Submit an application to construct an alteration in an existing commercial space.

A Building Permit is required to construct a new building or structure, or to demolish, relocate, repair, alter or make additions to an existing one.

Use this application if you want to: 

• renovate an existing commercial space. 

This typically means that you plan to: 

• alter an existing commercial space prior to operating your business in this space, or
• you want to alter a space in which you already operate your business.

To change the use of a commercial or industrial space (for example changing a warehouse to retail), a Building Code Datasheet is required to be submitted with your Commercial Tenant Improvement application. See samples of required information below:

• Sample Change of Use – Building Code Datasheet
• Sample GFA, Tenant & Parking Analysis
• Sample Washroom Load Calculation

If public washrooms within the building are used for the space, a washroom load calculation is also required when changing the use of a commercial or industrial space, to ensure that there are enough public washrooms for the proposed change of use.  A sample washroom load calculation can be found here.

For all Commercial Tenant Renovation permits in Whistler Village, a Whistler Village Construction Management Strategy is required. Complete this form and submit it in conjunction with your Commercial Tenant Renovation application.

If you need further clarification, please follow the steps for architects, contractors or professionals.

All applications must be made in person at the RMOW Building Department front counter. The completed application package, two sets of applicable drawings and applicable engineering are required at time of application. Consult the application checklist for additional requirements that may apply to your permit application.
