Plumbing · Gas fitting · Heating
Two permits. One tradesman.
A legal basement suite in Calgary needs a plumbing permit and a gas permit — and a gas permit can only be pulled by a licensed gasfitter. Not by you, and not by most plumbers. Tim Ollivier is Red Seal certified in both trades.
Not here about a suite? No heat, no hot water, a leak — call Tim, any hour.
01 The deadline
remaining
The clock isn't ours. It's the City's.
Calgary's Secondary Suites Amnesty ends December 31, 2026. After that the City moves from voluntary compliance to enforcement — work orders, fines, and an order to stop collecting rent until a suite is legalized or decommissioned.

Two of the four are trade permits.
Turn each tag over and read who the City allows to pull it. Most homeowners have never been told this — and it decides who they are legally able to hire.

04 The work
Boilers, hydronics, in-floor heat.
Wet heat is its own trade inside the trade. It is also the clearest proof that the man reading your gas line knows what he is looking at.

Tell Tim what's in your basement.
Whether the suite is finished, half-finished, or still a drawing — the fastest way to find out what it needs is to describe it to the man who would have to sign for it.
