Erin was excellent in helping us through our design phase of our project. With the limitations of the house and what we could do, Erin was able to find a solution to satisfy our requirements. She made it simple dealing with the City for permits. Everything was taken care of with little hassle to us and in a timely manner!

We never hesitate to refer Erin Zagar, EZDimensions when a client is looking for design ideas and drawings for a renovation project. From designing house exteriors, to new kitchens, basements, or additions, Erin takes the time to find out what the homeowner wants and creates a perfect design. Erin is quick to respond to any questions relating to the design and follows through until the plans are approved and permits issued. Our clients are always pleased with her work, whether it's a job we referred her to or one where we were lucky enough to quote on one of her projects.

A true professional! I wouldn't recommend a designer to my clients that I did not trust. As a general contractor, I've had the pleasure of working with Erin's expertise, eye for detail, and enthusiasm on numerous projects over the years. She appreciates a challenge and always delivers!

Erin took on a project like no other - in this case a gazebo. She was very efficient to not only come up with plan, but also the follow up with the permits from the City. She listened to our needs and followed up with drawings so we wouldn't have any future stresses with unforeseen weather conditions of this time. She was also prompt to answer any questions. You can feel confident with Erin as she will do your plans in the utmost detail with nothing forgotten.

We worked with Erin on the design for a full scale renovation of our small bungalow and were overly ecstatic with the outcome. Over the course of a few meetings and other touchpoints, we were able to collaborate with Erin to bring our vision into reality across concept and final structural drawings. Erin helped us maximize the living space we had in our small bungalow through the innovative positioning of our stairs, closets, doorways, HVAC, pocket doors, and walkways. We appreciate all the input Erin provided through the course of our project while insuring we got the result we had been dreaming about.

We went from having no concrete plans on a full home renovation to having the house of our dreams. Erin took our many many MANY ideas, guidelines, and wants/needs and helped us figure out exactly what we wanted. She showed us what to expect up front with step-by-step guides to help direct our thoughts and break down the overwhelming prospects to manageable-easy-to-process steps. It was a multi-stage process that was smooth and painless. Erin is super skillful, and even during COVID everything went better than we expected. She handled all the permits, measurements, HVAC plans, etc, all while keeping us informed of timelines and processes that were out of our hands (namely the timeline of permit approval). If/when we have another house to renovate, we won't hesitate in contacting and working with Erin again.

We hired Erin to do the Architectural Design for our addition and she didn't disappoint. She followed the steps outlined during preliminary discussions, prepared first draft, made changes that we requested and the end result is exactly what we envisioned. When our demands were reasonable she changed the plan accordingly and she pointed when something can't be done because of structural issues or because the code will not allow it. She did her job on time and managed to get the permits from the city very fast. I can recommend her for your future projects.

Erin helped us with designing a second unit in our home. Erin's work included designing a functional layout maximizing space utilization, verifying zoning, providing architectural design documents, applying for permits, coordinating with the HVAC engineer etc. Erin is very experienced, skillful was very meticulous in her approach to our renovation project. She helped us understand the entire process along the way. We had changed our requirements quite a bit and Erin was very patient in listening to our needs and walking us through what would be involved in making those changes (budget, timelines etc.). I highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for an architect in any capacity (be it renovation, second unit or a new build).

Erin made our dream a reality! She worked hard during COVID to get us the working drawings through to permit. We were in lockdown during some of the time. She kept us in the loop and followed up with the city during the delay. She was knowledgeable, professional and detailed in her work. I would highly recommend EZDimensions to anyone who is thinking of doing renovations or an addition.

Erin was excellent and certainly alleviated the stress of navigating, planning, designing and permit follow up until completion of the project. All this was done during the Covid-19 pandemic. She had the in/out of navigating the city permits/drawings and discussions with the contractor and others she referred. Her communication and staying in touch with updates and keeping me informed certainly gave me the peace of mind and that was priceless. Erin's services is well worth the investment and more.

With 2 teenage boys and a dog, our cozy century home was starting to feel a little crowded. We had dreamed of an extension off the back of the house with basement for a while but didn't know where to begin. Erin at EZDimensions was so helpful in walking us through the entire project. She turned our rough sketch ideas into the extension design we had always wanted and helped navigate the permitting process. The ability to share design concepts and ideas with her though the Houzz app was awesome as it gave her an idea of our style preferences. We're loving our new space and only wished we had called Erin much sooner!

For first time going thru a major renovation Erin was the resource we needed to guide us thru a very daunting task of remodelling a 1928 cottage. She listened to our ideas and our concerns Designed and redesigned to get it just right! Her honesty and professionalism along with her experience and great ideas was just what we needed. And all via long distance! THANKS ERIN! Pictures and progress reports coming soon!

After being disappointed by other designers I was given Erin’s name and told she was good. She was more than good, in almost no time at all we had the drawings that were exactly what we wanted . One thing that struck us was the ideas that Erin came up with that worked around obstacles that were a problem, Erin made them go away. Another thing that was a concern for us was the work involved in getting the drawings passed by the city. We had heard all the stories about how hard it was to get this permission, Erin not only made the plans for our work but took to do with everything involved in getting permission, The only work I did was to put the notice of intent in my garden. Big thank you to Erin for her professionalism and designing skills.

Erin was both professional and patient to deal with. Knowledgeable about building codes but most impressively understood what we were going for in design and functionality. My wife and I couldn't be more happy with the results. An added bonus was Erin leading all discussions with the city in regards to a required variance and city approvals. We would certainly recommend her and use her again.

I used EZDimensions to design my basement apartment and I am so happy with the results. Erin helped me maximize the living space and provided several options for the entrance way. I wasn't sure what do with it so Erin came over and walked me through each option. Erin also helped me navigate the permit process. It was so easy to work with Erin.

Erin was great! She was attentive, thorough and on time, and was a sound advisor to me. She came up with great ideas I hadn't thought of, and was very respectful, yet honest, without being pushy. She definitely knows her stuff and has a great design sense! I would highly recommend her for any project you might have!

Erin was a pleasure to work with. She took the time to help us rationalize what it was we really wanted and help us with the context and fit within our neighbourhood.

We had a very pleasant and positive experience when we hired EZDemensions to design our back deck, which consisted of an outdoor living space and dining area. Erin's experience, knowledge and professionalism really put our minds at ease with such a large project. Erin was able to tell us what our obstacles might be with building permits, etc., as well as providing us with design suggestions to make the space as enjoyable and functionable for us as possible. She worked with the city building department and our contractor, throughout the project, alleviating that stress for my husband and I and the end result was a beautiful, much enjoyed and admired (by neighbors family and friends) backyard living space. I would hire again and highly recommend EZDemensions for any home renovations you may be considering.

We hired Erin to help us design a new layout for our bungalow and a new roof design to increase the height of the living room. Erin provided us with excellent ideas, and drawings to maximize the function and aesthetics of the new space. The new location of the front door was a great idea that Erin really pushed for, and we are happy she did. There were also some questions about how to design the kitchen and the final layout is beautiful, and functional, with a stunning island. During our long and major renovation we were always able to reach Erin to discuss questions or changes. We are very happy with how this project has turned out and would certainly use EZ Dimensions again.

I engaged Erin Zagar of EZDimensions to do drawings of my house for use in a building-permit application to restore the house after a fire. The work was done promptly, accurately, and to a high standard that greatly facilitated the application process. Ms Zagar provided printed drawings and digital copies as well as follow-up consultation. I would highly recommend EZDimensions for similar services.

We have worked with Erin of EZ Dimensions for several years on many projects. The projects were varied from a two storey addition to basements, kitchen renovations and upgrading the front of homes. Erin meets with our customers and goes through the process with them. She is available for questions throughout the project.

We hired Erin back in spring 2012 for our Home Renovation and it was one of the better decisions we made. Our home was built in 1920 and our addition required a well thought out design which Erin was able to deliver and help walk us through. Erin exceeded our expectations from her initial visit to discuss what we were looking for in our addition, right through to the final drawings completion and permit delivery.
