Full house reno and dormer addition
I hired Ben as the architect for my full house reno (complete gut) and dormer addition in Toronto. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my experience and would confidently recommend Ben to anyone who needs a qualified, reliable and highly competent architect.
Starting from my initial inquiry, Ben was quick to respond, provided clear and fair pricing, and set expectations on timing. I was looking to get moving on the project very quickly and Ben was able to come onsite on the weekend to take detailed measurements to kick things off.
From there he was able to move very fast, communicating with me over email, phone and Zoom to get all the drawings together to submit the permit application. When the city was taking too long to review it, Ben contacted the office and pushed to have the review complete (which was achieved successfully). Ben's experience and knowledge of the city review process and reviewers was particularly helpful. This was crucial as I'm sure the process could have dragged along further if Ben hadn't pushed for it.
I'm very glad I hired Ben for this project and I will definitely hire him again for my future needs.

Glad that it all worked out fine. The City examiner gave us a hard time by being on Holidays and taking some exams. We engaged the management in the City and pushed them to keep this project on track. Finally we got the permit issued in time for you to start and move in with your family in spring. Would love to come and see the finished home. What we did for you, can be done for your friends and family members, so please don't keep us a secret! B well.
