Whole House Renovation

Working with Arash has been a pleasure. He took the time to understand our requirements and design priorities, he prepared cost-effective solutions, and, when needed, he provided us with the facts so that we could make informed design decisions. He was thorough and effective at the same time, and our permit was approved faster than expected. Looking forward to working with you again on the next project.

Wall removal project

We have worked with UTES for the design component of a residential wall removal project to remove 2 load bearing walls and install 3 beams. Arash and his team were very helpful and they conducted their business in professional manner. Arash himself is a very resourceful and knowledgeable individual and I very much enjoyed working with him. As someone familiar with the industry I highly recommend UTES

Front Porch - Engineer drawings for Building Permit

We are extremely happy with Arash's work. We hired him to provide engineer specification drawings to rebuild our front porch. The drawings were accurate and appropriately detailed, he took care of the entire permit process from application to closing in a timely manner, and he was professional in all our dealings. When we ran into trouble with our contractor and the project, Arash stepped up to provide exceptional technical support to keep the project on track answering emails after business hours and advocating for us. We relied on him to help us and he didn't let us down. In sum, Arash is knowledgeable, conscientious and hard-working. We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

Legalizing Basement and Major Renovation Design and Permit

Arash is a true professional. we worked with Utes to complete our major renovation and create separate legal basement.

To ensure the project is being done according to the building codes and standards, we applied for construction permit from City of Toronto, and guess what the drawings got accepted within two weeks without any question. Arash not only helped us with the design and permit but also helped us to choose a contractor to do the job with a reasonable price.

Arash was very dedicated, meticulous and detail oriented. All the work was completed within given timeline, which included providing drawings with considering our concerns and requests and support the contractor during the construction period. City inspector was more than happy to see the quality of work done.

Highly recommended!

Arash and his team delivered commendable service

Arash and his team delivered commendable service in the architectural, structural, and mechanical design of my Kawartha Lake cottage, including permits and site plan approvals. While their expertise and efforts were praiseworthy, there were occasional back-and-forths and delays during the resubmission stages dealing with the Township and Conservation Authority. Nonetheless, their overall performance helped us achieving our goals in an efficient and quality manner.

Architect for my Garden Suite

Arash and his team are very professional. I reached out to many architects before choosing arash and found that he had the most knowledge, skill and professionalism for this job. I knew it wouldn't be easy but he honestly made the whole process go very smoothly. He knows all the by laws and understands the whole process of the committee of adjustments. He worked with the planning department and his drawings complied with what they were looking for and we went through at the committee. My fiancé and I cannot thank him enough for his hard work. Right now we are in the process of now getting the permit and I have faith that we will soon hopefully have it and be able to build in a month. Again this would not be possible without arash and his team.
