The
Solution
Addressing the development approval process challenge.
Defining the
Future Together
The One Ontario Platform acts as an orchestration layer between applicants and regulatory agencies. One Ontario provides a data exchange layer to connect disparate systems and streamline the notoriously complicated approvals process into a transparent, efficient one window experience.
The One Ontario Platform is Live
We are pleased to announce that after a successful pilot project, the One Ontario Platform is now live! Sign up to our waitlist to be among the first to have access to the platform.
The Challenge
Across Canada, the development approvals process is a complicated and costly process due to the lack of transparency and consistent methods.
Each application requires the involvement of multiple departments and agencies, each with its own set of rules and regulations. This fragmentation creates a lack of standard methods and procedures, leading to inefficient efforts and increased costs for all stakeholders. With little transparency into the decision-making and evaluation process, applicants must use significant resources to navigate this process successfully.
The current state of inefficiency is no longer sustainable and must be urgently addressed to improve slow development and the national housing supply shortage.

Streamlines Development Approvals Process
The current development approvals system is complicated, with limited visibility into decision-making and evaluation process. The absence of transparency often leads to redundant efforts, which prolongs the entire process and increases the workload for everyone involved.
By streamlining and standardizing the process, One Ontario provides a more efficient, transparent, one window experience for everyone involved.
Improves Data Exchange
There is an urgent need for connected and integrated systems that can collect, aggregate, and analyze housing and development data. One Ontario answers this call by standardizing application intake and allowing for easy access to key information.
By connecting key stakeholders and their systems, One Ontario facilitates data exchange in a standardized format, enabling better decision-making and more informed policy. With One Ontario, we can build a more connected, data-driven future for housing and development in Canada.
Without a data-driven approach, it will be difficult for the government to achieve sustainability targets like net-zero emissions. One Ontario’s BIM-enabled platform will make it easier to track sustainability metrics such as emissions, energy and water use, and embodied carbon.
