'design+permit drawings' for new homes, additions, renovations & cottages

'development study' where aspects such as site circumstances (parking, trees, etc) & zoning parameters are analyzed to determine the development possibilities of a property

'consultation' where design/drawing process . committee of adjustment . permit review . tendering/construction process can be discussed together with comment regarding design possibilities

'committee of adjustment' where drawing package developed & representation at public hearing provided to seek approval when aspect(s) of zoning parameters exceeded by contemplated proposal (53 done; 96% approved)

note:  tendering & review of construction not offered . may be outsourced if desired


process involved . permit drawings

client furnishes survey plan & conveys initial design thoughts ('wish list': floor by floor tally of spaces anticipated to be involved with desirable planning aspects identified - also - undesirable aspects of existing home if project is reno . photos of desirable similar projects are very useful); a home-planning 'checklist' I have developed may be used . applicable zoning/development parameters are investigated in-person at local municipality building department . drawings of existing site, floor plans & exterior elevations are done on computer . various viable design directions are generated - addressing site planning/building massing/floor plans & exterior elevations . the direction best suited for the particular client is identified & then refined .
the design process begins as sketch drawings for initial generation of options evolving to computer drawings as design becomes refined . should a zoning parameter be exceeded (eg: too much floor area), it is necessary to obtain committee of adjustment approval; usually a computer-drawn 'design' set of small format drawings is used for the submission, which later can easily be upgraded to become the 'permit' drawings . sometimes an outline 'design' package of drawings is utilized to obtain preliminary estimates of construction costing; may also compare costing  of different design directions . 'permit drawings' are then developed of the selected design direction, submitted for permit review, then available for pricing & construction


projects

during university, while employed with other architectural firms & during this companys existence, I have always been very interested & involved with designing homes

as well as the projects listed, I have prepared drawings of numerous single family homes for various home builders while working on contract with anderson & assocs (toronto): fernbrook hms, archway hms, sundial hms, mattamy hms . before moving to toronto I was involved similarly with manor hms (winnipeg)
