Send the Oliver permit checklist with the drawings before mechanical and ventilation choices are locked in. I use those inputs for the pre-construction model, report, and included F280 block load.

My Oliver work follows three stages: Pre-Construction Energy Modelling and Reporting, Mid Construction Blower Door Testing, and Final As-Built Blower Door Testing and Reporting. TECA ventilation checklist support and HRV or ERV design and commissioning are also available as separate services.

For a quote, send the drawing set or share link, Oliver address, current stage, target date, and Town comments or forms already received. Check the Oliver requirement record and confirm the active submission path with the Town.

Local requirements

Oliver permit forms and supporting-document lists can change. Confirm the current checklist with the Town building department.

Permit inputs

Separate the required documents from later design work.

  • Send the current Town checklist and plan-review comments
  • Identify whether a mechanical contractor has been selected
  • Provide window, assembly, and equipment information available now
  • Confirm whether the mechanical contractor or Apollo is completing the TECA checklist
Testing and closeout

Use the mid-construction result before final testing.

  • Use a mid-construction blower door test (pre-drywall test) if the builder wants early leakage feedback
  • Use the leakage list to complete accessible repairs
  • Book final testing when the completed envelope can hold pressure
  • Send final project information before the as-built report is prepared
Builder questions

Questions builders ask about this region.

Can Apollo help with a TECA ventilation checklist?

Yes. I can complete the TECA ventilation checklist when the builder needs it. HRV or ERV design and commissioning are separate services.

Should I book a mid-construction blower-door test?

Usually. A pre-drywall test lets the crew find and seal leakage while the air barrier is exposed. That is easier than chasing leaks after finishes are installed.

What should I send for a quote?

Send the drawings, Oliver address, current stage, target date, and Town checklist or comments already received.
