Building permit revision

I asked Jason re-visit compliance with a building code for finishing cellar stairs. He was very responsive and returned my request within 24 hours. He spoke to the building inspectors regarding The Ontario Building Code and any revisions that would be acceptable.
He was very knowledgeable and communicated information to be on a regular basis.
I would highly recommend his services.

Addition to back of house (enclosed Veranda)

I completed an installation in 2002, and in 2015 the city advised me the Permit was not complete.

Jason took over the project which was difficult, as the room was already built.

He stuck with project over the 1 year it took to complete, and ensured when I hired him, he would stay with it until the Permit was closed
Good first impression, personal, and I felt very strongly he knew his business. I would hire Jason, or recommend him to anyone, without hesitation.

Second Story Addition - Permit Drawings, Committee of Adjustments & Engineering

My project involved a second story addition to a bungalow in East York. I hired Jason's firm after a bad experience with another. I probably called about 10 architects that I found on homestars before hiring Jason, but went with his team through a referral from a neighbour. At the time, my Committee drawings were about halfway complete.

Jason completed my drawings for the Committee of Adjustments in about a week (we were successful and received the variance), and it did not take him long to complete my full permit drawings.

Jason is good to work with - a quality that is important when people like me (with limited experience doing construction) are involved in a project of this magnitude. He is timely, knowledgeable and patient. I found his ability to provide a rough cost for different options (e.g. 36" stairs vs. custom 42" stairs) to be particularly useful.

As far as cost, I would peg Jason as being roughly in the middle of all of the people that I contacted. I should say, however, when taking into account the fact that he attends on site for structural inspections - it really is good value for the money.

I have and will continue to recommend Jason and his team to friends.

Duct work and Plumbing design

We hired Jason to draft designs related to plumbing and duct work for our newly underpinned basement. Jason was able to quickly accommodate our requests and was very communicative throughout the entire process. He would quickly respond to any questions or concerns we had, and would frequently contact us to relay information. He readily gave us advice relating not only to his work, but to other aspects of the job. Thanks for all of your help Jason!

Engineer's report

Jason prepared the engineer's report required for my free-standing garage not only within but ahead of the quoted schedule. He also took the time to explain the report to me in detail. I would definitely recommend LS Engineers for your next project!

Thanks Michelle, I'm glad we were able to get that old dilapidated garage approved for rebuild by the city, and not have to make it smaller due to current by-laws. Big win for the you the homeowner!
