Architect

Alex and his team are professional architects that helped my fiancée and I to design our first home. Alex was always very quick to answer any questions we had and was willing to track down bylaws relating to our building issues. If you want a honest architect that is competively priced and talented Cadaxxdesigns is a solid choice

Existing house drawings, new design and building permit application

The day after learning about Alex and his company, he came to our house and gave an estimate for the cost of work. He was courteous and efficient and we were very happy working with him. Whenever we had a question or a change to our plans, he was able to respond to us very quickly. Communicating all of our little details was so easy. I highly recommend Cadaxx Design and will use their services again!

Interior Reno, Exterior Reno

I want to thank Alex for all his hard work in putting my napkin vision into professional plans, and for sticking with me through the unexpectedly long permitting process with the City; I feel like I've known Alex for years when it's only been months, and that's just because we've exchanged so many emails!

Getting these renovation plans completed was a real learning experience, and Alex was always patient and agreeable to any changes until the final plan was just the way I wanted. We had interior and exterior renovations on the same plan, then had to divide it into two applications and re-submit to expedite the zoning approval on the interior, while going to Committee on the exterior (which is still pending, so I may be back to change my referral rating, lol). Despite all the extra work that neither of us expected, Alex was very accommodating and reasonable in the additional charges that arose as a necessary consequence from splitting the plans and changes in my design based on City zoning laws - and, most importantly, I never once felt l overpaid.

So, though we had some frustrating times (due to the City, mainly), Alex always came through with prompt attention to my phone calls and emails, and was always willing to adjust draft after draft until I was completely satisfied with the way it all looked. His fees were very fair, and I would recommend him in the future.

Billy,
Thank you for your review! It was (and is) indeed a long process, but we have enjoyed working with you and making sure you were satisfied with the final drawings, as well with the fees. Looking forward seeing the final result!

Interior Renovations

I was in need of Building Permit to renovate the kitchen and remove load bearing wall. Alex from Cadaxx Design helped me to understand my needs by providing his expert opinion and explaining the process in "plain English". The permit was delivered on time and my contractor could proceed with the job without a delay.

$1,500.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Contact the Building Permit issuer as early in your renovation process as possible.

Rear deck permit

Make sure you get all on paper, you might get half of the job done. Customer service-none. Told my wife that "she is not important enough to get a call back"

Dear Gary,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with our company was not positive.
Great customer experience and satisfaction is very important to us so we would like to use this critical feedback as base for improvement.
We were hired to legalize an unlawfully built deck. We provided the necessary drawings, submitted to the city, and received a legal permit in a timely manner.
In your review, you mention that only half the job was done; You are referring to the fact that we didn't construct the deck, that is because Cadaxx Design does not offer construction services.
We apologized for this confusion.
You indicated that if construction service was not offered as part of our quote, that our price was very high. As a goodwill towards your unhappiness with us, we did offer to price match a quote from any other design company. As of today, we have not heard back from you.
Once again we are sorry that your experience with us was not positive, and we will take this as a learning experience for the future.

Front Porch and Interior work permit

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

I required a building permit and drawings to enclose a front porch and move existing windows/doors,and inside retaining wall.I called Alex at Cadaxx Design ,he agreed to meet me the next morning at my home, he spent the whole morning with me listening to what I had in mind,(even drinking my terrible coffee without complaining)..He made several suggestion which i hadn’t though of,told me the price for everything and when i agreed measured the whole house.a week later he submitted several drawings,I picked the one I liked most asked for some small changes which he obliged and then submitted and obtained the necessary permits far sooner then i expected.I found Alex to be a very easy and helpful person to deal with and created an excellent design for me.I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for an architect . His prices are fair and reasonable and exactly as he quoted.It was a pleasure to deal with him.

Architectural Drawings

Alex has helped us with architectural drawings for both our deck (September 2012) and our garage (2011/2012). It is always a pleasure to work with him. He is quick and efficient. He listens to your requirements and "vision" and is willing to amend his drawings when you have additional ideas, amendments, wishes or corrections. Alex also assists with obtaining the required permits from the City, which is extremely helpful. We would absolutely recommend hiring Alex.

Design for second storey addition

I have been very impressed with Alex and his team at Cadaxx. The first thing that struck me about Alex was his professionalism and willingness/ ability to listen closely to my ideas and vision. The second thing that struck me about him was his insightful ideas and suggestions as well as his ability to transfer our ideas into a truly beautiful and functional design. We are well into the design and permit process for the addition, and I have full confidence in Alex and his team moving forward.

Open Concept Living Area/Kitchen, 2nd Storey Addition

Alex and the folks at Cadaxx Design were excellent. They helped us with two projects and I would highly recommend them. We have plans for two other projects in the future and I wouldn't hesitate to call them.
Here are the reasons I would recommend them
- excellent communication
- Quick turn around
- quality drawings
- superior knowledge of the permit process resulting in quick permit turnaround
- focused on my (customer) needs to ensure the designs were turned around promptly and the permit applications were submitted promptly
- easy to deal with (over the phone, email, electronic invoice payments)
