In land development, a "Consent to Sever" is a critical step to unlocking property value. However, a severance application is incomplete without a professional Functional Servicing Report (FSR). At Reliance Engineering, we specialize in providing the technical engineering required to move your application through municipal approvals across Ontario.

What is a Functional Servicing Report?

An FSR evaluates how a proposed land severance will impact existing municipal infrastructure. It is a mandatory requirement to ensure the city’s water, wastewater, and stormwater systems can support your new lot. Without this report, your application will be delayed or rejected.

Key components of our FSRs include:

  • Water Servicing: Demand analysis and hydraulic capacity.
  • Wastewater Management: Sanitary sewer sizing and flow analysis.
  • Stormwater Management: Drainage assessments and stormwater management solutions.
  • Site Grading: Ensuring proper drainage and compliance with local bylaws.
