SOURCE TRIAGE
Confirm jurisdiction and reviewer
Start with the regional permit source, then treat service pages only as published market examples.
- Comox Valley Regional District — PermitsStarting point for jurisdiction and permit checks; confirm the exact municipality and scope.
- Coastal Pacific — Crawl Space InsulationCompetitive result-set reference, not a specification authority.
- Siegfried Plumbing — DrainageShows drainage and sump work as a separate service category; no affiliation is implied.
