2 storey addition.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with David on planning a new addition for my home. I had a lot of trepidation going into the project. Right off the bat he had to deal with the confines of the space and my budget. It was his winning combination of skills in customer service and design that made it very easy for me.

A little knowledge is dangerous. It must have been a pain in the kiester for customer service during the planning process of a renovation. Despite the number of the hours I spent watching home shows on TV or Tiny House videos on You Tube, there was a steep learning curve in finalizing a feasible plan. David responsive and patient manner walked me through the process, which included a lot of UNlearning and the ugly work of managing (my unrealistic) expectations.

David extensive experience shined when he offer ideas that were game changers and demonstrated foresight. In my case, the game changers were relocating a washroom that would save a bedroom and consolidating the mechanical utilities of the house in the main unit of the property. As a landlord, I know his proposals will directly improve cashflow and the maintenance of the house. Lastly without prompting, David offered a design that could improve the resale of the property by keeping options open for the next owner down the line. Again it was his experience and creativity in finding solutions that brought specific and practical foresight. I truly appreciate he was looking out for my best interest.

I hope this feedback is helpful in your consideration.

Thank you so much M for taking the time to post such a thorough and thoughtful review, it means a lot. I don’t think you give yourself enough credit, your feedback and insight, your attention to detail and open mindedness were all assets that I pulled from while developing the design. Your knowledge of what worked for you and your ability to curate the layout were tremendously helpful and I think the end result was a proposal born from a very strong collaboration of likeminded individuals. I look forward to seeing how it all plays out! Thanks again and all the best!
