In-house design support for a smoother
A lot of renovation stress comes from unclear planning. Our in-house designers help you organize the scope, clarify drawings (as required), and guide you through the next steps so your project starts correctly.
What we help with
We support homeowners with planning and permit readiness for renovations, additions, and structural work.
- Scope planning: what you want vs what’s realistic
- Layout guidance and design direction
- Permit-ready documentation support (as needed)
- Planning around timelines and project sequence
- Project coordination to keep things organized
Every project is different — the best next step is a quick consultation so we can understand your goals and guide you properly.
Request a ConsultationWhen permits are typically needed
Requirements depend on scope and property conditions. Here are common cases where permits are often involved.
Structural changes
Removing/adding load-bearing walls, beams, or major framing changes.
Additions & expansions
Sunrooms, rear/side additions, garage conversions, and footprint changes.
Basement apartments
When adding a separate unit or major plumbing/electrical layout changes.
Garden suites
Backyard living spaces usually require approvals depending on zoning and design.
What to prepare before we meet
This helps us understand scope faster and give clearer next steps.
- Your address and a brief description of the work
- Any photos/videos of the area (even phone photos)
- Your target timeline (when you want to start)
- Any inspiration links (Pinterest / examples)
- If available: existing drawings or previous permit documents
Common questions (quick answers)
These help set expectations before we meet.
Do you provide quotes without a site visit?
No — accurate pricing depends on location conditions and scope details. We start with a consultation.
Do all projects need permits?
Not always. Requirements depend on the type of work. We help you understand what applies to your project.
Can you guide us if we don’t know where to start?
Yes. That’s the point of the planning step — we simplify the process and outline next actions.
