How can we help?

Architectural designer reviews drawing set with construction manager to ensure nothing gets missed from design to build.

Design-Build

From concept to completion, we guide our clients through each stage of building their home for a seamless home building process.
Our process begins with an initial consultation to discuss ideas, timing and budget. To prepare for design and construction, we then complete a thorough site review and analysis. Once all site details are confirmed, we incorporate all visions, dreams and ideas into conceptual drawings of your new home. When drawings are complete, we submit for permits and finish the budget and timelines in detail. As construction on your new home gets started we lead and collaborate with a team of trades and suppliers that work with our experienced project manager and interior designers. Regular site visits and consultations with our architect designers to ensure that any further customization of the plans is incorporate in a truly spectacular finished project…your new home.
Our construction lead will supervise the site and schedule the trades in order to keep the project safe and moving as efficiently as possible. Our in-house design team for both interior finishes, landscaping and exterior finishes will work with you to ensure the finishes and style of your home match your needs and tastes. We know communication is one of the most important elements of a construction project. Over the course of the project, we provide a weekly summary of scheduled tasks in order to keep you fully aware of project progress.
Our personalized service continues well after your move into your new home. We ensure everything functions properly, you know how everything works and you are enjoying your new home.

LET'S CONNECT

Design

We provide architectural design services to develop a unique and creative solution to your project. Within the design process, we include conceptual, architectural and interior designs.
The design process is the beginning of any custom home, renovation or addition project. We are efficient and knowledgeable about all steps required to set you up for success and can support at any stage, whether on pre-purchase property assessment or site review.
Understanding how to prepare properly for construction, we assess your site thoroughly with reviews of site conditions, preparations, demolitions and zoning checks.
We then begin conceptual architectural designs, delivering beautiful hand drawn designs and renderings. Once aligned, we bring your dynamic vision to life through 2D or 3D renderings to outline a comprehensive and precise foundation for your completed architectural designs and working drawings for permit application.
The final step is with applications, which can be overwhelming. From permit applications to zoning by-law amendment applications, site plan approval applications, minor variance applications, consent to sever applications and dealing with conservation authorities and heritage planning.
Our team is ready to support and work alongside you and your construction team to ensure that all interior finishes and materials are artfully crafted, selected and installed.
