Professional Basement Suite Design & Permits

Transform your basement into a fully compliant, valuable secondary suite. Our service includes BCIN-stamped construction drawings, detailed site plans, and completed Schedule 1 forms to ensure full compliance with Ontario's Building Code. We manage the entire permit process, coordinating with engineers and specialists for a smooth renovation.

Preliminary Design

Concept layouts, massing studies, and initial plans that explore options, test feasibility, and set the overall direction for the project before detailed work begins.

Construction Documents and Bidding

Comprehensive drawings and specifications that clearly define scope and quality, enabling accurate contractor pricing, confident bids, and forming the technical basis for construction.

Multiplex Unit Designs

Maximize your property's potential by converting single-family homes into legal duplexes, triplexes, or fourplexes, or redeveloping commercial spaces into residential units. We also specialize in adapting heritage properties into multi-unit homes. Investing in multiplex properties in Toronto can increase your property's value by 25-40% and provide stable rental income.

Design Development

Refinement of the chosen concept into coordinated drawings, outline specifications, and key material and system decisions so the design is fully ready.

Contract Administration

Professional oversight during construction, including site reviews, review of contractor submissions, and interpretation of the contract documents to help ensure the work is built as designed.

Toronto Laneway Design Services

Utilize underused laneway space by creating functional, detached residential units, garden houses, or studio spaces. We offer custom designs that optimize space, light, and privacy while adhering to Toronto's zoning laws. A laneway project adds housing, boosts property value, and contributes to a vibrant neighborhood.
