Building designer

Ron did the drawings for my shop 8 years ago. He was reasonably priced, did a great job and was fast to get them to us. He also just seemed like a genuinely nice guy. No issues with the building inspector when we built. Solid choice

Our mock ups look great and came back to us very quickly. Did all of our requested changes very timely, great experience.

I am shocked that NCD asked for a review when we were clearly disappointed with their work for 90% of the process. They clearly cannot read between the lines.Here is a list of things that went wrong by using NCD:1. They built our garage way too small without consulting us. It was 19 feet wide and we have two cars. A standard garage is 20 feet. We had to submit the DP again to get a better sized garage because the one NCD designed was not acceptable.2. They didn't design an eavestrough for our front pergola so water kept dripping onto our steps and freezing during winter which turned into ice. We ended up having to hire someone to install the eavestrough to stop the water from dripping down onto our steps.3. A lot of the electrical switches placed in the house doesn't make any sense. We end up having to install pico switches all around the house so that the switch is more easily accessible.4. Near the end, we hired a different Architectural designer to fix all of NCD's mistakes, unfortunately, not all the mistakes could be caught. Our new Architectural designer revised the front elevation which made the house so much grander (which I'm sure NCD is taking full credit for even though it is not their design). He also fixed the layout of the upstairs bathroom, laundry, and master closet so there's less dead space. Our new Architectural designer spent countless hours working with NCD to retrieve our files and trying to convert the files into AutoCad which NCD does not use. They use an archaic system that is not user friendly. NCD was also quite unresponsive and uncooperative when our new Architectural designer was trying to retrieve the files. This was very costly to us because we get billed by the hour from the new designer.Overall, it was an unpleasant experience working with NCD. We heard many times from our contractors/builder that the design work is of a junior level competency.The architectural design of a house is literally the most important part of the building process. It is the foundation. It will make or break the house. We wished we never went with NCD and did more research with which company we should have gone with. Unfortunately, we never chose to work with NCD, it was assigned to us by our first builder who is unscrupulous and we already paid a deposit for the architectural work with NCD.

We were referred to CCS from friends when wanting to put an addition on our house. From the beginning Carl, Chad and Scott and team have been great. They made the process easy from the design stage through construction all the way up to completion. Very responsive to our questions.I think the best part was how professional our neighbours perceived them as well. They were there almost everyday until the job was completed and they always cleaned up the site after every shift. The trades were always timely and equally as professional.If you’re looking to get some work done, don’t look elsewhere!

UDC design is one of the best companies I have come across. Mr. Bilal was very calm throughout the process of design and he went beyond his way to help us complete our project in time.

I was lucky enough to work with Fiztech for my first Dollar Store location and I am so glad I did! Muhammad was extremely professional and helped me with all the paperwork and questions I had a first time building developer. Even after finishing my project, they continue to guide me with advice and resources to expand our chain! I will definitely be contacting Fiztech for our other dollar store locations!

Talented and dedicated professional with tons of experience in home renovation and construction. Saved thousands of dollars worth the basement construction cost with their expert advice.

Gary at Jags architects has been really professional, we used jags to design our kitchen extension and Gary has supplied us with both Architectural and building drawings. Jags have supplied us with several iterations of these and nothing has been too much trouble for them.I would thoroughly recommend them for the excellent service they provide.

Our experience with DecoPlan Inc. was brilliant from the beginning and Amal was a delight to work with. She helped us with our drawings & guided us through the whole permit process and was able to meet our tight timelines. She is a great communicator and always responsive to client questions and concerns. She is a thoughtful designer, remains open minded and will consider alternative suggestions without hesitation.Bottom line - Amal really cares about her clients and she made this whole process really easy. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

As I did, you'll find Geoff to be honest, straight forward and easy to work with.
