They have a great team with many years of experience and knowledge. Just to mention their service and punctuality exceeds your expectation. **★★★★ — Lynn Heale, Feb. 2021** > Scott was very good about implementing all the requests we made to the design of our dream home. There were quite a few revisions but he was patient with us and worked through all our concerns in a professional and timely manner. **★★★★★ — Yvana, Jan. 2021** > Scott has been amazing throughout the whole drawing phase of our custom home. We decided on a farmhouse style and chose Scott based on his experience and expertise and he completely went above and beyond for our project. He listened to our requests, ticked off all of our boxes, drew beautiful plans and kept us informed on the progress the whole way. > > Thank you Scott! **Comment from SAI Consulting:** > Thank you Yvana > It was a pleasure working with you. I am looking forward to seeing your new home progress,good luck on the build. **★★★★ — Mark Van Riemsdyk, Sept. 2020** > Scott was great to work with. His drawings were done promptly and to the specifications we wanted. He handled all dealings with the city to secure a variance and required permits. His fees were reasonable and exactly as quoted. **★★★★★ — Kiki Hamilton, Sept. 2020** > Scott was terrific to work with. He was responsive and patient with requests and provided high quality work. Would definitely recommend them for any projects. **★★★★★ — ravman, Sept. 2020** > Worked with Scott on a complicated infill. Very good to deal with, responsive and timely updates.. Highly recommend! Needed multiple updates due to changing requirements from the city, and was very understanding. **★★★★★ — Joey Harrison, Jan. 2020** > We hired SAI Consulting to completely remodel the façade of our bungalow. It was a comprehensive job that required the complete replacement of all exterior finishes; and windows. The job also included the addition of three new spaces (Timber frame Porch Addition; Timber Frame three season room and Garage with loft). Their craftsmanship was excellent and their service and responsiveness exceeded our expectations. Most importantly, SAI Consulting was extremely fair, reasonable and creative in their approach. I would happily use SAI Consulting again and would strongly recommend SAI Consulting to friends and family. **★★★★★ — Paul Troy, Nov. 2019** > Working with SAI consulting was a fantastic experience. He made the complicated process of designing a custom home easy and painless. He was able to capture my ideas into the plans and added some excellent ideas of his own. I highly recommend SAI Consulting. **★★★★★ — Nazmin Adatia, Oct. 2019** > We contracted SAI consulting/Scott Irwin after a thorough and lengthy search for a suitable architect/consultant for our potential custom built home. Scott was by far the most responsive, knowledgeable, reasonably priced, and experienced individual we met. A professional person, he was timely in deliverables, and provided invaluable and much appreciated guidance to my wife and I who have no prior experience with building a custom home. Scott is acutely aware of the steps that are required in designing a home from start to finish, and was able to take our desired features and put them on paper. He has surrounded himself with equally knowledgeable industry experts when it comes to obtaining the relevant approvals for the build. We would not hesitate to recommend Scott to anyone who requires these services: you don’t need a costly architect if you know what you are looking for. We are very pleased with Scott and his work. **★★★★★ — Patricia Garand, Sept. 2019** > Our experience with SAI was good. We contacted them to get a plan for a house extension. Their professionalism was very appreciated. They suggested intelligent and practical options and were very flexible with all the changes we made to the work in progress plan. We recommend SIA. **Comment from SAI Consulting:** > Thank you Patricia it was a pleasure working with you and i hope your project went well. **★★★★ — Terry Aghar, Dec. 2018** > Very pleased with the quality of work by the SAI team. The project was completed on budget but took more time then anticipated (extra 3 weeks). Scott, Herman and the carpentry team are seasoned professionals, provide solid advice from design to completion. It is not always easy to find a team with both technical ability and design strength. I appreciated their creative input, advice and the added touches throughout the project and look forward to working with SAI again. **★★★★★ — Stephen Foley, Nov. 2018** > SAI was amazing to work with on our home project. From the initial meetings to finalizing the plan through to the construction crew that arrived, the project ran very smoothly. > > Our project involved converting a screen-room into a four season room. We wanted to match the room as much as possible to our existing home in terms of style and finish and the final product looks amazing. > > The onsite crew was professional and great to deal with. > > The difference with SAI is that they actually care ! That goes a long way. ## Selected projects - [Melbourne Full Home Remodel and Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/melbourne-full-home-remodel-and-addition-pj-vj~2791005) - Location: Ottawa, ON - Photos: 35 - Description: This period home was fully renovated, to blend a new three-story addition into the existing plan.
