When it comes to construction or renovations in Ontario, you need more than just a beautiful vision—you need a designer who understands building code compliance, can provide permit-ready drawings, and still has the design skills to create stunning, functional spaces. At Lush Designs Studio, we proudly offer both BCIN Part 9 and BCIN Part 3 services, giving you access to a full-scope design-build team that simplifies your project from start to finish.

What Is a BCIN Designer (architectural designer) —and Why Does It Matter?
In Ontario, a Building Code Identification Number (BCIN) is required for any designer preparing plans for building permit submission. Designers are certified by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing under different categories, depending on the type of buildings they’re qualified to work on:
BCIN Part 9: For houses, townhomes, small buildings under 3 storeys and 600m², including renovations, additions, and accessory structures.
BCIN Part 3: For large buildings, mixed-use developments, commercial spaces, and multi-residential projects over 600m² or more than 3 storeys.
If you’re applying for a building permit in Ontario and your plans aren’t stamped by a BCIN-qualified designer (or an architect/engineer), your application may be denied or delayed. We ensure it’s done right the first time.
