Our Process
From Application to Approval
Pre-Application Review
We review the municipality’s requirements, the site conditions, and the proposed development to identify exactly which technical reports your application needs.
Scoping & Proposal
We define the technical scope precisely, flag site-specific constraints up front, and provide a fixed-fee proposal with a realistic delivery timeline.
Report Preparation
A licensed P.Eng. prepares your FSR, SWM, or other required report. Drafted, checked, and issued to submission standard — not a first draft.
Review & Coordination
We respond to reviewer comments directly and coordinate with municipal staff and agencies until your approval is issued. Included in scope.
Why Bous Engineering
We’ve Seen It
We’ve Seen It
From Both Sides.
Our engineers have worked inside municipal review processes. That experience changes how we write reports — and reduces your revision rounds.
Talk to an EngineerMunicipal Review Experience
We know what triggers a comment letter before we submit. Our reports address the concerns reviewers raise — because we’ve written those comments ourselves.
Direct Engineer Contact
You work directly with a licensed P.Eng., not an account manager. You can ask technical questions and get direct answers.
Fixed-Fee Pricing
Scope is defined upfront and pricing is fixed. No surprise invoices when a project gets technically complex or a comment letter arrives.
Ontario-Only Focus
We work exclusively in Ontario. Every municipality we operate in, we know the local staff, design standards, and preferred submission formats.

Review-Side Experience
Review-Side Experience
Before Bous Engineering, years inside municipal development review — reading submissions the way your reviewer will.
Development review experience on large-scale institutional and industrial sites, including campus-scale servicing, capacity, and grading.
Hundreds of submissions reviewed from the municipal side: the comments that stall approvals, the resubmission cycles that follow, and how both are avoided.

How Conservation Authority Requirements Shape Ontario Stormwater Design
Conservation authorities control stormwater approvals in Ontario through watershed-specific requirements that often exceed municipal standards—early engagement is essential.

Toronto's revised Foundation Drainage Policy, effective October 1, 2026, allows groundwater discharge to storm sewers under specific conditions — potentially saving mid-rise developers $1M–$3M in servicing costs.

About
Engineers Who Know
Engineers Who Know
the Review Side.
Bous Engineering was founded by licensed P.Eng.s who spent years working inside Ontario municipal review processes — reviewing the same kinds of reports we now prepare for our clients.
That perspective changes everything. We know what municipal reviewers look for because we’ve been on that side of the table. Our clients receive fewer revision requests, on average, than they did with comparable firms.

“Fast turnaround, clean reports, and direct communication with an actual P.Eng. That’s exactly what we needed for our infill project in Hamilton.”
“Their SWM report sailed through the RVCA review with no comments. First time that’s happened on one of our projects. We’ve used them on every project since.”
