Design work

We have a semi-detached in East York Toronto. We had a stop work order issued and Order to comply from the City inspector, for a front porch. We have interviewed few architects and Rocco from Architalcan Design Inc came highly recommended and within 1 week he had measured and had the drawings ready. Finally with his knowledge and way to navigate around, he was able to get the building permits fast before the hard winter allowing construction to continue and finish.
Thanks Rocco!!!

Rear addition

Rocco came into a project I was working on after the previous architect didnt even submit drawing to the City of Toronto for review . Rocco submitted his drawings and were approved by the City and the job went very smooth . I highly recommend Rocco and his firm.

Service Minded Professional Firm

I reached out to about six architectural/design firms to help me produce drawings required for a building permit application for my home in downtown Toronto.

Rocco at Architalcan Design was the first firm to respond to my inquiry on a Thursday. By Saturday he was at my house with his son Luca to take all required measurements and discuss my project. By Wednesday, under Roccos supervision, Luca had produced my preliminary set of drawings.

Dealing with the City of Torontos building department can be challenging and Rocco/Luca were exemplary at quickly responding to changes/updates I needed to the drawings - not once, but several times.

I know I made the right choice choosing Architalcan Design for my project and appreciate their competitive pricing, quick turnaround times, solid knowledge of Ontarios building code and local bylaws. I wish all my experiences with the construction trades was this easy and painless.

Drawings and Permit

I hired Rocco to design my dream house and I am very satisfied with his work. He has a lot of experience and knowledge in getting the permits needed through the committee fast and smoothly. He also responds well on time and communicates clearly and respectfully. He delivered the project on budget and on schedule, and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Rocco to anyone who is looking for a reliable and talented architect. He is one of the best in business!

Design Plans

Reached out to Architalcan Design a few years ago to draft renovation design plans for permits. Had an excellent experience and engaged them more for design plan work for my next project.

In addition to the project work, Rocco has been great to respond, provide advice, and guide me on some other matters even outside of the scope of work. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this company, Rocco has been a pleasure to deal with.

Exceptional Home renovation permit Assistance

Rocco is an absolute rock star when it comes to helping with home renovation projects and permit applications. He went above and beyond to support us, especially when the permit process unexpectedly changed. Rocco's dedication and expertise provided us with much-needed peace of mind. He's lightning-fast, and his relentlessness is truly impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Rocco for anyone looking to obtain a building permit. You won't find a better, more reliable professional in the field. Thanks, Rocco!

Structural - Third Floor

Rocco has the unique expertise of being both a designer architect and builder. His previous hands-on construction with structural experience and value-driven pragmatic approach puts him ahead of most Architects and Builders in Toronto.

Honestly, mine is a small job but never the less a daunting process for me. Rocco never made me feel like our project was 'beneath him'. He is professional, efficient, reliable, kind and patient with all my questions. Rocco managed to squeeze in my smallish job into his busy schedule, creating all the drawings the city required. Not only is he fast and efficient, but he is also extremely well versed in navigating the building permit process in Toronto.

I would use these guys in a heartbeat if we were doing a custom, high-end remodel. These days, great customer service is hard to come by. I'd highly encourage anyone planning a construction project, big or small, to meet ROCCO and see what he can offer you.

I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Building Permit & Committee of Adjustment from City of Toronto

This is our first time working with Rocco. We've worked with other architectural technologists in the past, and so we have some experience with building permits & drawings from the City of Toronto.

For our most recent project, we interviewed architects and technologist, and in the end decided on Rocco. We now have all our permits, including CoA, and our experience with Rocco was excellent.

He is extremely knowledgeable and pragmatic about construction and the process to get building permits from the city. In the early stages or our permit application, Rocco walked us through various options of how to approach our project, with consideration of our timelines and cost as well as the most direct & straightforward path to get our permits. And because of his working style, it was very clear and easy for us to make our decisions for our floorplans, extension, layouts, mechanical, etc.

During the entire process and up to the granting of the final permit from the city, Rocco was responsive to our emails and texts. It's been a pleasure working with him. We highly recommend him, and we'll use him again in the future for any further permit work that we need help with. - Fred & Cathy Lee
