Custom CADD Inc

My wife and worked with Phil and his team on a significant transformation project, demolishing our existing home and building from the foundation up over a 2 year period. Phil was excellent to work with. As it was our first time undertaking a custom home build, we were unsure what to except. Phil patiently worked with us and provided guidance as we went through the design stage, then build stage. Overall, we are very happy in our new home and admire the design everyday - we would highly recommend Phil to anyone looking for a personalized service with focus on details, and high end design elements. Raakesh & Ashley

I would not hesitate to recommend Phil to anyone. He was so easy to talk to and work with. He understood my vision and having 3 kids was able to design a house that met all our needs for both a functional and well thought-out floor plan. We also live in a heritage community, so there were a lot of strict guidelines that needed to be adhered to. Phil was very knowledgable and worked diligently with the Town to make sure we were meeting all of the correct standards as well as trying to accommodate my wish list. We were also working against a very tight timeline and Phil always turned everything around in a quick and timely manner. We appreciate everything you did for us. Thank you, Phil!

We reached out to Custom Cadd after having a very frustrating experience with another architect. Right from the first meeting we knew that Phil and his team would be a better experience. He reviewed our wish list, our style and got to know how we wanted to use the space. The very first draft only required some minor changes and the exterior style was bang on. We had a vision of a farmhouse, mountain lodge cross and they delivered! The end result is truly our dream come true.

Custom CADD is a very professional company. Specifically, Phil and Aaron were very thorough, accommodating, knowledgeable, PATIENT, and easy to speak with at all times. They always provided knowledgeable information, and handled every aspect required to provide everything we needed to meet timeline commitments and very importantly, they gave their honest opinion. They listened and did best efforts to try to give us everything on our wish list. They provided complete explanations as to why we wouldn't be able to do some items, but offered alternative solutions. I can't speak highly enough about them and would definitely recommend them.

Phil always delivered on time, both drawings and opinions. His design ideas were always thoughtfully shared. The physical distance between the project and Custom Cadd was irrelevant.

We are so thrilled with our new home build in very large part due to Phil’s design skills! We had an excellent process that got us to a fantastic design that meets all of our needs. Our builder, Coulter-Dawe, and all the team have also been highly complimentary of Custom CADD and their support on working drawings, permitting etc. And a pleasure to work with.

Phil and his team fully understood our vision for our new home. He then applied our expectations to a perfect balance of all our needs in the architectural design. He explained design ideas and concepts to us, after listening to our wish list. He is thorough and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is also thoughtful and responsible in his approach. We were happy with our design plan. Can't wait for the finished product!

Custom Cadd did the design and drawings for our full house renovation/rebuild . Phil and Aaron were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Great ideas, insight and feedback . Communication was excellent and all my questions were answered clearly and concisely. I would highly recommend Custom Cadd for any home renovation or new build projects. They are very busy but always make time to talk and are prompt in their response time. It has been a real pleasure working with them and i wouldn't hesitate to use them again on any future projects.

From the very first moment of contacting Phil at Custom Cadd, we knew we wanted to work with him. He responded right away and his communication NEVER wavered once over the entire project. You have a question, you get an answer right away, you have an idea, you get an honest response, not just want you want to hear. The planning stage for permits, etc., can be complicated; however, the team at Custom Cadd made it so easy and seamless, as they helped every step of the way, and helped to push things along as well. When you have a wish list and every wish gets met, you know you have a fantastic designer. Phil listened to our needs and to our family dynamics as to how we would use our home; and he captured it all! Ours was a challenging project as we were working with an existing structure as well as an addition. Phil’s plans were exactly what we wanted, a look where the new and old appeared seamless. Phil would go through the designs with us meticulously. The designs were so clear and so easily understandable. Sometimes we would want to change a certain aspect and the changes were made, other times, Phil would make us realize why he designed it that way, until we came to the conclusion that it did make sense and he was correct. We also probably (not probably LOL) drove Phil crazy with so many questions and comments, but Phil always responded immediately and never made us feel that we were a burden. We have already recommended Phil with no hesitation to a few people, which says it all. Honestly, don’t waste your time interviewing other designers/architects, you will go through the process stress free with Custom Cadd, we certainly did!

From the first moment we met, Phil and his team fully understood our vision for our new home. He then applied our expectations to a perfect balance of all our needs in the architectural design. I was most impressed that the first design draft was pretty well exactly where we ended up after finalizing the design process. I also appreciated his cooperation with our interior design team and his continued assistance post design. Phil's team are a great group of professionals who are available and efficient in any response. I would recommend this team without any reservation.

We were very impressed with Phil's design for our lake house. He explained design ideas and concepts to us, after listening to our wish list. He is thorough and knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He is also thoughtful and responsible in his approach. We were happy with our design plan. Can't wait for the finished product!

Phil has been simply fantastic guiding us on our home building dreams! He quickly understood our vision and worked with us to design a beautiful, functional, and cost conscious home. He was able to efficiently translate our ideas into our dream home, making recommendations to better our plan and alerting us when we would be incurring extra costs due to design features. His breadth of knowledge of all things construction, design, housing market, and construction pricing have been invaluable to us. We could not be happier with every step of the process; his timeliness, thouroughness, insights, and expertise. We highly recommend Phil as the first person to contact when embarking on your build to bring your dream home to life! Craig & Kelly Bradley

It was great working with Phil for our home plans. Working with him we were able to get a home design that we are really love. He was responsive and supportive through our permit process as well. I would highly recommend CustomCADD.

Contacted Phil to design a three car detached garage with an apartment unit above. Was extremely impressed from start to finish. Aaron was the lead architect in this project. The drawings were produced ahead of time and the fees were extremely reasonable. What impressed me the most was the support to queries I had during the construction process. They truly believe in client satisfaction and even after the transaction is concluded, they always take the time to quickly respond and find a solution to your issues. Would highly recommend Customm CADD for your next project.

Phil / Custom CADD recently (late spring 2020) completed the architecture for our house rebuild. We came to him after seeing some great before/after projects where he had vastly improved curb appeal, but later we decided on a full rebuild of our house. Phil immediately made us feel comfortable and has been a great communicator. Throughout this phase of the project has been both a leader and team player in what became a drawn out and overly complicated permit process with various conservation societies and our local city (clarifying... not his fault or really his problem but he stepped up on numerous occasions to help us wade through it all). Costs were also reasonable, and Phil gave great advice with options and plans to keep building costs as reasonable as is workable while still ending up with a quality project. Overall a great experience/highly recommend.

My wife and I did quite a bit of research when choosing an architect to design our future house in Muskoka. After reading many reviews and checking many portfolios, we thought Phil would be a great choice for us. Our initial consultation was the only time we met in person. We live about 2 hrs away from where his office is located, so we corresponded by email for the remainder of the process. We were extremely pleased with the whole process from start to finish. Phil and his team listened to our needs and wants, and designed us a home around that. We looked forward to receiving emails from the team, because our dream plan was coming to life. Phil and his team made suggestions that we hadn’t thought of, and incorporated so many details that never crossed our mind. We will recommend Phil and his team to all our friends and family, and look forward to working with them on future projects.

Designing a house can be daunting but Phil and his team helped make the process manageable and even enjoyable. Phil was able to capture our vision beautifully. His process is straightforward and he provided us with ideas to supplement what we already had in mind. We would highly recommend his services to anyone interested in designing a home.

We've worked with Custom Cadd on several projects and love the design work and relationship with Phil and his team! Looking forward to building many more custom homes with Phil and team! Keep up the good work guys!

We were referred to Custom CADD by our contractor who had worked with them before and had nothing but good things to say. We are very thankful for that tip as we near the completion of our major renovation. Right from the start Phil sensed what we were after which made the design stage smooth and fun. The team was then very supportive and accommodating as we made some minor redesigns. Custom CADD even helped facilitate some aspects of the building project that didn't directly relate to them; greatly appreciated. And now that we are only a month or two away from completion, we are thrilled with the end result!!

Lucky for us, after working with two other architects, we met Phil. Phil and his team are a pleasure to work with. From our first meeting with Phil we felt very much at ease. He is very knowledgeable about design, is very flexible and easy to work with. No matter how many changes we want to make to our project design, Phil is patient and takes the time to review and discuss our ideas. We look forward to continuing to work with Phil on our upcoming cottage build.

Phil and team designed our dream home. Turned out exactly as we wanted and we love it. The team was great! Amazing experience. From start to finish the team helped us with everything. Pleasure to work with.

I worked with Phil and his team beginning in Fall 2017 to convert my 2.5 story bungalow to include a legal basement apartment, completely renovate the main floor, and then convert the half story under the eaves of the roof to a full story. CustomCADD came recommended to me from my trusted contractor as being the architectural team his previous clients complained about the least LOL. I can say that my experience with Phil's team was far better than just "not having many complaints"! I was initially concerned that my house is in Toronto, and CustomCADD is based out of Barrie, but it turns out I had nothing to worry about. I spoke with Phil on the phone and by email, then had 1 or two site visits before he proposed his initial drawing. I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with his design from the outset - I requested virtually no changes to the outside look of the house - it was like Phil took my jumbled ideas and perfectly translated them into the classic contemporary design I wanted, and truly incorporated the house with the feel of the neighborhood; the design was true to the character and history of the house, which I really liked. I also really liked the overall design of the interior of the house, and over 3-4 drawing changes, I always felt that Phil and his team listened to my concerns, were open to my suggestions, were not afraid to tell me the pros and cons of my ideas, and together, we made final decisions. I've heard that some architectural teams are very resistant to design changes, and I did not feel this was at all the case with CustomCADD - it truly felt like a collaborative process in which we worked together to find the best design that worked for my needs. Communication by email was a breeze, and we were able to make all the design tweaks without needing to meet again in person. Once the design was finalized, it was time to get permits. And let me tell you---AARGH! This was a nightmare because of how the City of Toronto works. I was extremely grateful for Phil and his team shepherding me through the process, making changes as requested by the city, and finally getting permits (this took about 15 months, because we needed to request minor variance exemptions). Construction started on my project in late September 2019, and the house is just about complete despite due to COVID-19 delays. I could not be happier with the overall design and feel of the house, and can't wait for the landscaping to be completed! I will gladly share photos once this is done :-) Project cost for design was about 10% of the overall construction cost for my project.

We moved to a century old farmhouse and had Phil over to give us his ideas. But first He walked the house with us and listened to our issues and goals for our new home. Phil was very respectful, polite and professional to work with. My husband loved all the plans, I couldn’t vision the new staircase, but now that they are finished and useable I LOVE THEM!! Thank you Phil for your patience with my many phone calls and texts. I highly recommend Phil and his company for all their help in making our home the dream we wanted!

Along with my husband as the Designer and Builder, our experience with Phil was amazing! Upon our first meeting in which we brought our drawings and vision, Phil listened and after two hours he was able to bring our vision to a reality. Phil was a pleasure to work with from the beginning to the completion of this Project. He was very knowledgeable and always willing to help when needed and happily took the extra step, with site visits. We would definitely recommend Phil for any upcoming project! Tammy and Greg Colinas

From start to finish Phil and his amazing team of highly qualified professionals helped us design and build something truly amazing. Phil has great insight and creativity. His team assisted with our permits, designs and development over a two year period. His fee not only included design but actual construction advice throughout the entire process. This is the only company my wife and I would ever work with. Well worth the money!

I found Phil and his team to be professional and they delivered every step of the way, I had a few tweaks that I wanted them to make and they did so quickly and to my liking. thank you Phil and Aaron!!! this review is for their work alone, not any other trades involved in my build

Phil and his team have done many projects for our firm and we are always very happy with the level of detail they provide. Gordon Stone

We hired Phil to develop drawings for our new Custom Home. He and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Although this task can seem daunting, they helped to simplify by providing ideas and guidance throughout the process. Phil made himself personally available whenever needed and even came out for site visit during our build. Thank You for making our experience a Great One!!

We worked with Custom CADD for the design of our house and were very pleased with the customer service, the attention to detail and the final design results. Megan was pleasant to work with, very responsive and made excellent suggestions. I highly recommend Custom CADD.

We have worked with the Custom CADD team this pass year and it was great working with a professional and knowledgeable team. We would certainly recommend Custom CADD for all your architectural needs.

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Phil and his talented team on the design of our custom home. We had a rough concept and Phil brought it to life and made it a reality for us! Not only did Phil come up with a unique design, but he ensured it was a practical solution for a growing family. His team was professional, fantastic to work with and timely. Thanks Phil and the Custom CADD team. We look forward to recommending you to our friends and family for years to come.

We were lucky to be able to work with Phil and his team in designing our custom home. A few great looking custom homes were in various stages of being built in a neighborhood, and we found out that Phil was the designer from one of the homeowners who enthusiastically recommended Phil and confirmed that the other custom homes were designed by Phil as well. We knew right away that this is the designer we wanted to work with, as we were certain that houses were designed by the same designer even before talking with the homeowner because they all looked “right” in the same way, despite the actual designs being quite different. This no surprise given the amount of attention Phil puts into his designs, everything from the roof lines to the finished grade, getting the right proportions, and specifying architecturally correct details. He definitely has tremendous talent and passion for his work. The design process felt easy from the very start due to the confidence we had in his abilities, as he takes great pride in his designs. The professionalism of him and his team despite numerous changes on our end was also comforting. We don’t live close to Barrie, but there is no doubt that it’s worth the commute and we are looking forward to working with Phil and CustomCADD in the near future!

I have worked with Philippe on many projects over the years. He has great vision, capturing the designs of his clients. Whether it is a simple or complex design, Custom Cadd has the expertise. Philippe takes a lot of pride in his designs. He is reliable, responsible, reasonable and accountable. I don't think you will find anyone any better or his Team

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Philippe and Matt for the design of our cottage this year. This was the first custom home that we have designed and it was very helpful to work with a team that was so knowledgable and talented. Philippe understood our ideas and was able to develope them in a beautiful design. Phillips was very helpful and provided various elevations for exterior finishes and did numerous changes In order to create something that we will like and will also meet the final approval from the subdivision architect. The professional fees for their services have been outline clearly from start and were very fair; we had no surprises They were always responsive and on schedule.

Our experience with Phil and his team has been excellent, we have recommended and will not hesitate to recommend Custom CADD to our friends and colleagues. From the start Phil was able to interpret and create exactly what we were looking for. This process is at times lengthy and frustrating , but Phil translated our requirements quickly and succinctly, throughout the design phase, and beyond. It is our business to build and sell custom homes, and we now consider Phil and integral part of our team.

My wife and I had an excellent experience with Phil (Chief Designer) and Matt (Technologist). Phil designed our cottage and Matt dealt with the technical aspects following design completion. Phil and Matt's knowledge is extensive, as is their experience. Most important to us, Phil and Matt listened carefully to our ideas, made excellent suggestions, and worked with us to solve issues. It sure taught us to listen carefully to professionals. Phil made creative improvements to our original sketch, like relocating a bathroom for better user access from the side door. He had a super grasp of what it takes to build a year-round cottage in Northern Canada, and Phil used standard materials such as roof trusses and windows. He maximized the use of our 200 square meter floor plan.The architectural design costs of this project were laid out clearly and adhered to.

Very professional and friendly- easy to communicate with staff- It was a real pleasure to work with this company- We were referred to them by friends who previously worked with them -

Working with Phil and Matt on the design and execution of our landmark lakefront estate was truly one of the highlights of the whole plan and build experience. They understood our vision and our design features, and executed it with a bulls eye on the first go around. They were always there when we needed changes (which were very small), plans, documents, or advise. In fact our trades were surprised by how quickly we were able to make a phone call for anything and get it done or to us right away. I look forward to our next project together and would not hesitate recommending them to anyone

I actually came to know Philippe through this website. He is clearly passionate about what he does, realistic in terms of our build budget expectations and was always attentive to my project. His costs were in my opinion reasonable vs the value I received in design / excellent build plans. I'm glad I went with Phil vs a design build with an internal team. He also gave great recommendations in terms of possible contractor options of which one of them I have partnered with and we're presently in the middle of our build. Enjoy your project.......CustomCADD will be one of the least stressful elements of the process :) Bill Beeton

We hired Phil to design our dream house in Nova Scotia. It took us a year to finalize the plans but Phil guided us through the process with patience, professionalism and knowledge. It was a very large and complex build with lots of complicated details. Even over the distance of almost 3000 km between Ontario and Nova Scotia Phil managed to succeed and connected with our builder, survey contact etc. We highly recommend his firm.

Phil and his team designed a new build custom home for our family. He did a great job as did his entire team. Very professional and creative, the final drawings were a good mix of modern contemporary but also very warm and inviting. He did a great job working with the grade, which was a difficult obstacle, and ensuring the house meshed well with the neighborhood. Overall I would highly recommend Phil.

Both Phil and Matt provided us with great help in the planning of our home. They were very helpful and easy to work with. I would refer their services to anyone with no hesitation. Phil is very honest and frank about his suggestions and ideas which make the process easier and ultimately get you the best product possible.

We hired Custom Cadd to prepare architectural plans and drawings for our custom home project. Phil was instrumental in the design process; paying attention to our taste and and assisting us with the design of a functional and efficient floorplan. The drawings were completed in a timely manner, and under budget. We currently have the drawings out for quote, and the feedback so far is that they are the most detailed and precise constructions drawings that our prospective contractors have ever seen. We couldn't be happier at this stage of the process, and look forward to seeing our dream home go from drawing, to reality!

Phil is extremely talented and professional designer. His design has exceeded my expectations. He has incorporated all the features we wanted on my dream home and completed my project on time. We have been exceptionally pleased with him and his office staff members and would recommend him to others without any hesitation. He and his staff coordinate with all regulatory officers and made our life easier in obtaining the required permits.

We chose Custom CADD Inc primarily because of their profile we found on houzz. We were looking for a design team that could work with our existing bungalow's footprint, rather than build a design from scratch. Although our project has yet to finish, I can honestly say that Phil and his team were truly a pleasure to deal with. Despite us having very little knowledge in home construction, CCI was very patient in answering all of our questions, and even when his portion of the work was complete, they assisted me with finding solutions that my builder couldn't. In short, top marks for CCI. My biggest reason for this recommendation would be their honesty and accountability. A project like ours will undoubtedly come with a few hiccups along the way, but rather than pointing fingers, Phil and his team were quick to assume responsibility, and more importantly, had the ability to come up with cost effective solutions. Looking forward to sharing pictures of our project on CCI's profile once completed.

My husband and I are very pleased with the service we received from Phil and staff at Custom Cadd. We brought in a picture of a house with some rough idea of what we wanted to build and Phil crafted our dreams on paper. We discovered that what we thought we wanted changed as the process unfolded. In the end, we had four revisions to the final plans but we never felt pressured to accept at either of the stages. Phil was not satisified until we were. Love his work ethics! We also found him to be helpful with designing advice such as the setup of rooms and landscaping. We would highly recommend Custom Cadd to anyone out there looking to design and/or build a new home.

I was extremely happy with the service I was provided. The staff listened to my concerns and interests and tried to incorporate them into my plans however difficult they may have been. The results were how I imagined and were built to specifics. Thank you for all your hard work!

It was a pleasure working with Phil and his team on our custom home design. They patiently incorporated everything on our wish list and I found them to be very precise and timely. Professionally I have also collaborated with Phil on a number of other building and design projects and I value his opinion and expertise. I look forward to many more future projects with Custom CADD and give them my highest recommendation. Lidia van Zyl LVZ Design

I hired Custom Cadd and worked with Philippe Lamadeleine to help bring to life my ideas of a 4,800 custom built home. He was imaginative, offered great advice, and came up with unique and different ideas. He went over and above to meet deadlines and keep within budget. Highly recommended!!!

I enjoyed working with Phil( Custom Cadd) . I would recommend him. One of the quality he has and it is hard to find in other trades is if he make an error even the smallest he comes to you himself and tell you about it and takes responsibility.

We already had the basic design for our dream home drawn up with pencil and paper but needed help in turning those sketches into actual working plans so that we could take it from the dream-stage to reality. Custom CADD provided sufficient detail in their plans that we were able to act as the General Contractor of the build of our new home and for our home to turn out even better than expected. That truly says something for the quality of the plans provided. Our framer commented on the fact that we were one of very few clients who made no changes during the build itself. That is due to the fact that Custom CADD worked with us and spent the time up-front to ensure that everything was considered, laid out, and amended as necessary in developing the plans prior to putting the shovel in the ground. Our dream home is truly just that, and we wouldn't change a thing!

We hired Custom Cadd to design a cottage for us. We wanted something modern, yet functional, and there would be a budget. We sat down with Phil and described what we were looking for. We showed him quite a lot of pictures (mostly in a Houzz Ideabook), and when the first drawing came back it was almost perfect from the start. We were pleasantly surprised. Two things stood out for us: 1. Phil, first and foremost, listened to what we were looking for in a cottage and design; 2. he did not forget the practical issues (such as room around furniture.) I was also impressed that he had designed with the structure in mind from the start. It wasn't just concept drawing, with structure to be figured out later. This hasn't been our experience with other architects. I think that is one of the reasons why Phil can provide great design at a reasonable price. The build is well on its way, and it has come off even better than we anticipated. We would definitely use Custom Cadd should we take on another building project!

Our experience was exceptional. We would highly recommend Phil and his team. Our home is coming along better than we expected, Phil would say "it's exactly as he expected"! We are already thinking about our next project and working again with Phil and his team.

My experience was relatively not what I expected. It was actually less stressful. I was treated with respect and all of my needs were addressed with the enthusiasm and dedication of true professionals. They went above and beyond my expectations in all areas including customer service. Custom CADD listened to my needs and performed well in all aspects of the design process. Whenever I had any issues or changes along the way, they addressed their concerns and we appropriately resolved the issues. Even when I had a minor battle over the site plan with the city building officials, Custom CADD had no problem spending their time on the phone aiding to resolve the issues the township had with my plans. My only negative aspect of the process came out later on during the building phase when my contractor advised me that there where minor flaws in design.. However, I resolved those issues with my contractor out of my own pocket. Overall, I would highly recommend Custom CADD to anyone without hesitation.

I really recommend Phil and his team. We were not happy with our first architect and was glad that we had found Custom CADD. Phil and Matt were very thorough and were quick with our project. If we needed changes done or had questions, they were very quick with the changes/responses. Whatever style or design you chose they are able to put that design using their very sophisticated software. They will be with you every step of the way. They won't let you hanging after your project is complete. They are very approachable during your construction phase. I am glad that we found Custom CADD, otherwise, it would taken us a very long time to design our dream home. Radhika

We met Phil at Custom CADD on the recommendation of a friend. Our family had no experience in general contracting a home build but were excited to embark on the adventure. Phil made the entire process fun! He started with a "how-we-live" bubble diagram and before we knew it he had a home designed in the style of our choosing! Making adjustments and incorporating our feedback into refined floor plans was always received with respect and with a sense of excitement from Phil that he was creating a design that we were going to be genuinely pleased with. He was very meticulous when it came to being conscientious of our overall build budget, including square footage of the buildings and had many creative solutions for maximizing the use of every square foot of the dwelling; a high priority for us. With his impeccable knowledge of the Ontario Building Codes we had very little trouble with his design being compliant to our township regulations and even had proactive advice for us in this area. During the build there was one instance where we as the general contractors wanted to make an adjustment in the vaulted roof of our porch. We were extremely impressed that Custom CADD was able to amend the plans, obtain engineering for the change and all without a delay to our construction. He often went over and above for us! We have recommended Phil and Custom CADD on many occasions since our build, and I believe everyone has been equally pleased.

Custom CADD designed our house and guys did an excellent job. Attention to details, great recommendations on floor layout and attention to our wishes were outlines of their work. Construction plans included 3D views of the house, construction details, rooms finishes specifications. Plans were accepted by City officials without any problems. Great work, highly recommend this company.

We hired Custom CADD to do the drawings on my new cottage home I am building this summer. We're working with Phil and his work is excellent and he has been extremely prompt and professional when responding to any questions or needs I had. I am extremely pleased with their service and recommend their services!

Custom CADD worked as a team to help us design our dream home. We experienced a fantastic collaborative environment that helped us bring our ideas to reality.

Madison Taylor has been working with Custom Cadd for about 4 years. Custom Cadd has provided new home drawings, renovation and permit packages as well as advice on renovations that we do within our own company. We have been so pleased to make Custom Cadd part of our service to our clients as we know that we are providing them with a high quality and creative team. They have such an amazing talent at taking concept sketches and turning them into full design and construction packages. They are also are very adaptive and are willing to work within whatever perimeters that we provide them. Our clients have also been very impressed with the overall service, pricing and final results. Thanks for all of your contribution! We look forward to working together on many more projects!

My partner Cassie and I have been designing and manufacturing kitchens for over 20 years and are pleased to have had the opportunity to work with Phil and his staff for over 5 years now. Phil and his staff have impressed us with there creative ability to design wonderful homes and living spaces with taste and accuracy. They have the ability to realize the clients vision and make it come to life. Custom Cadd makes our job of adding millwork to there designs easy and seamless. I would recommend their services with the confidence of knowing they will complete the vision of any project set before them.

We hired Custom CADD to design an addition to our century home and a detached garage. We are still in the design phase of the project and both Phil and Matt have been very forthcoming with ideas to help us envision our "dream home" and to creatively use our limited space to its potential. They have also been invaluable in providing information about permits etc. and in dealing with the conservation authority which our property falls under the jurisdiction of. We would highly recommend Custom CADD for your design needs and we can't wait to see the drawings become reality!

Stalled with a basic design created between ourselves and another architect, we were referred to Custom Cadd by our builder, who had previously suggested we give them a try. Phil identified and corrected flaws with the roof design, plan flow and lot coverage, working up an improved version of our vision. Consultations and further tweaking of the design, layout and window arrangements, were accommodated and completed in a timely manner to meet permit application deadlines. During excavation, it was determined that structural changes would be necessary to address site conditions encountered. Matt and Phil completed these amendments quickly; both the original drawings and the amendments, as well as the site plan, were accepted by the building department without questions or delays. We cannot recommend Custom Cadd highly enough. They provided us with valuable, honest input, combined with excellent overall service, ensuring that our project could move forward in a timely fashion. Matt and Phil have been a pleasure to work with.

Phillipe and his team are very pleasant, easy-going yet thoroughly professional people to work with. They strike a rare balance of being engaged in the project without needlessly micromanaging, and received great work as a result. Integrity matters, and if this is how well they produce promotional materials, I can only imagine the care they put into actual construction! In short, I hope that my family and I will have the pleasure of being able to afford one of their homes soon, because it is bound to be a treat to live in one.

Speaking on behalf of United Lumber and and United Truss, we have a great relationship with Custom Cadd. our design team work on a regular bases with Custom Cadd to ensure we have correct designs for permit applications. We enjoy working with Custom Cadd drawings, they are complete and very accurate. We feel that Custom Cadd are bringing great value to their clients by preparing a permit package at the start for their clients. Building departments require both floor and roof designs to be submitted along with the design drawings for a proper permit submital, this is something that both companies combined can provide.

Philippe and his Team are very professional and provide a great service. I would highly reccomend them. Custom Cadd has provided drawings to me for multiple jobs from Additions and for New Homes. There designs are well thought out. They will take suggestion but also give there input. As a Builder I picked out a few area's that were not clearly defined in the drawing and Custom Cadd was quickly there to resovle the issue typically with in hours, THAT'S SERVICE!

I have now used Philippe/Custom Cadd on three construction projects that required his design work and expertise, I would have no hesitation in recommending his services. His knowledge allowed him to grasp my ideas for the build quickly and efficiently. Robert Johnston

We have completed numerous projects with the Team at Custom CADD and they continue to impress us. We provide structural design services and working with a group that has foresight to allow for our component provides for seamless projects. I would highly recommend them for your next project, just take a look at their portfolio.

My husband and I have worked with Custom CADD Inc. on two occasions. Both times we were very happy with Phil's ability to take our rough sketches and magazine tear outs to create the home that we had envisioned. We valued the after sales service as well. On many occasions during the building process we had questions in regards to engineering, zoning, building permits etc. Phil and his team were always available to assist. Many thanks, Kim and David Smith

Custom CADD Inc. was referred to us by a friend and we are so glad they were. We worked very well together designing the renovation of an existing 40+ year old home into our dream home. The end result is beautiful country home, approx. 12,000 sq. ft., complete with indoor pool. The finished product is just perfect. During the construction period they were just a phone call away and were always ready and able to answer all building questions and/or attend site meetings with various trades. They were truly a professional team to work with and we would gladly recommend them to our friends and/or relatives.

My husband and I purchased a 100 year old cottage that required a major renovation/rebuild. The cottage is located on an island in Georgian Bay. Phil did an initial site visit and went to work. Phil produced some incredible ideas to get us started and from these my husband and I were able to pick the direction we wanted to go. We then continued to work with Phil to finalize the design. Phil always listened to our concerns and worked in a timely fashion producing the drawings. He was very professional and knowledgeable throughout all stages of the design. What we enjoyed most about Phil is his ability to assess our site and produce concepts that would be best suited to the site. Phil has spactacular vision and his designs and concepts always maximixe the use of space. My husband has a residential building background and found that Phil’s construction knowledge was an incredible advantage and he was able to produce drawings that were not only visually apealing but functional. We have recommended several people to Phil with fantastic results and will continue to do so.

I retired as a practising architect several years ago after a lengthy career primarily focused upon institutional, commercial and industrial work. Two years ago my wife and I decided to investigate the design of a new home which would incorporate sustainability and age in place features expressed in a very contemporary design idiom. Realizing that my knowledge of residential design methods and materials was limited and fearing that I might distort the cost by applying techniques from my large project experience I decided to search for a person or a firm knowledgeable in residential work. I chose to work with Custom Cadd Inc. and it has proven to be both a wise and an enjoyable experience. They have the skill and knowledge that I required but they also have an often overlooked but critical ingredient - the right attitude. They are pleasant to work with and I am enjoying our relationship. As a result I have engaged them to work with me on a second project in Toronto. Based upon my experience with them I am very happy to recommend Custom Cadd Inc.

I have worked with Custom CADD on numerous projects and recommend this company to all future clients that are thinking of Renovating or Building New. -Weather Guard Construction Inc.

Phil worked with us to develop our house plan while our family was living in Japan. We communicated with Phil through e-mail and phone conversations. Phil drafted our house plans based on details that we provided and came up with a final plan that met all of our desires. The process with Phil was professional and efficient. Phil's experience was clearly well anchored in house design which provided excellent proposals for layout and elevations. The house house was designed for ICF construction. During the build process, we did not find a single design error. Plans were thorough and easy for trades to follow. Dimensions on paper achieved the style, layout and cost that we had planned for. Overall, we are 100% satisfied with the design process that Phil provides. We recomend Custom Cadd to others when it's appropriate.

As a new homebuilder and renovator, we like the combination of the company's knowledge of building code practices and also the "vision" to design a project to be proud of. All small details were taken into account and response time to inquiries were prompt, (no need to leave voicemail, you actually get a person on the other end). One drawback at first may be the cost of the design process, but in the end, well worth it when you don't experience any hiccups when you apply for your building permit or when you start building for that matter. We've work with Custom Cadd directly, and have also recommended the company for clients who want to work direct.

I was refered to Custom-CADD about 10 years ago. We are a Design-Build Timber Frame Company. Prior to working with Phil and his staff, we had worked with numerous CADD Designers who seem to either fall short of what was needed or were totally unable to provide drawing of value. After working with Phil, we have never needed to look elsewhere, not only are the drawings Top Notch, but their creativity and understanding of construction have made us better at what we do.

Mr Lamadeleine designed a home that exceeded our expectations. He comprehended what we were wanting and was able to add so as to improve upon our wishes. We had given him a preferred size of home we were wanting and approximate costs. Phil was able to adapt and show us how to accommodate our wishes, and advise us when we would have to think outside our desired envelope to get what we were looking for. His personality fit with our personalities so we found him easy to work with. Furthermore he adjusted his time schedules in an extra-ordinary way to fit our busy schedule. He was able to guide and advise as to the use of the various trades we required. They were able to interpret and work from the drawings without any revisions. The home he designed fits perfectly our setting on a hillside with a spectacular view, and has been admired by trades and neighbours alike.

was very knowledeable with building practices, was able to meet all deadlines that were placed. Great at returning phone calls and getting back to us with any and all questions, that were asked with respect to the project.

Very professional, listened to all our concerns and what we wanted and drew a plan that would suite our needs. Could not ask for a better company!!

I started to work with Phil nine years ago. He's always been polite respectful and considerate of my needs. We have worked together since on many projects. His concepts on designs are one of the superior ones I've seen in my 25 years in construction. To say the least I would recommend custom CAD to anybody starting or looking to design a new home. He works in a timely fashion and always has his jobs done on time, which is very important in my industry. So if you're looking for a lot more than a cookie-cutter home or design or renovation call Phil at Custom CADD the job will get done properly. Marty B. Belle Ewart Ontario

Phil knows his stuff.He and his staff are very knowledgable.It is always a pleasure to introduce him to new clients and work through the process of drawing up construction drawings.From the modest home to the multi million dollar home or cottage he has awe inspiring ideas. He listens and is always conscious of the clients wish list and of course their budget.He brings a visual to a house design that many designers cannot.We have worked with Phil for several years now and many of his designs have been featured in top magazines.As a Custom Home Builder it is so important to have talented individuals on your team and Custom Cadd provide that talent on every new build or renovation.Our last model home proved to be one of his best designs yet.We wish him continued success.

Custom Cadd was able to transalte from a picture that my wife had for a house into an actual plan that gave her the look she wanted on the outside with a very functional plan on the inside. They were always accomodating with respect to all the various revisions that are obviously necessary in a process of designing a home. The final plans were abvle to be used by the builder with almost no adjustments necessary. Anything we needed during the design process was handled quickly and profesionally. The fee charged was very fair for the level of service provided. Since my wife now has the home she always wanted I don't see that we will have the necessity to work with them again but i would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone doing a similar project

I have used the services of Custom Cadd for over 8 years now. The designs and layouts Phil and his team have produced over the years are truly unique. Phil has the unique capabitility to see the finished product, keep it on budget and exceed expectaions. Phil's ability to foresee potential issues and offer alternatives go a long way to reduce both construction delays and costs. Tops on my list.

From start to finish, the service was an asset in creating a top notch home. Everything from professionalism to the service provided, couldn't be happier with the service. Will recommend to others.

July 2016 Our house is now several years complete. As I walk thorugh the house, I'm grateful that Phil was able to work with us. It's amazing how the little touches that he suggested throughout the house enhances our living experience. Instead of using the main hallway, the kids love the passage way to each other's bedrooms. The kitchen you designed for us is practical, spacious, and loved! Really looking forward to working with you again on another project. If you are looking for someone who will put your vision on paper, I HIHGLY recommend Phil and his team. Update January 26,2013 We are now about 5-6 months into the actual construction. It has been interesting to see Phil's design take shape. We have made very few adjustments to the actual design. In our numerous discussions of how to place the house, Phil has done a great job. We will have incredible amounts of sunlight flowing through the main living areas of the house during the day-ESPECIALLY during the winter months. At night, the bedrooms will be nicely sheltered by the winds that at times blow very briskly across the property. Great Job! These are the fine details that Phil was able to capture for us, which we didn't even think about. I know that Phil had told us about the ceiling details during the design stage and for a non artistic person it was difficult for me to envision. Having seen it framed and how it fits with the arches through the hallway, and how at the end of the hallway, it is framed by a window that offers an incredible view, I have to say- I am truly impressed by Phil's attention to details. Thnx Phil! We worked with Phil recently. Phil was able to effectively listen to our needs/wishes and put our ideas into a design that we are very happy with. In terms of time, Phil and Matt were readily available for help and advice, often outside of "normal" work hours. They were willing to help in providing us with information about other trades that will help us achieve our goals. We have also shown the design to several builders for planning and logistics purposes and the general feedback has been that the design is coherent and well thought out. We will certainly call on Phil and Mat to do future work. It was a fabulous work relationship and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Guys! Note: If I could give a 4.8 on Houzz, I would certainly do so but unfortunately, I can only give 4 or 5 stars. They are not perfect, but pretty darn close.
