Garage drawing

Rocco did the drawing of the garage for me and I found him very responsive to our email, questions and concerns. He is very familiar with the city by-laws and regulations and he got us the building permit for the garage within days. No adjustments and no delays. We are very happy with his work.

Architectural design

Jafar Inanloo of Thornhill
Well what could I tell you after reading all these positive reviews; it is only fair to add my 2cents to it all.
We decided to add a little addition to our small 1700sq/ft, one and a half story home, which is about 60 years old in the Markham section of Thornhill. That little addition became a 2000sq/ft addition to give us around 3700sq/ft. With Rocco’s help we managed to bring it into reality. He was prompt on his promises. Got us the drawings within a week and then the final drawing and the next thing I knew, yes sir we are in the City for the permit. With all the City of Markham’s fussiness, Rocco made it so easy. All I can tell you that he will be my guy for the next project, which will be in near future. I highly recommend Rocco simply because he is great to deal with, he is very knowledgeable, he is realistic, and he won’t waste any time. Oh and his cost is very reasonable for all that he does.

Plans for Permit

We contracted Rocco to prepare our drawings for our home renovations and were very satisfied. He is professional, reliable, and a great person to work with; it's obvious he enjoys the work he does.

Within less than one week of meeting Rocco, Rocco provided us the preliminary drawings for all changes within all three levels with detailed measurements. The layout of the drawings were impressively accurate.

Within one week of sign off and submission, our permits were approved by the city... Impressive.

Rocco has an eye for detail and can tell you within minutes if something can work or not. If you are looking for a true professional who is efficient and delivers good quality, he is the one to go to. Don't waste your time going elsewhere.

My husband and I would have no issues recommending Rocco.

Plans, Permit for large Renovation

Rocco, was great to work with. He helped us design an old home to add the missing features of current new builds. He helped us add a larger garage,change our master bedroom to have a large master en-suite and walk-in closet and a mudroom. This made our new home that we bought not only have charm but function. The process was difficult because of city restrictions but Rocco made it much easier to deal with. He was wonderful to deal with and got the job done! Thank you. I highly recomment Rocco he was a pleasure to deal with.

Basement lowering/underpinning and Basement Apartment design

Rocco Schipano took my brief quickly, asked insightful questions, provided immediate feedback on key issues and obstacles with proposed solutions, and then went to work. He provided technically flawless, creative and professional architectural and design services for an extremely complex and challenging project - a 700sf basement dig-out, 4' lowering and complete underpinning in our century home in The Junction. I was impressed enough with Rocco's work to ask him to provide his services for the next phase - constructing a high-end apartment in the remarkable space we created. This project was akin to building a whole new house under our existing home. Rocco's experience, skill and professionalism were key to making this challenging undertaking work, and to helping us navigate the complexities of the building permit process. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any project, large or small.

Plans for expansion

We have an old house (120 years) with lots of character but also lots of improvements to be made... We had a need for plans for a renovation project that required permits from the city given structural adjustments. Rocco has been highly diligent in working with us (and surgically punctual for appointments!) to sort out what we could do within bi-laws, designed high quality plans and has carried the process through to us getting the permits. High quality professional, diligent and friendly personality. I strongly recommend!

One of the best!

As a builder in Toronto, being able to offer all my different clientele a one stop shop for all their drawings and design needs is absolute paramount to the success of my business. We have called upon Rocco to come in, meet with our clients and take the project from design, to drawings, to permit and even COA whenever necessary. He has always been very prompt and extremely detail oriented. The guy knows his stuff. Every one of our projects that we call Rocco in for has been extremely successful and a large part of that is because Rocco becomes part of the team, and the success of the project is just as important to him, as it is to the rest of my staff. Being able to reach him anytime of the day and discuss possible issues and concerns, makes my life a lot easier, and the clients certainly appreciate it as well. He is our number 1 choice when clients as me for a great architect to bring in to start reviewing their design options. One of the best out there.
