Building Designers in Mount Pleasant

“Mauro truly is an expert when it comes to structural considerations. He's well versed in all the fancy beams and has fantastic handle on the best building materials to use for each application. His extensive knowledge from a technical perspective is so helpful throughout the building permit/inspection process. You're in good hands with Mauro, he'll look after your home as he would his own.”

“I contacted The Building Permit Guy to help me work through the hurdles of renovating a rental property (house) in Hamilton. John was a consummate professional, knowledgeable and friendly, who listened to my concerns and provided insights to guide my decisions. His designs were top-notch and he took the time to cover every problem I encountered. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great design work and to speed up their permit process!”

“My wife and I have worked with Richard on several projects, from a bedroom addition to cottage retreat and finally art studio transformation. We keep coming back to Richard, because in addition to his architectural problem-solving skills we always know that we can count on his creativity, attention to detail, and excellent project management abilities. From the beginning design consultations to product selection and placement, no detail is overlooked and Richard's own enthusiasm for our projects almost seemed to eclipse our own. Richard's attention to detail begins with the first client meeting, making sure that he understands your vision above all else before he ever picks up his pencil to create. In working for us, he helped transform an attic space of our home into a stunning master suite, bringing transitional elegance that gave needed spark to our space, while respecting the historic integrity of our century home. Later, when we bought our northern getaway, he transformed the drafty, characterless barn of a building that we had purchased, into a truly one-of-kind masterpiece that was at once a home, and at home in its setting. Later, I came to know Richard as an artisan supplier on some of his projects. Through this I experienced his attention to the overall project vision and client expectations from behind the scenes. And, like any good conductor, he made sure that all of the contractors on the project were in tune and playing together, so that the final melody was harmonious and advanced to the final vision and to the client's ultimate delight. I would have no hesitation recommending Richard for any project, from the mundane to the marvelous.”

“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.”

“Joel was amazing to work with. He got right into my head and created a home that met and exceeded my expectations. He was very insightful right from the beginning, from home placement on the lot to making the home appealing and functional. Joel was a wealth of information and provided me with not only products to choose from but an endless list of quality tradesmen to help with the project. The house is going to be featured in Canadian Homes and Cottages in October 2012.”

“10/10 recommend! The team at Southwood Homes exceeded our expectations with their swift and efficient design process for our new detached garage. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome, which perfectly complements our home. We highly recommend Southwood Homes for any home design project.”

“I am very happy and pleased with Jeronimo's work. He is eager and enthusiastic to get the job done to a high standard. Highly recommended.”

“Any time I've worked with Nagy, he was very professional and honest. He listens to my needs and responds quickly. His knowledge, and ability to navigate the building department application process made our life easier. Nagy's team pays a great deal to detail and quality.”

“Our initial meetings with Graham were productive. He worked with our original sketches and produced a quick working budget for us. He was well versed with the regions bylaws and compliance issues and had an extensive understanding of heritage properties. Changes in financial circumstance have put a hold on our project but we know others who have since had excellent experiences with Graham and who too recommend him for large and small scale renovations. Graham Whiting is a brilliant addition to the Region of Waterloo brain trust.”

“We worked with BLR drafting & design on our new home. Bernie was able to work from our style selected through Houzz photos and put our ideas on paper in an efficient and timely manner. We switched from a two storey to a bungalow during our design and Bernie was able to seamlessly transition our look. Although the project is not yet complete, we have had numerous compliments on the design. We would definitely recommend BLR drafting & design.”
