to adverse weather,
strikes, material or labour shortages,

owner's
control.
A MUNICIPALITY may issue a building permit for a portion of a building
or structure
before the design,
plans and specifications
for the entire building
or structure
have
been accepted,
provided sufficient information has been provided to the Municipality to
demonstrate
to the
MUNICIPALITY that
the
portion authorized
to be constructed
substantially
complies
with this
and
other
applicable
bylaws
and
the
permit
fee
' applicable to that portion of the building
or structure

the permit notwithstanding,
the requirements
of this Bylaw apply to the remainder of the
building

do so.

plans or specifications,

or warranty that the Building
Code or the Bylaw have
been complied with or the building
or structure
meets
any standard

by means of letters
of assurance in the form set out by the Building Code.
Prior to the

in circumstances
where
letters

the Building Code, this Bylaw and other applicable enactments respecting safety.
Notwithstanding section 18.1 of this Bylaw, the MUNICIPALITYmay attend the site from
time to time during the course of construction to ascertain that the field reviews
