What this form asks for

The AI fills all of it, from your answers or your documents.

Application Schedule 1: Designer Information is a required schedule that accompanies certain building permit applications in Toronto to disclose who is reviewing and taking responsibility for design work. It captures project details, the responsible individual’s contact information, the design activities being undertaken (per Ontario Building Code Table 3.5.2.1, Division C), and a formal designer declaration. The declaration confirms the designer’s status (registered firm, “other designer,” or exempt), includes BCIN information where applicable, and certifies the accuracy of the submission. This form is important because it establishes accountability and code compliance for design work submitted with a permit application.

The AI checks your answers before you download

15 checks built for this form, so a wrong date or a missing answer is caught before anyone else sees it.

Project Address Completeness (Street No., Street Name, City/Town, Postal Code)

Validates that the project location includes, at minimum, Street Number, Street Name, City/Town, and Postal Code, since these are essential to identify the site and route the application to the correct jurisdiction. Unit/Suite and Lot/Concession should be required when applicable (e.g., multi-tenant buildings or rural properties). If any required address component is missing, the submission should be rejected or flagged as incomplete because the project cannot be reliably located.

Canadian Postal Code Format Validation

Checks that all postal code fields (Project and Contact) match the Canadian postal code pattern (e.g., 'A1A 1A1' with optional space) and contain valid characters (letters excluding D, F, I, O, Q, U in the first position if enforcing strict rules). This prevents undeliverable mail and reduces manual correction. If the format fails, the system should prompt the applicant to correct the postal code before submission.

Plan Number / Other Description Required When Provided as Primary Identifier

Validates that 'Plan No./Other Description' is present when the project cannot be uniquely identified by civic address alone (e.g., new subdivisions, vacant lots, or rural lots). This ensures reviewers can match the application to the correct parcel or planning reference. If missing in such cases, the submission should be flagged for follow-up or blocked until a plan/description is provided.

Contact Person Identity Completeness (First Name, Last Name, Firm)

Ensures the individual who reviews and takes responsibility for design activities has a complete identity record: First Name and Last Name are required, and Firm is required when the declaration indicates responsibility on behalf of a registered firm. This is important for accountability and audit trails. If incomplete, the form should not proceed because responsibility cannot be assigned to a specific person/entity.

Contact Address Completeness and Province/Municipality Consistency

Validates that the contact mailing address includes Street Number, Street Name, Municipality, Province, and Postal Code, and that Province is a valid Canadian province/territory value. This supports official correspondence and compliance notices. If the address is incomplete or province is invalid, the submission should be rejected or routed to an exception queue for correction.

Telephone, Mobile, and Fax Number Format Validation

Checks that Telephone No., Mobile No., and Fax No. (if provided) conform to expected North American numbering formats (e.g., 10 digits with optional country code +1, allowing separators). At least one reachable phone number (telephone or mobile) should be required to enable timely plan review communication. If numbers are malformed or no primary phone is provided, the system should require correction before acceptance.

Common Mistakes in Completing Schedule 1: Designer Information (14-0070)

The ones the AI is built to catch.

Leaving Project Information incomplete (address/lot/plan details)
People often enter only a partial address (e.g., street name without street number, missing unit/suite, or no city/postal code) or skip lot/concession and plan number/other description. This happens because applicants assume the municipality can “look it up,” but missing identifiers can delay intake, cause misfiled applications, or trigger requests for clarification. Avoid this by completing every location field that applies and matching the address exactly to the property records, including unit/suite and plan/lot details when relevant.
Mixing up Municipality vs. City/Town fields
Applicants frequently put “Toronto” in one place and leave the other blank, or enter a neighbourhood in the municipality field. This confusion is common because the form uses both “City/Town” (Project Information) and “Municipality” (Contact Information), which are not the same purpose. To avoid processing delays, enter the project’s city/town in Section A and the designer/contact’s municipality in Section B, ensuring both are filled when applicable.
Incorrect or inconsistent postal code formatting
A common error is entering an incomplete postal code, using the wrong format, or providing a postal code that doesn’t match the street address. This can prevent notices from being delivered and can slow down verification of the project location. Use the correct Canadian format (e.g., A1A 1A1), include the space if required by your system, and confirm it matches the address you entered.
Providing the wrong 'responsible individual' in Contact Information
Many submissions list an office administrator, permit runner, or general firm contact instead of the individual who reviews and takes responsibility for the design activities. This happens because people treat Section B as general contact info, but the form explicitly requires the accountable designer. Avoid rejection or follow-up requests by naming the actual responsible individual and ensuring their BCIN/qualification aligns with the design activities selected.
Missing or invalid phone/email details (or using shared inboxes without monitoring)
Applicants often omit telephone/mobile numbers, enter typos in email addresses, or use a shared email that isn’t monitored. The consequence is missed correction requests and longer approval timelines because staff cannot reach the responsible person quickly. Double-check all contact fields for accuracy, include at least one reliable phone number, and use an email address that will be actively monitored during review.
Selecting the wrong Design Activities categories (or selecting too many)
People frequently check categories that don’t match the scope (e.g., selecting “Large Buildings” for a small residential project) or check everything “just in case.” This usually happens due to unfamiliarity with Building Code Table 3.5.2.1 and the form’s category structure. Incorrect selections can trigger qualification/BCIN mismatches and additional review; only select the disciplines and building types you are actually responsible for and confirm your qualifications cover them.
Leaving 'Description of designer’s work' blank or too vague
A common mistake is writing generic text like “design” or leaving the description empty, especially when multiple disciplines are involved. Reviewers rely on this narrative to confirm scope, responsibility, and alignment with the checked categories. Provide a clear, specific summary (e.g., “architectural design for Part 9 house renovation; coordination of HVAC layout only”) and continue on the next page if needed.
Not choosing exactly one option in the Designer Declaration
Applicants sometimes check multiple declaration statements or fail to clearly indicate which declaration applies (firm-registered designer vs. other designer vs. exempt work). This happens because the options look similar and people assume more is better, but it creates ambiguity about the legal basis for qualification/registration. Select only the single statement that matches your situation and ensure the supporting fields (BCINs or exemption basis) are completed accordingly.
BCIN errors: missing, transposed digits, or wrong BCIN type (individual vs. firm)
Many forms include a blank BCIN, a mistyped number, or the firm BCIN entered in the individual BCIN field (and vice versa). This is common when copying from prior applications or when multiple staff handle the submission. These errors can cause the application to be put on hold for verification; always confirm the correct BCINs, enter them in the correct fields, and ensure they correspond to the declared role and selected design activities.
Claiming an exemption without stating a valid 'Basis for exemption'
Applicants often tick the exemption option but leave the “Basis for exemption from registration and qualification” blank or provide a non-specific explanation. This happens because people assume exemption is automatic for small projects, but the form requires a clear basis tied to the Building Code provisions. Avoid delays by explicitly stating the applicable exemption rationale and ensuring it truly applies to the scope of work.
Signature/date issues (missing signature, wrong date format, or undated declaration)
Common problems include forgetting to sign, typing a name without a signature where a signature is required, or using a date format other than yyyy-mm-dd. These mistakes occur because the declaration is on the second page and is easy to overlook. Ensure the responsible individual signs, prints their name, and dates the form using the required format to prevent the schedule from being deemed incomplete.
Completing Schedule 1 when it is not required (or omitting it when it is required)
Some applicants submit Schedule 1 even though they are exempt (e.g., certain licensed architects/engineers), while others fail to submit it when a BCIN-qualified designer is required. This confusion stems from the note about exemptions for OAA/PEO license holders and the multiple pathways in the declaration. Confirm whether your professional status exempts you; if not exempt, complete all sections and provide the correct BCIN/registration details.
