Drawings to remove support wall for open concept kitchen

Architalcandesign/Rocco is an absolute pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, responsive and patiently answered all our questions. We highly recommend him to any and all in need of the services offered. Rocco handled everything for us including site visits, developing the drawings; submission for permits with the City and we received approvals and permit in record time. Rocco is straightforward, honest and easy to work with. We would hire him again in a second. Thank you so much.

Full house renovation

Rocco and Morteza were excellent. They quickly collected requirements and were able to create and modify drawings through consultation with us. The permit application process was efficient and quick with no complications. I would happily recommend them and would use them again.

Drawings for basement underpinning permit

I went to Architalcan from the very positive reviews I read in Homestars.
I had to put in place all drawings and all paperwork for my new basement that needed underpinning.
Rocco was very helpful, very quick and efficient. The drawings were quickly adjusted to my comments and the filling the permit application was done in no time, with success at the end.
I really recommend this company for this no non-sense and transparent approach to business

Drawings and permits

I was waiting to hire a contractor to begin a kitchen and bathroom renovation, but decided to move things along myself to get the needed permits. Rocco and Morteza were quick to help. They were extremely responsive to my many questions and demonstrated great knowledge. I wish all people in the renovation process were as easy to do deal with. I would hire them again in a second. Thanks guys.

Separate entrance - Basement appartment

We were building separate entrance to the basement apartment. Rocco and the team were exceptionally fast in providing design and applying to the city for the permit.
The knowledge , professionalism and customer service we've received was excellent. All with the touch of the true care.
We would be happy to recommend Rocco and the team to all our friends.
Thank you Rocco for being knowledgeable, professional and very authentically driven in what you do.

Basement apartment plans

Rocco designed, with our input, a legal basement apartment.

Several features of our experience with Rocco stood out: exceptional speed, commitment to the job, and professional knowledge.

Speed: measurements Dec 12, drawings completed Dec 19, city received Dec 31, permit granted Jan 2.

Commitment: willing to make small revisions without charge, working close to holidays, available by phone to answer questions and explain project details (even long after the job was completed)

Professional: knows the code and helped create work-arounds to minimize project cost, correct in interpretation of certain project intricacies that city later confirmed with me when I tried to receive exception to these intricacies.

While Rocco at times seemed impatient with me (granted-I ask many questions) he was still committed to listening, meeting the needs of the project, having strict attention to detail and specs, and being open to input about the design.

His rate was cheaper than other designers that were referred to me and he did a great job. His plans included plenty of details to assist in construction, and he submitted the plans for me for a fee (which flew through permitting).

Excellent value and competency.
