Home Additions & Renovations from Niagara to Hamilton and Surrounding Areas
Professional, permit-ready residential design for homeowners expanding, reconfiguring, or upgrading their existing homes.
Over 7,500 completed residential designs across Ontario.
Expanding Instead of Moving?
For homeowners through the Niagara Region and surrounding areas, we design permit-ready:
- Rear and side additions
- Second-storey additions
- Interior reconfigurations
- Basement apartments & secondary suites
- Detached garages and accessory structures
Every project begins with measured drawings and zoning review, and ends with complete construction documentation prepared for Ontario Building Code approval.
Our renovation and addition services are designed for homeowners who want clear guidance, reliable communication, and permit-ready drawings prepared correctly the first time.
Permit-Ready Addition & Renovation Drawings
Every addition and renovation project includes:
- Measured drawings of your existing home
- Zoning review and buildable footprint confirmation
- Concept floor plans tailored to your needs
- Detailed revisions and exterior elevations
- Ontario Building Code compliant construction drawings
- Structural notes integrated from the beginning
- Signed & stamped BCIN documentation
- Schedule 1 and Energy Efficiency forms for permit submission
Our fixed-fee contracts include unlimited design revisions, allowing your project to evolve without surprise costs.

A Clear, Structured Approach
Our process has been refined over 30+ years and over 7,500 completed designs
1. Initial Consultation (Free)
We review your goals, property information, photos, and ideas.
2. Zoning & Site Review
We confirm setbacks, buildable area, and site limitations early — eliminating surprises later.
3. Measured Drawings
For additions and renovations, we measure your existing home before design begins.
4. First Draft & Revisions
Concept floor plans are prepared and refined through detailed feedback and revisions.
5. Detailed Development
Structural design, building code requirements, and cost efficiencies are integrated from the beginning; not added at the end.
6. Finalizing for Permit
We prepare complete, construction-ready blueprints, sign and stamp them with our BCIN number, and provide all required documentation for submission.
Designed With Experience. Delivered With Accountability.
Many homeowners experience delays because calls aren’t returned or revisions take longer than expected.
We prioritize:
- Direct communication with our design team
- Prompt responses, no answering service
- Clear timelines and expectations
- Thorough internal blueprint review before permit submission
We design with both creativity and constructability in mind; “a pencil in one hand and a hammer in the other.” as Hank likes to say.
