    Meeting Calgary’s Healthcare Standards

    All our projects adhere to Calgary’s Building Code (CBC), Alberta Safety Codes, and municipal bylaws, including:

    • Occupancy Classification & Fire Ratings: Retail units must have proper fire-rated demising walls, exit signage, and access/egress per occupancy limits.
    • Barrier-Free Design: Entryways, POS counters, and washrooms must meet accessibility standards including door widths, turning radii, and handrails.
    • Ventilation & Energy Efficiency: HVAC upgrades or alterations must meet NECB guidelines and energy modeling requirements if systems are changed.
    • Lighting & Electrical Load: Adequate lighting levels and power supply planning are required, especially for stores using high-wattage display fixtures or refrigeration.
    • Change of Use Permits: Any space being repurposed (e.g., from office to retail) requires a formal change of use permit to ensure zoning alignment.

    Westaim handles all permit applications, coordination with inspectors, and drawing submissions to ensure full compliance and smooth approvals.
