔法院不受理与《建筑留置权法》有关的诉讼，无论争议的金额是多少。

装修房子是一个昂贵而耗时的过程。高质量的装修不仅会让人赏心悦目，也有助于提高房主的整体素质，确保房子有良好的转售价值。然而，如果发生不必要的装修纠纷，不仅会让房主损失惨重，而且双方也会卷入漫长而昂贵的法律程序。因此，房主在选择和雇佣装修公司时要非常谨慎，这一点至关重要的。

If you are considering doing a major renovation project or constructing your dream home, you need to pay close attention to the Construction Lien Act, which includes essential legal provisions that could apply to you. 

Ontario’s Construction Lien Act sets out all regulations for the renovation industry, which can better protect the rights of both homeowners and renovation companies/individuals.

![JY construction commercial building Ontario construction lien act](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/2_01_7c02bb1f1d.png)

The building industry is fundamentally unique in its vulnerability to financial risks faced by those participating in the construction process. These risks are distinctive to the construction industry because most building works are carried out by contractors/traders that do not have a direct contract with the landowner.

To simplify, the flow of funds for construction projects can be described as a pyramid. 

You, the homeowner, are at the top of the pyramid. Following the owner, it is the party (or parties) with whom the owner has a direct contract with. Then these contractors can further employ other subcontractors to complete specific tasks, and so on.

![JY construction commercial building Ontario construction lien act](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/1_01_282f57f9d3.png)

In this system, money flows down the pyramid; generally speaking, when work is finished, payment is made to the contractor by the owner and eventually to the different subtrades.

Due to the insecurity of money distributions between different levels of the pyramid, Ontario has come up with the Construction Lien to cover trades from the top of the pyramid to the bottom.

The basic principle is “when a person/company provides an owner, contractor or subcontractor with services or materials to develop a property, they have a connection to the owner’s interest in the premises that are improved for the price of such services or materials” (section 14(1), Construction Lien Act).

Basically, the Ontario Construction Lien Act gives builders, contractors, construction subcontractors, suppliers and labourers a method to collect money owed to them for labour and materials used to improve land in Ontario.

Ontario’s Construction Lien Acts cover a good portion of complex legal issues in the renovation industry. 

In order to protect the rights of homeowners, owners are entitled to retain 10% of all fees 45 days after completion of the project. However, if the owner does not pay the amount indicated in the contract on time, the renovation business is required to report this issue and register a Claim for Lien within 45 days after the completion of the project. After the registration has been completed, the business must file a formal action to the Ontario Court of Justice within 90 days after the completion of the renovation project, as well as have the file registered against the homeowner’s property after obtaining a Certificate of Action from the Court. If this process is done after the 90-day period, the order will automatically be expired. It is also important to note that Ontario’s Small Claim Courts do not hear Construction Lien Act related lawsuits, regardless of the amount of the dispute.

![JY construction commercial building Ontario construction lien act](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/3_01_b3db9f5e32.png)

Renovating a house is a costly and time-consuming process. Quality renovations would not only be pleasing to the eyes but also help to improve the overall quality of homeowners and make sure that the house would have a good resale value. However, in the event of an unnecessary renovation dispute, not only will cost homeowners a fortune but both parties will also be involved in a long and costly legal process. As a result, it is crucial for homeowners to be very careful when choosing and hiring a renovation company.

Understand the Construction Lien Act

相信购买过独立屋的朋友们多少都有对房子做过装修，在除去有时间且动手能力强的少数后，大部分人通常更倾向于聘请装修公司代劳。然而装修也是个容易产生纠纷的行业——据安省的消费服务部统计，平均收到最多的投诉都是与装修纠纷相关，而这其中更多导致纠纷的原因，是双方沟通的不足以及认知的差异所造成的。

在选择装修公司时，业主掌握着百分百的选择权，包括预算和交易方式，甚至是施工方式和进程。为避免不必要的麻烦，业主们自己有必要做仔细挑选、排除任何的“不良”商家，然后双方签订尽可能详细的合同，预先为可能产生的争议设定解决的方式。

 

面对正在考虑雇用装修公司的各位，匠垣建设在这边为您提供以下一些建议：

 

![construction-site.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/construction_site_d46ba81c25.jpg)

 

#### 1.	选择持牌且手续完整的商业/住宅装修公司

根据安省的法律规定，运营装修公司必须取得该行业的营业牌照 (Contractor’s License)，并且通过无犯罪背景的审查和专业技能知识测试；同时，绝大部分的技术工作者，如水电工、木匠等也都需要取得相关的牌照才可上岗。除此之外，在选择装修公司时，您还需要向这些公司们确认有没有购买充足的雇员工伤保险和责任保险的。

千万不要贪小便宜雇佣无牌照、无保险的装修公司或个人，因为一旦在现场发生工伤事故，您将会需要承担全部的赔偿责任。同时，如果装修质量出现了任何问题，即使通过司法手段打赢官司，在装修公司未购买责任险的时候，您还有可能会求偿无门。

 

#### 2.	多参考、多比较

选择装修公司时，咨询身边朋友的经验也是个不可少的步骤。在初步选定了某家公司后，可以先到安省消费服务部的网站查询该公司是否有投诉记录，并向市政府牌照局查询它们是否有取得相关的业务牌照。同时，您还可以向装修公司获取一些他们的过往客户名单，亲自走访并了解该装修公司的装修质量。

在完成以上这些步骤后，则可向装修公司详细地讲述您的具体要求与预算，并请该公司为您做出完整的报价及装修计划。而在全程与装修公司接触时，可多留意他们行事是否专业。

 

![carpenter-working-with-circular-saw.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/carpenter_working_with_circular_saw_13e65903a2.jpg)

 

#### 3.	与对方签订内容完整的正式合同

正式的装修合同应该要包括具体的装修内容、付款的方式和时间、定金和材料费。需要注意的是，即便是非常详细的报价单，都不算是正式的合同，也因此不具备法律效力。同时，合同内最好还要标明如开始施工后，装修内容的调整方式和处理程序，这一条将能帮助您避开大部分的装修纠纷——很多业主与装修公司之间的纠纷都是在工程开始后，才发现原来的计划并不合适或因有问题而要求进行更改，双方很可能因此会在竣工时因费用或装修质量等问题产生争议。

相信各位其实对以上这些建议多少都有概念，但却因为一时的侥幸心理而觉得这件事不会发生在自己身上。匠垣希望读到此文的朋友，千万不要因为怕麻烦或贪小便宜而选择不正规的装修公司：如果您运气好、在装修方面有足够的知识、并且可以时刻监督整个工程的进展和装修质量的话，或许并不会因此而遇到什么问题；然而一旦发生了任何装修纠纷，唯有“正规程序所签订的合同”与“按约支付应付金额”才能对您起到司法保护的作用。

 

匠垣建设，秉承着“源于执着，匠心为本；专在设计，胜在品质”的理念，将用我们的专业态度和实战经验，为每一位业主量身定制最适合、最专业、最系统的装修方案。我们诚挚的邀请您通过电话或者微信的方式咨询我们，我们期待与您相遇！

Unless you have extensive knowledge and experience in interior design and construction, most people tend to look for renovation companies when redesigning and renovating their homes. According to the research done by Ontario’s Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, the renovation industry is one that tends to receive a lot of disputes. Most of the time, these disputes are caused by a lack of communication and differences in perception between the parties. 

In order to receive high-quality works that satisfy homeowners’ expectations, it is crucial for one to do extensive research on all possible options, paying attention to factors such as budget and transaction methods, construction process and time frame, etc. To avoid unnecessary hassles, homeowners need to be very careful when making selections, pick the one that suits their needs and meets their expectations, then sign a detailed contract and set up a pre-determined procedure on how to deal with any disputes at every stage of the process. 

 

For those of you looking to hire a renovation company, we offer the following suggestions:

 

![construction-site.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/construction_site_d46ba81c25.jpg)

 

#### 1. Choose a business or an individual who has all the necessary licenses and paperwork

Under Ontario law, renovation companies and individuals must obtain a Contractor's License in order to operate renovation and construction services in the province. On top of that, they must pass a Criminal Records Check and a Professional Skills Assessment Test. Most specialty jobs in Ontario, such as plumbers, carpenters, etc., require an on-job license in order to perform these services. In addition, when choosing a renovation company, homeowners need to make sure that the company has adequate workers’ compensation and liability insurance. Never hire an unlicensed and uninsured renovation company or individual even though they are much cheaper, as you will be held liable for any workplace accidents that occur on-site. Also, if there is any problem with the quality of the renovation works, even if you win the lawsuit through judicial means, you may receive no compensation if the renovation company does not have liability insurance.

 

#### 2. Research and compare before choosing who to hire 

When finding the perfect company, you could always consult your friends and see if they have any recommendations. After you have decided on who you want to work with, we recommend that you check the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services website to see if the company has any records of complaints. As well, double-check with the City’s Licensing Authority to make sure that the business has all the necessary business licenses. In addition, you may also request a list of past clients that the renovation company has worked with in order to contact previous clients and ask about their experiences with the business. When all of these steps have been completed, you may go ahead and set up a consultation appointment with the business to go over all of your requirements and your budget plan, as well as, ask the business to provide you with a complete quote and renovation plan. During this process, homeowners should pay close attention to the renovation business’ professionalism before making the final decision.

 

![carpenter-working-with-circular-saw.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/carpenter_working_with_circular_saw_13e65903a2.jpg)

 

#### 3. Sign a formal and complete renovation contract

A formal and complete renovation contract must include details of the renovation process, how and when should the payment be made, deposit and material costs. Homeowners should note that a contract must include all of the above sections, or else it is not a formal and complete contract and therefore will not have any legal effects. At the same time, the contract also needs to include how changes will be made after the renovation has started in order to avoid disputes between the parties.

We believe that most homeowners have some basic knowledge of these suggestions that we have made. We advise that you should always choose proper and legal renovation businesses to protect yourself by going through the formal process of signing a contract and paying the agreed-upon amount.

装修时需牢记的3件事

Keep These 3 Things in Mind When Renovating

![JYC Dec Blog-01.png](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/JYC_Dec_Blog_01_8030fd9962.png)

多伦多作为一座拥有大量华人移民的繁华城市，仅仅是中餐厅就有700多家。也因为竞争如此的激烈，要想成为一家出圈、名声远播的餐馆，可不能只靠出众的餐点口味，餐厅选址、品牌风格、室内装修等也会成为一家餐厅的加分或减分项。
 
餐馆的装修往往与售卖餐点的风格与价位等有所关联，然而无论是哪种风格的装修，店内的布局分配、厨房规划、水电气烟管线等都最好由专业人士的设计与规划；倘若为了省小钱而自行处理，一旦出现了问题，小则让人闹心，大则有可能造成无法挽回的悲剧。

餐馆的装修设计与家居设计有很大的不同。从整体功能设计上来说，进行家装设计时只需要考虑主人的生活习惯、方便收纳、视觉美观等；而一间餐厅的装修还需同时考虑到适度性、各个空间组织的合理性，与顾客、员工、经营效益等三方面的各种需求上的矛盾，同时考虑员工的操作便利性和顾客的就餐体验感。而这一切的规划，都是要在餐厅坪效最大化的基础上执行的——毕竟这将直接关系到餐厅的收益。
 
坪效，就是从空间来讲，一间餐厅每一平方米在每月、每周、甚至每日创造的收入——换句话说，如果“人均创效”是考验老板们识人、用人的功力，那么“坪效”则是考察整间餐厅运作时的效能如何。以下是一些可以参考的公式：
 
坪效=销售额÷门店营业面积

日均坪效=日均销售额÷门店营业面积

月均坪效=月均销售额÷门店营业面积

![CN_03_153fe75d8c.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/CN_03_153fe75d8c_b189aae8fb.jpg)

一间餐馆的建立并不只有经营管理与建筑设计，厨房设备技术与使用布局、水电及能源的设施与供应、通风、卫生、与消防安全等等皆有关联，可以说是设计密度最高、涉及专业技术类别最广、系统交叉最繁复的民用建筑。也因为所在设计餐厅时需要慎之又慎，匠垣帮各位准老板们列出了进行餐馆装修所需要注意的5项重点，帮助更多人在进行这类的装修时少走弯路：

#### 1. 空间设计重中之重
餐厅的布局、动线要合理。明确的布局、流畅的动线会帮助整个团队运转更有效率，同时带来更周到的服务、让客人拥有更好的到店体验。多伦多近年来出现了越来越多店面小、活动空间有限，生意却很好的快餐式餐饮店铺，正是因为他们高效的利用空间，才能才能在坪效最大化的同时提供给客户优良的用户体验。
也因此布局和动线将是室内设计师需要考虑的首要问题，而这也是匠垣建设一直在强调的“功能美学”、餐馆迈向成功的关键。

#### 2. 隐蔽工程
排水、防水、排烟等等这些都是表面上看不到，实际却大大影响使用。 我们都知道前厅改装容易，但后厨改装工程大、时间长、成本也更高，所以隐蔽工程的细节一定要到位，避免后续改装带来不必要的麻烦。

#### 3. 注重品牌效应
在进行餐厅的室内设计时，除了舒适、大气之外，同时也要能传达出该品牌的文化、理念、与产品特色，从而更能在客人心中留下深刻的印象。

![hands-engineer-working-blueprint-construction-concept-engineering-tools-vintage-tone-retro-filter-effect-soft-focus-selective-focus.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/hands_engineer_working_blueprint_construction_concept_engineering_tools_vintage_tone_retro_filter_effect_soft_focus_selective_focus_689e951c91.jpg)

#### 4. 一定要请对“当地建筑法规与要求”相当了解的团队，从而避免走弯路
 
“什么时候需要申请装修许可证？”
“我的装修计划需不需要得到相关部门的批准？”
“我计划聘用的Contractor是否需要申请特定许可证？”
“我计划装修的项目和细节会涉及哪些法律法规吗？”
 
装修过程中一定会有各式各样的情况发生，而这些都是最好被提前考虑到的，倘若聘用了对当地法规不甚了解的团队，则会需要花费更多时间去查询相关资料，耗时又费力；再者，建筑许可的审批相对严格，若能将提审材料准备的更加完整，则可以帮助审批过程更加顺利。
如果对店内的有任何改造、装修都需要通过政府的许可。建筑许可(Building Permit)，是安省政府相关部门颁发的允许施工或拆除的正式许可，目的在于确保建筑安全、合法及符合社区要求。
 
#### 5. 装修后的售后保障
零售店、办公场所，餐厅一类等几乎需要“天天营业”的商业场所在开始运营后的室内装修与器材设备等方面的耗损是极其快速的。因此一间装修公司是否有能力在餐馆项目的售后阶段提供7/24的即时维护服务就显得至关重要了。

正因为无论想对店铺做任何改造、装修等都需要经过政府的审批拿到Building Permit，在装修前选择一个专业、可靠的商业室内设计团队才会如此重要：不仅可以为整个复杂繁琐的流程减少些许麻烦，更是能给自己的新店铺一个吉祥的“开门红”。

也希望有意向、或是已经准备进入餐饮业的你，能够活用匠垣建设准备的五点”给餐馆的设计装修建议“，助您的餐馆之路一臂之力。

Toronto has over 700 Chinese restaurants. Due to the competitiveness of the industry, in order to stand out from competitors, it's not enough to just have a tasty menu; the location, branding, and design of the restaurant all play a significant role in the realized success of a restaurant. 

The interior design of a restaurant is often associated with its style of cuisine and pricing structure. However, no matter the design or style, it is crucial to have professionals to help with designing the layout of the store, kitchen planning, plumbing and smoke lines, etc. It is not recommended to do everything yourself as a means to save money at this stage of the planning and the designing process, as it would lead to future distress and consequences if a problem occurs. 

Generally speaking, interior design for restaurants versus residential units are very different. In terms of overall functionality, residential designs only need to consider resident’s living habits, storage utilities, visual aesthetics, etc; yet, for restaurants, it also needs to take into consideration customer comfort, the space and operational efficiency, and the various needs of both customers and staff. All this planning is to be implemented on the basis of maximizing the Ping Efficiency of the restaurant. After all, this will directly contribute to the restaurant’s revenue.

Ping Efficiency (sales per square meter) is the revenue generated per square meter of a restaurant on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis. In other words, if “Per Capita Efficiency” is a test of the restaurant owner’s ability to allocate staff resources, then “Ping Efficiency” is the test of how effective the whole restaurant is in its operation. Here are some formulas to consider.


Ping Efficiency = Sales/Store Area in Square Meter

Average Daily Ping Efficiency = Daily Sales/Store Area in Square Meter

Average Monthly Ping Efficiency = Monthly Sales/Store Area in Square Meter

 

![EN_03_f00447a133.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/EN_03_f00447a133_5c65fdc083.jpg)

 

The establishment of a restaurant is not only about management and architectural design; kitchen equipment, the use of space, water, electricity and energy facilities and supply, ventilation, sanitation, and fire safety are all important aspects to consider when building a restaurant. In fact, a restaurant is known to be one of the most complex “living” spaces in terms of design, and involves the most extensive professional and technical support. Due of the need to be cautious when planning and designing a restaurant, JY Construction helps all current and prospective owners by highlights five important aspects of planning and designing a restaurant: 

 

#### 1. The Importance of Smart Space Usage

A smooth interior layout will help increase team efficiency while bringing better service and customer experience. In recent years, there have been more and more fast-food restaurants in Toronto with small storefronts and limited space, but their businesses are doing very well because they know the importance of smart use of space. By using their space efficiently, they can provide customers with excellent user experiences while maximizing their floor space.

As a result, flood layout and movement circulation are the primary considerations for commercial designers, and they are the key to the success of the restaurant, which is known as the “aesthetic functionality” that JY Construction has emphasized.

 
 
#### 2. Concealed Works

Draining, waterproofing, smoke exhaust, etc. these are hidden works that aren’t visible on the surface in restaurants, but greatly affect the usage of space. The front of the restaurant is often relatively easy to modify, but back kitchen modification projects are bigger, take longer and are more expensive, so the details of the concealed works must be put in place to avoid future unnecessary works with subsequent modifications.

 

#### 3. The Use of Brand Effect

In addition to creating a comfortable atmosphere, the interior design of the restaurant should also convey the culture, philosophy and product characteristics of the brand, thus leaving a greater impression in the minds of the guests.

 

![hands-engineer-working-blueprint-construction-concept-engineering-tools-vintage-tone-retro-filter-effect-soft-focus-selective-focus.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/hands_engineer_working_blueprint_construction_concept_engineering_tools_vintage_tone_retro_filter_effect_soft_focus_selective_focus_689e951c91.jpg)

 

#### 4. Pay Close Attention to Local Construction Rules and Regulations

“When do I need to apply for a permit?”
“Do I need approval from the government?”
“Do I need to apply for anything in order to hire a contractor?”
“What kinds of rules and regulations do I need to pay attention to?”

It is very likely that you may run into all kinds of issues and problems during the renovation process. If you hire a team that is not familiar with local regulations, it will take time to look up the relevant information, which is time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the rules and approval processes associated with permits are fairly strict, which makes it crucial to hire a team with extensive knowledge and experience in this field to make sure the processes go smoothly. 

If any modifications or renovations need to be made to the store, you need to receive the government’s approval. A Building Permit is a formal notice issued by the Ontario government to allow construction or demolition of a building in order to ensure that the building is safe, legal and meets community requirements.
 
 

#### 5. Maintenance Services

Retail stores, offices, restaurants and other commercial establishments that need to be open almost every day tend to wear out their interior finishes and equipment extremely quickly. Thus, it is crucial that a renovation company is able to provide 24/7 maintenance services during the post-renovation phase of a restaurant project.

 

In Canada, before doing any renovations, you need to receive a government approved Building Permit, which can take quite some time. Choosing a professional, reliable commercial design and renovation team before starting the process. can reduce the complexity of the entire process and give the business a great start.

At JY Construction, we hope that you can utilize these five tips to your benefit and wish you all the best in opening up your own restaurant.

在多伦多开餐馆，不可错过的5点关键！

5 Aspects of Restaurant Interior Design in Toronto

design

项目地点： Waterloo
设计时间：2021 
竣工时间：2021 
建筑面积：2730 sq.ft. 


本次项目采用后现代设计风格，希望从文化中寻找灵感和元素，运用符号的象征意义，来表现设计主题。云尚米线名称中的“云”是设计团队的灵感来源。中国文化中，“云”是自然的象征，也是一种人生境界的写照。“云”随风动，顺应自然的规律，与自然融为一体。云烟是中国山水画很重要的因素，汉字和山水画成为 设计师概念设计中很重要的一点 。设计师希望把传统中式的山水纹样与文化元素，融合在一起。

![云尚米线 商业装修图片展示](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Yunshang_Rice_Noodle_cn2_49ea3b389c.jpg)


如何通过精巧的设计，让这家店在滑铁卢大学周边餐饮行业的激烈竞争中脱颖而出呢？ 这是业主比较关心的问题。设计师在考虑到项目周边餐厅老旧的灰暗色调，以及滑铁卢大学生的年龄因素，选用了大红色为主色调，搭配明黄色，同时两个颜色关系中又选择了浅灰色作为视觉调和，在线型可调光LED的灯光辅助下，为餐厅营造出明亮而振奋人心的氛围。根据视角与光线的变化，木砖墙表面最后形成动态的光影，极大地丰富客人在视觉和触觉上的体验。


另外一个本次设计中很重要的一个概念，是把汉字单字拆成标点符号，使其图形化、符号化，用来隐喻中国文化的象征意义，以凸显设计的创新。照明设计运用将水墨和晕染图案创作在天花发光顶棚及墙面瓷盘的装饰上，从图案的丰富性上做呼应，金色锻铜的中式荷叶灯，旨在丰富中式元素，配合传统的四方联续的云纹图案，创造一个明亮温暖的开放空间，希望能将传统元素与现代手法相碰撞并合理融合。


![云尚米线 商业装修图片展示](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Yunshang_Rice_Noodle_cn1_ad4ed03604.jpg)


除了设计本身所表达出的美感，功能性和有逻辑的布局是餐厅设计的根本所在。人员流动线在餐厅主要可以分为两种：一个是员工的服务动线，另一个是顾客动线。设计师把平面方案和业主反复讨论，根据安大略省建筑规范，调整各种厨房设备使用的先后顺序与摆放位置，规划服务员送餐和回收餐具的行走路线。

尽可能利用复合空间的共享区域，增加空间利用的灵活性。前厅就餐区的平面划分基本是对称图形，这很好地帮助设计师建立了对位关系和仪式感。考虑了设计好的角度控制，曲线与直线的结合，希望实现快速通行与空间再利用。 在展现空间有趣氛围的同时，帮助业主提高服务效率和服务质量。

For a restaurant project, what we want to achieve is that from the first moment people step into the restaurant, they know they are not only going to enjoy great food but also will fall in love with the ambiance.

The restaurant's name is called "Yunshang Rice Noodle". The word "Yun (云)" means "cloud" in Chinese, which is a symbol of nature and a state of life. In traditional Chinese culture, there are countless masterpieces of landscape paintings about clouds, mist, and fog. The designer implemented this concept across the whole project, and cloud has been used as the main feature of the ceiling to generate an image of oriental sophistication.

![yun shang noodle waterloo ](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Yunshang_Rice_Noodle_en2_2c2a375238.jpg)

Another crucial aspect is the use of colours. It's essential to maintain harmony in a space. Still, also we need to make sure that our client can stand out from the fierce competition in the restaurant industry through sophisticated design. After considering local target customers’ demographic and the client's brand image, we decided to use red and yellow to create a bright, inviting atmosphere, as these two colours usually remind us of the source of life, warmth, and vitality. While bold colours work best when they have something to play off, and that's why we chose grey and white as the complementary hues to strike a balance. These hues provide a space for the eye to take a respite from the bold colours. 

The overall interior is elegant, with clean lines and spaces. As soon as you enter the area, the classic red colour and wall graphics give you a warm welcome. Using a postmodernism design language, the designer created an oriental style inseparably connected with Chinese culture. Solid brick walls, cloud ceilings, furniture, and other decorations define the aesthetics of the venue, together with the contrasting and bold colours manifest the unique character of the place.

![yunshang rice noodle waterloo](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/Yunshang_Rice_Noodle_en1_f8e15f08b1.jpg)

Language is a part of culture and plays a significant role in it. Designing with the Hanzi (Chinese characters) script is another highlight of this project. In Chinese language, each character carries profound meaning and heritage. Strokes are the most fundamental building block of Chinese characters. The designer disassembled selected Chinese characters into strokes, using them as graphical and symbolic icons. The design style is unsurprisingly noted for its zen-like aesthetic and simplicity - it’s about clean lines and the character of shape. 

Once you enter the restaurant, you will find yourself standing under a large-scaled Chinese ink smudge painting. Cloud and fog are the main features of the ceiling light, as well as the wall porcelain plate decorations, which creates an image of oriental sophistication. The golden Chinese lotus leaf lamps also add a hint of vibrant colour. By incorporating these mesmerizing elements into the restaurant design, the interior instantly evokes an image of serenity and tranquil calm while keeping a fresh, contemporary vibe.

The way we design the interior and how we place all elements is a very important part of how well a restaurant operates. From the user's point of view, the layout design needs to be functional, practical, and convenient. For this project, we spent a lot of effort on creating a successful floor plan based on how it directs movement. We need to consider all possible routes of both customers and employees, including where deliveries will be shipped in, how chefs move from pantry to food prep, how servers pick up orders and bring them to the tables, and varying levels of comfort and privacy. The layout of the dining area in the front hall is perfectly symmetrical, which helps the designer to establish a balanced distribution of visual weight. We also tried to utilize every inch of the shared room in order to increase flexibility, making sure the dining area can be flexible enough to adapt to unexpected demands.

前面我们介绍了和加拿大土地使用与有着千丝万缕关系的zoning，与在进行商用空间租赁时，容易在zoning方面遇上的“坑”。接下来，我们将从在进行商业装修的前期设计阶段时，容易被忽略的情况或部分进行介绍与分析。

尽管政府对商业用地设下了许多的限制与条件，却也是基于对前期的施工方、后期的使用者与周围邻里的人身健康与安全考量，毕竟一旦面临美观实用对上安全性的取舍，若没有相关法规限制的情况下，更容易让人想赌一把“不安全”情况发生的几率。而为了能在有法规限制的基础上，在有限的空间内完整展现其品牌风格，聘用一个拥有丰富经验的商业装修团队来进行室内设计尤其重要。


![close-up-man-hitting-nail-by-hammer1.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/close_up_man_hitting_nail_by_hammer1_c85124fec4.jpg)

商业空间中的室内设计不同于我们一般理解的普通装修与设计，像选瓷砖或家具那么简单。它不仅要在满足“好看”的同时考虑到品牌的主营业务与工作流程等动线设计，对于企业整体的未来规划与也需要一并纳入考量，避免只看到了眼前的情况，却忽略了如**后期增加员工时需要的空间、空调风量、供电量、甚至是厕所数量等预留**，或是**实际工作流程操作上与设计预想不符**等问题，导致需要在后期拆掉重新优化，费时费力。

一个优质的商业室内设计，即是可以在合理满足工作人员、来访人员、与业主的同时，对未来成品的效果、造价与工期起到规划、指导与约束的作用的。


## 开始施工前，提前打点好邻里关系

最后一个“经验之谈” 或许会被大部分人认为是当代社会中的非必选项，但不可否认的，若能和邻里之间保持良好关系，将能够避免更多可能产生的麻烦。因为不论在任何情况下，若因**灰尘、异味、噪音、施工失误**等情况导致了邻里纠纷，往往市政检查官、物业管理公司、仲裁机构等都会**更偏袒于邻里**，而非正在施工、准备入驻运营的你。

都说“好钢要用在刀刃上”，对于无论是想开餐馆、零售、办公室或企业展厅的你来说，室内设计就是你应该用上“好钢”的刀刃。与一个经验丰富、可靠贴心的商装团队合作不仅是对装修成果的保障，也能在分享想法的同时获得更多专业的建议，更能帮助品牌提升在访客心中的印象分。而在了解这些商业装修时容易被忽略的坑后，相信你的开业之路也会更加顺利。

Previously, we have introduced land use and zoning in Canada, as well as some of the details that you need to pay attention to when doing commercial renovations. Today, we will further discuss and analyze some of the crucial things that can easily be overlooked during the design stage of commercial renovation. 

In Canada, there are a lot of restrictions and regulations in place when it comes to commercial lands, ensuring the health and safety of every individual involved in the use of land; from the construction period to the post-occupancy phase, the government needs to ensure the safety of everyone. However, with all these regulations in place, it is hard to make sure every step aligns with the restrictions. As a result, it is especially important to hire an experienced commercial renovation team for interior design in order to showcase your brand’s unique style in a limited space with regulatory restrictions.

 

![close-up-man-hitting-nail-by-hammer1.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/close_up_man_hitting_nail_by_hammer1_c85124fec4.jpg)

 

Interior design in commercial spaces is different from what we generally understand as the common/ordinary interior design, such as choosing tiles or furniture. When it comes to design for commercial spaces, it should not only look good, it also needs to take into account the overall brand image and the future planning of the business. For example, it needs to take into account the space needed to increase the number of employees, air conditioning, power supply, and even the number of toilets, etc. If in the future, the actual workflow does not match the design, it will result in the need of tearing down and re-optimizing the shop, which is more time-consuming and costly.

A quality commercial interior design is one that can reasonably meet the needs of the staff, visitors and owners at the same time, as well as provide guidance to future finished products, costs and durations of the planning process.

 

## Before you start construction, make sure you let all your neighbours know about it. 

This last “rule of thumb” may be considered by most people as a non-essential option, but it is undeniable that maintaining a good relationship with all your neighbours will definitely be beneficial to your business. This is important because if a neighbourhood dispute is caused by dust, odour, noise, construction errors, etc., often the city inspector, property management company, and arbitration body will favour the neighbours over you.

For anyone and everyone who wants to open a restaurant, retail, office, or corporate showroom, one must pay close attention to interior designs. Working with an experienced, reliable and attentive commercial team is not only a guarantee of good results but also a way to share ideas and get more professional advice that will help your brand improve as a whole. After having in-depth knowledge of some of the basic principles of commercial renovation, it will definitely help to make sure that your new business will operate as smoothly as possible.

## 关于Zoning

Zoning或许是个对许多第一次在加拿大租赁商业场所的“外国人”来说相对陌生的概念，但它作为加拿大土地开发与规划的基础，每一个**独立的商用物业**都已经被**政府用zoning规划为不同的商业用途**。例如有的店面并不被允许被作为干洗店营业，或是有的位置只能开设零售店，不能经营餐馆等。
 
 
正因为zoning如此重要，在正式签下商用场所的租赁合同前，租方一定要先确认自己的经营业务是否与心仪的商业场所拥有的商业用途相同。若在签下合同后才发现租下的位置并不能作预期结果使用，则会增加额外的成本，以下是两种可能出现的情况：

 

### 1.	如果**想租的地点**和**你想经营的**业务**类别相同**
*例如你希望用这间店铺开家餐馆，而这个地址曾经也是作餐馆用途；或是你想租下作办公室的物业，别人曾经也是租来当办公室的，这些“商业性质”不变的情况。*
 
 
恭喜你！这是最好的情况，代表你不需要就zoning这件事上和政府的相关部门作更多的周旋。尽管如此，你想租的这个物业还是有可能因为**室内布局过于老旧**、**不符合最新的建筑规章制度**等硬性原因，又或是需要增加厕所、总电量供给等与**基础设施相关**的软性原因，而需要进行一些**改变内部结构的装修**。那么这就会需要申请我们前面提到的政府批文（permit）来进行装修调整了。

例如室内如果没有无障碍设施（通道、厕所等）或安全出口指示灯，就不符合政府现有的建筑规章制度，必须更新以符合规定。

 

![architects-face-mask-planning-construction-new-normal copy.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/architects_face_mask_planning_construction_new_normal_copy_321fe224a8.jpg)

 

### 2.	如果**想租的地点**和**你想经营的**业务**类别不同**

*例如你希望用这间店铺开家饭店，但政府对这个店铺的规划并不包括餐饮；或是想要用一直作为仓库使用的位置来开设修车行，这些“商业性质”不同的情况，或是启用新建好的毛坯物业等。*


先别紧张，这并不代表你完全没机会在这个地点经营你的业务。在无法百分之百确定该商业场所允许的经营种类有包含你的业务类别时，最好还是与**该地点所属的市级建筑部门**确认后再作决定更为妥当。例如想租的店铺位于多伦多市中心，就需要和[多伦多市政府](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/zoning-by-law-preliminary-zoning-reviews/)联系确认。


若政府对该地址的使用规划有包含你想经营的业务种类，则我们可以跳回上一条继续下一步的规划；若并不包含，却也不想放弃在这个地点合法经营，就需要考虑申请更改该地点的zoning。然而这一系列从申请更改zoning到市政府审批所需的**时间和成功几率**是**无法获得承诺与保障**的，因此最终是否要执行还是建议再三评估后决定。

Starting a business is an enormous investment for many individuals, which means that entrepreneurs want to avoid as much risk as possible in order to make more profits. From product placements and operation strategies, to branding and target markets, there are a lot of factors that go towards the success of a brand. 

Perhaps, every brand is unique; it is often rare to copy a brand’s success completely, but there are definitely ways to minimize some of the obstacles that many brands face. For example, hire a professional commercial renovation team with rich experience who is trustworthy will be a good choice for you to establish your brand's commercial space.

[In the previous article](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/how-to-plan-a-commercial-remodel-for-your-business), JYC has introduced the five renovation requirements for entrepreneurs who are considering opening a business and the importance of applying for government permits. Keeping this basic knowledge in mind, we will further discuss some of the obstacles and issues that brands tend to face during their renovation process and how can these be avoided.

## About Zoning

Zoning may be a relatively new concept to many "foreigners" renting commercial spaces, but it is the basis for land development and planning in Canada. Every individual commercial property has been zoned by the government for different commercial uses. For example, some storefronts are not allowed to operate as dry cleaners, or some locations can only have retail stores, not restaurants, etc.

Because zoning is so important, before signing a lease for a commercial space, it is crucial for the tenant to confirm that their business aligns with the legal use of that commercial space. If you find out after signing the contract that the location you rented is not going to be used for the intended outcome, additional costs will be added.

 

### 1. If the location you want to rent aligns with your business.

*For example, if you want to use the store to open a restaurant and the address was once used as a restaurant, or if you want to rent a property for an office and someone else used to rent it for an office, these “nature of business” remains the same.*

If this is the case, congratulations! This is the best-case scenario, which means you don't have to deal with the government authorities on the matter of zoning. Nonetheless, the property you want to rent may need to be renovated for rigid reasons, such as the interior layout is too old, does not meet the latest building regulations, or for flexible reasons related to infrastructure, such as the need for additional toilets, total electricity supply, etc. Then it will be necessary to apply for governmental permits for such renovations.

For example, if the interior does not have barrier-free facilities (access, toilets, etc.) or safety exit lights, it does not comply with existing government building regulations and must be updated to comply with the regulations.

 

![architects-face-mask-planning-construction-new-normal copy.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/architects_face_mask_planning_construction_new_normal_copy_321fe224a8.jpg)

 

### 2. If the location you want to rent DOES NOT aligns with your business.

*For example, if you want to use the location to open a restaurant, but the government's plan for the store does not include food and beverage, or if you want to use the location that has been used as a warehouse to open a car repair shop, which has a different “nature of business.” As well as, if you want to use a newly built property (roughcast house) to open your business.*

The case here would be a little bit more complicated. Don’t stress; this doesn’t mean that you can’t open up your business at this location for sure.

If you are not 100% sure about whether or not the location you want to rent falls under this category, you can double-check with the municipal building department before signing the lease. For example, if you want to rent a store located in downtown Toronto, you will need to check with the [City of Toronto] (https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/zoning-by-law-preliminary-zoning-reviews/) to confirm.

If the government’s zoning plan for the location includes the type of business you want to operate, then we can skip back to the previous section and move on to the next step. On the other hand, if it does not, but you do not want to give up operating legally in this location, you need to consider applying for a zoning change for the location. 

However, when it comes to applying for a zoning change, the result is not guaranteed. As a result, it is crucial to make decisions only after detailed evaluations have been made.

面对“创业”如此大的一笔投资，尽可能地避开风险并保持业绩的提升是每位创业者的目标，但所有人为或大环境造成的因素皆有可能对一个品牌的升起或陨落有所影响。匠垣将会列举关于进行商业装修时容易遇上的情况，并提供相应的建议。

在多伦多开店，如何避开商业装修时“看不见的坑”？（上）

Try Avoiding These for Your Next Commercial Renovation (I)

随着社会整体的经济水平逐渐提高，人们的消费取向不再只关注产品本身，产品包装、品牌形象、全程的消费体验等产品的“附加项”也成为了选择产品时的考量因素之一。对于一间实体店面，高品质、注重细节的门店装修不仅是为了展示产品本身，更是要让消费者在看到店铺的第一眼就能感受到品牌的魅力，从而吸引消费者进门一探究竟。

然而对于第一次在加拿大开店的人而言，与国内截然不同的商业装修手续很容易让人迷失方向；多伦多的装修公司成千上万，想在其中挑选出工艺出众、注重细节且一手包办的装修公司更不是一件容易的事。为了让更多的创业者在创业过程中少走弯路，匠垣为各位列出了新手很容易错过、却万万不可遗漏的几个步骤：

首先我们要了解一下，一次**优质的商业店铺装修**应该包括以下几点：

1. 一间成功的店铺装修，无论餐馆或零售，都应该在第一时间能够吸引路人的目光。也就是门面要**足够吸睛**。
2. 外观设计很重要，需要准确的传达出品牌及产品的定性和调性，引导潜在客户进店。这也是需要选择经验丰富的商业设计团队的原因，他们所掌握的知识点与过往经历是很多家装设计师所没有的。
3. **店内的动线设计**对销售转化也是至关重要的，其中就包括：什么样的布局能让团队更有效率的运转、前厅安排得让客人体验感更好，等等。
4. 选择**WSIB（Workplace Safety and Insurance Board 劳工安全保险)认证团队**，更安心更放心。

![m2go-by-mandarin-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/m2go_by_mandarin_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_601905199d.jpg)


接着是最重要的一点！正常情况下，除了一些饰面工程，比如换地板，刷墙面油漆等，其它的商业装修都是需要**申请政府批文（permit）**的。

当我们需要动到关于结构工程、水电气消防等工程，或涉及zoning时，就一定要申请政府批文。Permit不仅代表施工是符合防火、无障碍与资源保护的标准外，同时也能确保周围居民与工人在施工期间的健康与安全；**如果不申请permit，一旦被人举报或者被City发现，将会影响开业时间和正常营业**，这对于任何店家来说都是很严重的。

**申请批文前需要哪些准备？**找个靠谱的设计团队来设计“室内设计”和“批文图纸设计”！

**室内设计**即为Interior design ，而一套完整的设计图纸包含：

1. 图纸目录
2. 设计总说明
3. 施工图，例如，平面图，立面图，剖面图以及施工细节图
4. 设备施工图，包括水、HVAC、管道、线路系统、供电照明、弱电等设备的平面布置图和详图
5. 效果图

一般全套室内设计图会在4个星期起完成，具体时间根据项目大小、难易程度来决定时间。

![interior-design-is-more-than-important-in-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/interior_design_is_more_than_important_in_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_0dcb688b33.jpg)


**批文图纸设计**则是我们常说的permit drawing：

根据**室内设计的平面图**与**现场情况**来画的，画图时间也是2-4周内完成。和室内设计相同，不同的项目，所需时间也会不同。同时，permit也是有不同的种类的，这就意味着一个项目可能需要申请好几种permit。基本的商业室内装修会涉及到的批文包括：

- Building Permit，它包括人身安全类的图纸信息以及结构等方面的变动；
- Mechanical Permit，空调、煤气管道以及消防类相关的图纸；
- Plumbing Permit，所有关于水部分的相关的图纸; 
- Electrical Permit，电图纸，其中会包含电箱灯具以及设备用电量等信息。

批文图纸审批时间一般需要8周左右, 因此若想装修一间店铺，总设计时间应该预留3-4个月左右为最佳；如果盘店下offer，closing date或者免租期则是越久越好。

这些细节看似简单，确是许多新手容易遗漏的第一步。若在前期就能找到专业可靠的商业设计与装修团队，这些复杂的手续都将能被轻松的解决！现在你对商业装修有初步的了解了吗？我们将会在下一篇文章分享**如何避开进行商业装修时的常规坑**。

With the growth of individual purchasing power and the emergence of new products in the market, consumers are becoming pickier and pickier when it comes to where and what to shop. A physical store can only stand out from its competitors through unique and eye-catching interior designs and showcases. 

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. For many first-time store owners, it is extremely hard for them to come up with designs that suit both their brand image and consumer expectations, leading many to seek out construction companies. However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of renovation and construction companies in the Greater Toronto Area; how does one pick out the right one to work with? 

To help more entrepreneurs and new store owners through this process, JY Construction has listed a few tips that newbies must pay attention to when doing renovations.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when **designing the perfect renovation plan**:

1.	An effective store renovation plan, whether for restaurants or retail chains, should be able to attract the attention of passersby. That is, it needs to be eye-catching enough. 
2.	The exterior design needs to accurately convey characteristics of the brand and products to guide potential customers into the store. This is why you need to choose an experienced commercial design team with extensive knowledge and experience that many home decorators do not have.
3.	The store’s internal layout also plays a crucial role in maximizing employee efficiency and customer comfort.
4.	Choose a **WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) certified team** for a more efficient and detailed workflow.

![m2go-by-mandarin-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/m2go_by_mandarin_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_601905199d.jpg)

The most important thing when it comes to renovation is applying for permits! Barring basic painting of the walls and changing of floor tiles, most commercial renovations require government permits.

With regards to zoning, structural engineering, plumbing, electrical and fire safety,  government approval is necessary. The permit not only ensures that the construction project is in line with the fire safety, accessibility, and environmental standards, but also the health and safety of surrounding residents and workers. **If you were found to not have a permit, once there could be major consequences, potentially affecting your business operation as a whole.**

**“So what do I need to prepare before applying for a permit?”**

Good question! First and foremost, you need to find a reliable design and renovation agency to draft the “interior design” and “permit drawing.”

Interior design is a complete set of design drawings containing: 
1.	A table of contents. 
2.	A general description of the design.
3.	Project blueprints, detailing floor plans, elevations, sections and construction details.
4.	Construction process and equipment drawings, including the layout and details of water, HVAC, plumbing, wiring systems, lighting and power, and electrical equipment.
5.	3D renderings.

Generally, a full set of interior design drawings will be completed in 4 weeks, depending on the size and difficulty of the project.

![interior-design-is-more-than-important-in-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/interior_design_is_more_than_important_in_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_0dcb688b33.jpg)

The permit drawing process, depending on the floor plan and site conditions, should also take 2 to 4 weeks. 
Where it comes to permit drawings, there are various types of permits that need to be secured, depending on the details of the project, including:
- Building Permit, which includes personal safety information, as well as documenting any structural changes.
- Mechanical Permit, which is related to air conditioning, gas, and fire safety.
