Naramata is Electoral Area E in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, and RDOS lists building inspection service for Area E, including Naramata and Falconridge. That means Naramata builders should send any RDOS permit, inspection, planning, or Step Code instructions with the drawings instead of assuming the same workflow as a City of Penticton project.

Apollo supports Naramata Part 9 projects from nearby Penticton with Step Code compliance reporting, HOT2000 modelling, blower-door testing, mechanical input coordination, and the as-built report. The work is organized around the same file from permit through occupancy so modelling assumptions, site test results, and final documentation stay connected.

The cleanest starting point is a drawing set or share link, Naramata site address, RDOS or other AHJ instructions already received, current stage, target permit or inspection date, and any mechanical or ventilation notes. For broader regional context, see the Okanagan-Similkameen service area.

Permit stage

Attach RDOS instructions to the energy file.

  • Send the drawing set, Naramata site address, legal description if available, and builder/applicant contact
  • Include RDOS permit notes, inspection comments, planning comments, or Step Code forms already issued
  • Flag whether the project has planning or development permit conditions that affect drawings or elevations
  • Keep envelope, glazing, mechanical, and ventilation assumptions consistent between the drawings and model
Site visits

Plan Naramata visits around the useful milestones.

  • Book mid-construction testing while the primary air barrier is visible and reachable
  • Share access details early for hard-to-access or out-of-town sites
  • Have the builder, site lead, or insulator available if leakage repairs will happen during the test
  • Book final testing when exterior openings, envelope penetrations, and relevant mechanical systems are complete
Closeout

Keep construction changes from surprising the final report.

  • Send window, assembly, mechanical, ventilation, or airtightness changes before the as-built report is finalized
  • Bring final blower-door results and required mechanical documentation back into the same project file
  • Provide Apollo with any RDOS or AHJ comments received after permit issuance
  • Confirm what the builder or applicant needs to submit for occupancy-stage documentation
What to send

Give Apollo enough detail to price the Naramata scope.

  • Drawing set or shared drive link
  • Naramata site address, municipality/AHJ, and current project stage
  • Target permit, mid-construction, final test, or occupancy date
  • Known Step Code, F280, blower-door, ventilation, or as-built requirements already communicated
