Second Story Addition - Permit Drawings, Committee of Adjustments & Engineering
My project involved a second story addition to a bungalow in East York. I hired Jason's firm after a bad experience with another. I probably called about 10 architects that I found on homestars before hiring Jason, but went with his team through a referral from a neighbour. At the time, my Committee drawings were about halfway complete. Jason completed my drawings for the Committee of Adjustments in about a week (we were successful and received the variance), and it did not take him long to complete my full permit drawings. Jason is good to work with - a quality that is important when people like me (with limited experience doing construction) are involved in a project of this magnitude. He is timely, knowledgeable and patient. I found his ability to provide a rough cost for different options (e.g. 36" stairs vs. custom 42" stairs) to be particularly useful. As far as cost, I would peg Jason as being roughly in the middle of all of the people that I contacted. I should say, however, when taking into account the fact that he attends on site for structural inspections - it really is good value for the money. I have and will continue to recommend Jason and his team to friends.
