Eco Homes in Kitchener.

“Working with Studio M and Marie Marx in particular was a joy from beginning to end . Marie oversaw a significant project including a complete kitchen renovation and addition to second story to transform a small master bedroom into a master suite complete with a sitting room, dressing room and high end four piece ensuite. Marie designed the changes, drew the plans, obtained the building permit, hired the contractor, oversaw the construction, chose the materials and finally completed the interior design. Amazing professional. Considering the size and scope of the project, there were very few glitches and Marie adeptly handled any that did arise. One year later we still love the renovation and would change nothing. I cannot recommend Studio M highly enough to anyone looking to work with a skilled, talented professional with a keen sense of design.”

“Mauro truly is an expert when it comes to structural considerations. He's well versed in all the fancy beams and has fantastic handle on the best building materials to use for each application. His extensive knowledge from a technical perspective is so helpful throughout the building permit/inspection process. You're in good hands with Mauro, he'll look after your home as he would his own.”

“Murray Arnott and my wife and I have been working together for the last 2 years on a new Post and Beam Home design in Ventnor NJ, on the waterfront. My experience with him has been nothing less than fabulous. Murray is a consummate professional, a true artist in every sense of the word, with a seemingly unbridled sense of imagination. If you can envision it, he can design it. And where my vision struggles, his suggestions seem to be spot on. Murray was kind enough to rescue me after a failed attempt with another architect where the chemistry turned out to be less than adequate. Instead, murray's gentlemanly nature and easygoing demeanor set the tone which allowed me to describe, receive sketches, tweak them, describe some more, tweak some more, until we achieved a near 8000sq ft home on the water with a very large workout room with steamshower and sauna, game room, wine cellar, office, gourmet kitchen, 5 bedrooms 6.5 baths and a 2nd floor indoor pool and spa off the Den (secluded from the rest of the house appropriately of course). I didn't realize until half way through this project that Murray is actually quite the International award winning home designer. Not why I chose him and not why we are together at all, though it's quite the icing on top. The reason I was so attracted to Murray is because his designs, in general which illustrate so wonderfully curvaceous indoor outdoor living in log home and post and beam designs are just........quietly elegant and drop dead gorgeous. Look him up and see for yourself. We have just received our variance and zoning approvals which Murray has been walking us through every step of the way, from start to finish, and our plan is for him to stay intimately involved throughout the entire build process. Our Home is in the final throws of the building permitting process with all systems go. Thank you, Murray! It is my ongoing honor to know you, and work with you, as you help my wife and me realize quite literally the home of our dreams. Feel free to contact me at my email address if you have questions about our project: dbklig@comcast.net Best of luck to you on your own project, and may it be as fruitful as ours!”

“10/10 recommend! The team at Southwood Homes exceeded our expectations with their swift and efficient design process for our new detached garage. We couldn't be happier with the final outcome, which perfectly complements our home. We highly recommend Southwood Homes for any home design project.”

“I contacted The Building Permit Guy to help me work through the hurdles of renovating a rental property (house) in Hamilton. John was a consummate professional, knowledgeable and friendly, who listened to my concerns and provided insights to guide my decisions. His designs were top-notch and he took the time to cover every problem I encountered. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great design work and to speed up their permit process!”

“Joel was amazing to work with. He got right into my head and created a home that met and exceeded my expectations. He was very insightful right from the beginning, from home placement on the lot to making the home appealing and functional. Joel was a wealth of information and provided me with not only products to choose from but an endless list of quality tradesmen to help with the project. The house is going to be featured in Canadian Homes and Cottages in October 2012.”

“Justine is amazing at what she does. She is highly proficient, experienced and delivers continuously amazing results. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a true professional to add to their project.”

“We highly recommend Captive Designs for their knowledge, responsiveness and professionalism. We had a great experience working with them and appreciate the thoughtful design management and attention to detail that went into the project.”

“We worked with BLR drafting & design on our new home. Bernie was able to work from our style selected through Houzz photos and put our ideas on paper in an efficient and timely manner. We switched from a two storey to a bungalow during our design and Bernie was able to seamlessly transition our look. Although the project is not yet complete, we have had numerous compliments on the design. We would definitely recommend BLR drafting & design.”

“Oh my gosh! I was absolutely thrilled with the service Aka Architecture provided me for my dream loft apartment - a third story renovation in a Queen Anne Victorian Building, where I also run my business. The mixed use of my building made this project very tricky logistically. However, Aka Architecture handled the permit logistics amazingly, with outstanding professional communication between myself as the owner and my City's Building Department for a smooth ride to an official permit. As for the design itself...Wow! Gorgeous! The apartment design is sheik and modern, keeping to my original vision of a dream living space, while magically maintaining much of the historic prestige of the exterior. Aka Architecture also kept the entire project from start to finish within the range of my original budget. Amazing! Aka succeeded in superseding all my expectations on every aspect of the job. Thus, Aka comes highly recommended by me to you! Do not hesitate to give them a call. You will not be disappointed. In fact, I think you will be as satisfied and fulfilled as I was! All the Best! I hope all your big design dreams come true!”
