They presented us with 4 different options, all priced, with detailed pros and cons, and supported our final decision. He was easy to work with, on schedule, and very professional. I'd recommend him - and Incite - anytime. Please note that the project cost is for Incite's work, not the actual renovation - which was $35,000. **★★★★★ — karenf350, Dec. 2014** > We have been working with Incite Design since January of last year to change the exterior façade of our home and to landscape the backyard. Jeff and Graham are terrific to work with; they are professional, creative and attentive. They presented us with a design and then worked with us to personalize to our tastes. They made the connections for us with the contractor and brought in additional professionals as needed; they provided one stop service. As the project has proceeded, they have stayed close to the project and worked out any changes in design or materials that were needed. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Stephani Buchman Photography, Sept. 2014** > I worked with Jeffrey Veffer, Partner at INCITE Design, to photograph and document his Parmbell Project. Throughout our experience together, I found him to be professional, extremely thorough with keen attention to detail, a great communicator, as well as very easy to be with. > The project was a delight to photograph because of beautiful and thoughtful details throughout. The clean lines, and well-chosen materials were perfect fodder for stunning photography. I would not hesitate to suggest INCITE Design to anyone who is looking for Commercial or Residntial Design services, and I look forward to working with them again on future projects. **★★★★★ — parmbelle, Dec. 2013** > We are very happy with our relationship with Incite Design, their flexibility and willingness to listen were beneficial to how our project progressed. Both Jeffrey and Graham are consummate professionals with a personal touch. While they have designed some of the most beautiful high end homes in Toronto, they never made me feel like my project was anything but the most important on their agenda. Our new home is now far more livable and fits the needs of our family much better than we could have imagined. Their sense of design, knowledge of materials and vision were very helpful throughout the project. The plans for my new custom home provide functional space, with exquisite design elements that will give my home a timeless appeal. I will definitely recommend them to any of my friends who are even contemplating a project. **★★★★★ — windrich, Oct. 2013** > We worked with Incite Design on a seven-figure custom home that required a high degree of communication and co-ordination. They maintained an eye to keeping the highest quality of final product with a true understanding of how building systems interact and go together. > Their close attention to detail helped us avoid interfering with other trades on the job especially through many changes to the final outcome of the project. For anyone looking to embark on a construction project and looking for an honest, highly competent firm, I highly recommend Incite Design. **★★★★★ — manuelmanee, Oct. 2013** > I worked with Incite Design on a luxury custom house project that had many other trades. I was responsible for the HVAC and that meant I was working pretty much through the whole project. > > I really liked working with them. They have a good Overall sense of who had to do what and make sure I could get my work done by arranging other people to have things finished in time . When there was a problem we worked together to make sure it got solved. > > I would definitely recommend them because they really go above and beyond to make sure things get done right! **★★★★★ — nicolaray1, Sept. 2013** > Incite Design is a talented design firm that helped our family develop plans for our property in mid-town Toronto. They combine extraordinary creativity and a deep understanding of design with a practical understanding of how people actually live in these fast-paced times. > > They brought both creativity and design to our project. They came up with an idea that was far more stylish and functional than we had originally and their concept worked perfectly. They understood what we wanted to accomplish and the project came together very well. We would highly recommend Incite Design to others without hesitation. **★★★★★ — juliepu, July 2013** > If you want to experience a firm that genuinely listens to what you want, Incite Design is your go-to-firm. I would highly recommend Incite Design to any client that wants to intelligently create wonderful spaces without breaking the bank to do so. They (Incite) work well with the various trades and help us feel confident and excited about the project. They are very knowledgeable and present us with different options so we can make informed and rational decisions. We hope that many more clients will benefit from their expertise in the years to come. ## Selected projects - [UP House - Modern Living in Context](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/up-house-modern-living-in-context-pj-vj~557116) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 124 - Description: The genesis of this modern house started with a discussion about a dining area that could seat at least 14 for large family get togethers.
