Thanks, Glad that the roof and the porch is inished. We try to keep our response time to the inquiries to less than one hour for active projects. Manytimes, contractors have questions while they are on site and any minute spent, can delay the project.
Glad that we could help during and after permit stage. In your case, the inspector stopped the work so timing was very imprortant to keep the work going. B well.

Extension

We hired Ben to do the design and apply for a permit form the City for the extension of our existing house. He was very professional, instant response and quick turn during the design, He also helped us to provide the alternative design option which is more practicable and reasonable in terms of cost and functionalities. He worked really efficiently, during the interaction of the design stage, he always provided us with the updated drawing, options, and suggestions within 24 hours in professional fashion, and he will explain the pros and cons for each option.
He also coordinated with other engineers well, like HVAC, and Structure engineer. During the stage of applying for a permit, he was directly dealing with the City. The whole process was so smooth, he made our whole thing easier than what we expected.
I highly recommend him and will hire him for my next design projects.

Thanks Tony, This project was a redone! We applied for a permit for a much bigger scope and then you found out through your contractor that it might be over your budget. We canceled the permit, redesigned the whole project with a much smaller scope and applied and got the permit. I hope the two contractors I refered to you, work it out for you. Would love to see the finished house with open concept first floor and bigger second floor bedrooms.

Rear house addition design, plans, and approvals

My wife and I were looking to do a rear addition to our house (2nd floor). Neighbours recommended BBA Design Studio. They had used their services recently and were very happy with their reno. I am so happy that we listened to them and used BBA. BBA Design Studio was very collaborative, professional, trustworthy, honest, and straightforward to work with. Ben and his team offer tremendous expertise, support, and value. They are easy to work with and are excellent communicators - ensuring their clients are aware of all steps involved in a renovation project - from concept to designfrom city applications to approvalsand everything in between. They are simply amazing. Highly recommended!

Thanks Zee, Your work was an emergency! You needed a report yesterday describing the work to the condo board. You and your contractor were waiting to start. We came and assessed the work and wrote the letter to the board in order to give you the go ahead. Hope your open kitchen brings more joy to your living experience. B well.

Glad that everything worked out fine. We had two parts to this project. Getting a quick underpinning permit and then get a revised paermit to add a second floor and conversion to two units. We managed to avoid committee of adjustments that saved about 4 months of the processing time. Can't wait to come and see the finished house. Don't keep us a secret and share your exparience with your friends and fimalily members. B well.

Pleasure helping you and your clients. We had a very uninformed and unknowledgeable examiner who delayed the process a little but we managed to get the permit issued ahead of time and applied for the revision right after so no time is wasted. As they say, time is money.
We will be here and will gladly provide you the same services for any future project. B well.

Very fast and efficient

Ben was able to get our building permit very quickly. From coming to the house to take measurements to getting us the drawings to submitting the permit and receiving it, the whole process was probably a week or two. Ben was easy to work with and kept us abreast of everything throughout the process.

Thanks Jaya, This was a project for interior alterations to open up the ground floor and create an open concept. You wanted the drawings to be ready by April to get the quotes and line up the contractors to start on time. We managed to finish our works much sooner (in less two weeks) and get the permit in one week with no questions asked from the City. Can't wait to come and see the finished open space with lots of lights coming from the new increased windows facing backyard. B well,

Competent, Efficient and Friendly

We used BBA for our two-storey rear extension project. They visited once to take thorough measures and talk to us about our desires and then prepared drawings and submitted all the paperwork for necessary permits. They incorporated an arborist to determine the maximum capabilities of building around our large walnut tree. They were realistic about expected timelines and kept us up to date as the paperwork progressed. Throughout they were very responsive via email to our questions (same day response!) and made revision requests very quickly. They demonstrated a deep and comprehensive knowledge of structural and design concepts all while being friendly and patient. A true pleasure to work with - highly recommended!

It was a quick turn around. We chose special structural elements so without any excavation, we built our first and second floors. We had to stay away from the tree root and this was the only feasible option. Glad that all worked out fine and hope you enjoy the added space for your kitchen and bedroom with your family. B well
