Master Planning

The design and development of a broad vision for a project that responds to issues of context; urban planning, landforms, services, transportation networks, social, environmental, spatial needs and schedule for development and project costs. The master plan is a guide for the long range development of the project

Feasibility Studies

Feasibility studies use a variety of strategies; programming, master planning building condition audits, cost analysis, etc., to verify that a project is viable.

Cost Analysis

Our studio develops cost analysis to support programming, feasibility studies, design and general review services. We prepare order of magnitude cost estimates that reference a library of unit costs and construction methods to identify the cost of the project and quantify the scope of work. Our cost analyses is led by our in house professional quantity surveyors – we use real construction cost data that has been collected over thirty years of practice

Rezoning, Severance + Minor Variance Applications

Our studio knows how to interpret and apply city zoning and bylaw requirements. We provide zoning and bylaw services to support our projects. We have an established working relationship with city planning and building services staff.

Site Plan Agreements

Our studio leads the development of site plan agreements (SPA). The SPA is a legal agreement between a Client and the City. The SPA defines the development of the project on the site with respect to building size, use, location, vehicular access, parking, loading areas, site servicing, storm water management and landscaping.

Functional Space Programming

Functional space programming develops a detailed list of interior and exterior spaces required to support a project. Programming is focused on quantifying spaces, developing the overall size of building or site and identifying ideal relationships between spaces. This process guides the development of the project.

Architectural Design

We offer comprehensive design services ranging from schematic design, design development, construction document to contract administration for new builds, additions and renovation projects. Our studio has a continuous presence throughout the project; from concept to completion.

Interior Design

Our studio knows how to bring interiors to life. We are skilled at visioning spatial solutions that create desirable interior work spaces. New spatial environments are supported with the selection of interior finishes, colours, furniture and equipment.

Contract Administration

Providing quality assurance through regular site visits, ensuring construction is being performed in accordance with the design, specified details and relevant codes and standards.

Building Conditions Assessments + Audits

A detailed and comprehensive review of existing conditions, a building condition assessment report describes existing building conditions and makes recommendations for the repair or replacement of building systems to support the functional and aesthetic requirements of the project.
