Orana

Honestly, a horrible experience from start to finish. Told us they uploaded the drawings to the City to start the permit process... timestamps show that didn't happen until almost two weeks later. The City came back to Deep twice for pre-screen corrections, and one time we can see that 11 days lapsed between the request and when Deep submitted the necessary paperwork. What should've been a smooth process was anything but. With several resubmissions over omissions and mistakes, we were slowed down tremendously by work that should've been done correctly the first time. I would recommend choosing a company other than Orana - save yourself the wasted time, energy and money.

They installed our fire alarms and inspected all existing fire safety features. Was a smooth process

Still waiting for the outcome before posting a review, I will revise this entry when I get the permits either positively or negatively, but we have hired Orana and it has taken a while. I understand my situation was complex but we did start the work.

My client bought a house and asked us to renovate. The house hadn't closed yet, so we were relying on the vendors good will to afford us access for a measure up in order to get the permit process started.
Deep was Hired to do as-built drawings as part of a building permit submission to City Hall. So... the drawing needs to be accurate.
Two weeks after the measure up...He said the drawings were complete.
We sent him an E transfer. He sent us the drawings.
Upon review, the drawings had several mistakes. (4' wide bath tubs, windows the wrong size, 36" thick foundation walls, closets where there are none, stairs that disappear into thin air... I could go on)
We asked Deep to come back again to re -do. The hard part was that we had to ask the vendor for another visit to make good OUR mistakes. (yes when they make mistakes, I take ownership of my sub-trade's work)
He sent the revised drawings to me again a week later...., Still wrong.
So now, I have drawings that I can't submit to the city and I have to pay someone else to do them properly AND I have wasted three weeks of valuable planning time ahead of my client closing.

I asked Deep to consider sending me a refund either in full or a partial amount. He declined.

if you want something vague and hope City hall doesn't see the mistakes.. Get Orana.

If you want an accurate set of drawings as part of a complete building permit submission... Get someone else.

Deep: I told you... All you need to do is be reasonable. Instead, you get this.

Oh!... And by the way. I am going to have your credentials reviewed... I don't see your BCIN number, Engineers License or an OAA number anywhere on your website . Do you even have any credentials??

if any one wants to discuss the sea of mistakes this guy made, feel free to contact me,

The Orana team did a fantastic job with my custom home design. They were always there for any questions needing answering and completed everything in a timely manner and within budget. They are very professional and great at what they do. I highly recommend Orana for any architectural design needs.

Found Orana on Homestars. Deep and Angad came out same day and took measurements for the structural drawings to remove a load bearing wall. Drawings were completed in agreed timeline and sent in for permit approval. Once permits was approved Orana delivered it to me

Deep & his team @ Orana recently completed a single family dwelling drawing for me. They were timely, effective, and super clear/honest. There were no hidden fees, and communication was smooth and effortless.

I’m an entrepreneur/landlord and working with people like Deep & his Orana team makes my life a breeze.

His drawings even received high praise from the Permit Inspection Team at the City of Toronto on their clarity & precision.

Highly recommended.

I spend all my savings on a custom home , I worked with Angad from Orana very closely. After spending this money I expected to be edgy and very commanding, Only to realize i was in good hands and I was at ease. Their Knowledge and service I received exceeded expectations, I am very happy and would recommend them to anyone. A satisfied and happy customer.
