The Process

Through a unique combination of engineering, construction and design disciplines and expertise.

Dream it_

Before we start designing your home we first meet with you to get a better understanding of who you are to develop a wish list that captures your needs and dreams. Once we have formulated this wish list, we then start creating a preliminary design

Design it_

Once we have established your needs, along with the parameters of your property, we then start to prepare design sketches, floor plans, elevations and 3D renderings. This is where we get creative and develop a design that is unique to you.

Approve it_

Technical drawings and/or permit drawings are developed next to coordinate with governing bodies such as, municipalities and conservation authorities to obtain building permits necessary to begin construction. These drawings are also used to acquire construction quotes and pricing.

Build it_

Once we have received your building permit, it is time to break ground and build your dream home! We offer support throughout the construction of your home and make regular visits to ensure your project is being initiated as planned.
