Our process always starts with the client. We consult with the client to identify the scope of the project. Once an agreement has been settled, we conduct a site measurement, determine the condition of the building and confirm the scope of the project. We draft proposed plans and modify based on your feedback while ensuring a code compliant and structurally sound design. When the design is finalized, we submit a building permit application.

Projects such as Additions or Extensive Renovations that involve Load-Bearing removals or HVAC reconfiguration require additional consultations from an HVAC Engineer or Structural Engineer to finalize the design.

Site measurement typically takes 1 hour, but this varies depending on the scope of the project and the size of the building. We highly suggest that we are given access to all areas of the building to determine a more accurate layout of the as-builts.

The process typically involves a zoning review, building permit review and building permit approval. We prepare all the required forms and documents on your behalf so you don’t have to!

A building permit approval depends on various factors such as the scope and location of the project. A small project (i.e., Basement Second Units) may take between 2 to 6 weeks, while a larger project (i.e. Home Additions and Custom Home) can take between 2 to 4 months. The process also depends on which city is reviewing the project.
