Hoyt Design Co.

Ryan's attention to detail and professional team are what make dreams reality. The RHD team knowledge and timeliness is much valued.

Ryan and his team are a great find for our company. We were referred to them through our engineer some time ago and unfortunately we did not follow up on the recommendation until recently. I say unfortunately because the process we went through with Ryan was a breathe of fresh air! He is a true pro - knows construction coupled with a great intuition for aesthetic. His timelines were tight and he stuck to them. If you are considering using Ryan to design your home, you will not regret it for a moment. He has already been involved in some amazing projects but I have no doubt that they will just keep getting more incredible as he and his team gain more and more renown.

We have known and worked with Ryan Hoyt for over ten years. Ryan has designed over 15 residential projects for us, ranging from additions, renovations and decks to high end custom homes. Listed below are some of Ryan’s assets: -He has ability to balance good building practices with affordable approaches to design; -His drawings are clear, clean and easy to understand, making them desirable for subtrades to produce accurate estimates and builds; -He keeps up with current design technology; -He is well-versed and current with ever changing Building Codes and Zoning By-laws to make the building project’s application for building permits a smoother process; -He conducts himself in a professional manner, is very accommodating and an honest businessman. Ryan is also an excellent candidate for designing plans due to his full scope of construction experience. He has physically been involved in the entire construction process, including design, estimating, building permit applications, material takeoffs, preparation of critical paths, project management through to completion, including obtaining Occupancy Permits. He has also designed some of our projects that have won a Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellent (CARE) Awards. Ryan’s above experience gives the Owner an advantage in that Ryan understands the complete scope of the construction process and that it involves more than drawing/designing a home or addition. He understands affordability and practicality, while creating a unique and exciting structure. We would highly recommend Ryan Hoyt to anyone wishing to hire a designer.

I am a general contractor. Ryan designed 2 beautiful, unique homes for me this past year. He is very talented indeed. From the layout through construction details, I found the process with Ryan a pleasure. He is a very knowledgeable, creative professional, navigating the building code and zoning requirements with ease. I would use him again on my next project and recommend him highly to others!

I was very pleased with the knowledge and skill applicable to the project as well how quickly the drawing packages was completed. Very pleased with the professional drawings as well.

Ryan Hoyt Designs helped us prepare new plans for a complete renovation of our home. The site had a number of challenges and Ryan was extremely helpful in adjusting the plans to the limitations of the existing structure and site. Ryan was particularly helpful in dealing with certain planning issues with the local municipality and arriving at solutions that allowed us to move forward with our project. Ryan was prompt and professional in all the aspects of our renovation. We highly recommend Ryan Hoyt.

Ryan Hoyt Designs Inc. created our custom new home plans. As we are novices at building, and the process, we appreciated all the detailed work that went into the plans. We also appreciated the patience Ryan had in the development of our unrealized ideas. Due to the topography of the land the plans had to be customized. We were delighted with the outcome and the timely service we received. Thank You Tom and Maureen Burton

We contracted with Ardmore Construction for the design/build project for a new home in North Saanich. Ardmore teamed with Ryan to do the design of the custom home which began from a series of ideas and suggestions to a complete design of our home. Our dealings with Ryan were very constructive; he listened to what our needs and wants were and incorporated them and his own ideas into the design of our home. WE are completely satisfied with the finished product.

Ryan, we can't thank you enough for navigating us through the design and development variance process. Although we've built several homes, this was our first attempt at developing lots before being able to build on them. Ryan's expertise in this area has been a tremendous asset to us. Ryan has also designed the perfect modern/contemporary homes for our little city lots. With his ability to negotiate with city officials, we achieved more lot coverage than we'd dared hope and that means we'll be bringing a much more livable home to the market. Ryan's so easy to work with, the whole process was a real pleasure. Can't wait to do it again, and can't recommend him highly enough. Get in touch...you won't be disappointed.

I own a large renovation/masonry company in Victoria and refer Ryan Hoyt Designs constantly. All of our larger projects require lot's of planning, drawings, permits, engineering and sometime variances. Ryan is where we begin the planning process. He's also our first impression with potential clients in regards to our sub trade network, which is very important. Ryan has never lets us down, but he consistently build us up! He's professional, organized and most importantly has excellent communication skills. He meets deadlines, expectations and puts in the extra effort when required to make things happen when projects get complicated. These are the details I find very important, as we always have lot's of projects on the go. Of coarse the design and ideas are always spot on, but it's all the little details that really add up in the end for me. Ryan Hoyt Designs is a Five Star company.

We are currently mid project with Ryan. He is skilled not only at translating our concepts into pleasing design but just as important his communication skills are excellent. Ryan is definitely a respectful, talented team player. We discovered Ryan Hoyt Designs and Ardmore Construction through a friends who had them design and build their custom home. It was done with attention to detail and workmanship ; just what we wanted in designing and building our home. Phase 1 the shop/barn/office is almost complete. Phase 2 is our home, and I'm sure we'll have more to say as this progresses.
