Architalcan Design Inc.

I worked with Rocco at Architalcan Design to design and apply for a permit with the city of Toronto to move our staircase. Rocco was extremely responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. He always responded right away, even responding to my emails at 10PM and weekends, when I would have questions or sent him updates. He was one of a few structural engineers that I called and I instantly felt that he was the best fit (at a very reasonable price).Due to some concerns about the scope of the renovations from our contractors (HVAC, water lines etc.), Rocco made multiple updates to the drawings and charged very fairly for the updates. He was patient and listened until the drawings were exactly what we wanted and our contractors had no more concerns.The process of applying for the permit was a breeze, since Rocco took care of the communication with the City and application process. Even with COVID, we received approval from the city within a week.I would highly recommend Rocco and Architalcan Design to anyone looking to do major renovations and structural changes to their house.

Architalcan Design Inc was amazing to work with and designed a beautiful and functional home for my family and I. We are about to build and looking forward to seeing our vision come to reality. We already get a ton of compliments on the drawings. I'd recommend Rocco and his team to anyone.

Rocco came in last minute to help with a basement renovation- got in took his measurements drew the plans and came up with a solution for our technical problem. Fast and efficient highly recommend

My 2nd engagement with Rocco, and it's been a stellar experience like the first one! Fast, efficient and thorough! I needed some renovations done and within a week, all the drawings, permit application was completed and submitted! Architalcan looks out for the best interests of their clients!

The fastest in Town...My sister and i hired Rocco's services to do drawings for a second floor addition in York. He was fast and applied for building permit and committee of adjustments in a very short time coming back with the approval and approved drawings with the respective permits!Punctual and experienced...Highly recommend to all those in need good services!

The Rocco team offers exceptional architectural services. The team listens attentively and always provides great consultation. I highly recommend Architalcan Design Inc as they genuinely take care of their clients. There is always a positive vibe and great energy around them.

I hired Rocco at Architalcan Design based on his google reviews to do a drawings for me over 1 year ago. All positive reviews seem to be fake. He has over 4 different google listings because he creates a new account to try and hide all his previous bad reviews.When my contractor started construction, he ran into on site problems because of mistakes on the drawings he did for me.The contractor and then myself tried to reach out to him over 20 times combined. When we finally did get him to answer our calls and told him of the mistake on his drawings. He gave me an outrageous price to make the correction. He did this knowing I was stuck and couldn't use anyone else because he had all my home measurements.When I questioned him why he was charging me in the first place and why his quote was so high, he lost his patience, began to yell and threatened me.He said and I quote I know you have no where else to go and I'm the only one that can make these corrections quickly. The price is the price

Rocco and the team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only did they provide quality work in a timely manner, they acted as an advisor providing constructive input throughout the process. Will be doing business with them again and referring them to anyone in my network who is looking for a quality architect.

Rocco and team is very professional. They were very quick to respond to our request and made appropriate changes in very timely manner. I will definitely recommend Architalcan Design Inc Team if you are looking for professional work done. Keep up the good work Guys.!!!

My partner and I hired Architalcan Design for a massive redesign of our property, including retail and residential units, a main floor and 3rd story addition as well as a basement extension. Rocco and his draftsperson took care to understand our vision and our needs, and to balance this with the City by-laws and history of the building. Rocco resolved issues and responded whenever we reached out, whether he was in Canada or Italy, to ensure the plan was properly executed. When we were faced with challenges by the City, Rocco advocated for our project and worked with the City to get the permits through the entire process. When we were faced with challenges during the basement excavation with our initial contractor, Rocco came to our rescue to recommending first rate builders from his rich source of professional acquaintances to get the job done and done well by the best. The best part of all, is that Rocco made sure that we could stick to our vision even when times were tough throughout the project, that is the true art of being an architect.
