Drawing and Building Permit to enclose a 2nd floor walkout.

We had a project to fix a small second floor walkout that was leaking. We figured we'd take the opportunity to enclose the walkout and add to our living space. Had several designer/contractors quote the job. Each warned it would likely need to go to committee of adjustments and would take several months and likely several thousand just to get the design and building permits. We gave up on the enclosure due to the approaching winter and decided to just replace the walkout deck. Cadaxx Design offered a flat rate to do the drawings and permit submissions. They looked into all the municipal code requirements and didn't see any reason that it would have to go to committee. They provided a full set of drawings to replace the walkout deck and submitted the drawings to the city to obtain the building permit so we could start demolition as it was getting into late November.
They immediately resubmitted drawings for the full enclosure and managed to get us our permit in time to go ahead with the full enclosure. They encountered a few issues with the city regarding building permit submissions made by the previous owners which they resolved. Despite the several visits to the City's Permit office to resolve the issues and the two sets of drawings they did this all under their original very reasonable flat rate fee.
We recently just completed the final finishing touches on our new room. Despite being such a small addition the ability to enclose the walkout provide us with the opportunity to completely reconfigure our kids rooms. We were able remove the original closets to their rooms which added over 2 feet to one bedroom that was previously non-functional. We added a pocket door so both kid’s rooms could access the new room which gave them both substantial closet and play space.
Alex and Cadaxx Design enabled us to transform two relatively non-functional areas in our home giving us a boost in desperately needed living space which also significantly improved the overall flow of our home. Without them we would have given up on the enclosure and spent a significant amount of money replacing a walkout deck we had possibly used twice in the last 4 years. Thank you Cadaxx Design.
