BBA DESIGN STUDIO INC - Architect

Ben was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Having never done a project like this before, we had a lot of questions which he was able to answer and put us at ease.
All our wants/needs were met within his design + a few surprises including maximizing the use of space in the house for our family!
We cannot wait to see it come to life!

You will NOT be disappointed with Ben from BBA Design!

We wanted to plan a second storey addition and didn't want any unnecessary delays. We had heard that if we needed minor variances from the committee of adjustments, this could result in delays of anywhere from 3-5 months. Ben has an excellent understanding of City of Toronto zoning bylaws and Ontario Building Code and created plans for us that complied with all of these. This helped us avoid having to apply for variances, which could delay our project. Ben applied for our building permits on December 15th and continued to respond to questions from the City on our behalf over the holiday. Despite the holiday, our permits came through on January 6th! We have no doubt that it was Ben's knowledge, attention to detail, and speedy responsiveness to questions from the City, that ensured we got our building permits this quickly. As well, we found Ben so easy to work with: always available to answer questions, quick to respond to calls or emails, patient with questions and changes. We would recommend him to anyone.

Ben was extremely professional and gave me many ideas catering to my taste. He was very patient and never showed any frustration when I had questions or concerns. He always talked me through everything and left me feeling reassured. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to renovate their home.

Since the start of the project when Ben and his team came in to grab all the measurements to all the back and forth with our new drawings and throughout all the discussions with the city for our permit, the service provided has been great. This is our first large project and Ben's skill sets were very helpful. We were able to receive our permit with almost no delays or issues and much ahead of schedule.

You will not regret partnering with Ben for your future reno/build.

We can’t say enough great things about Ben from BBA design studio. We had a previous bad experience with another architect and were hesitant to give our home addition a second go. From our very first meeting with Ben he listening to our wants and needs and was honest with what was attainable for our home due to zoning bylaws. Any questions or concerns we had Ben always addressed them immediately making this experience stress free. We are so pleased we decided to go with BBA design studio and will be recommending Ben to anyone who is looking for an architect.

Ben is an outstanding architect. We have the highest regard for his work ethics , creativity and skill. We were thrilled with his architectural drawing for our 3 story extension . He was creative with how to use our space and took our needs into account. Ben was always available to amend drawings , explain the process and answer questions.
We strongly recommend him for any architectural needs

We are undertaking a home renovation with BBA and Ben has been excellent to work with. He has made the process easy from the first day and we would strongly recommend him for any type of Architectural work. He is very responsive to our questions and our permit process with the City was very easy and seamless. We would Strongly recommend Ben to anyone considering a renovation.

Ben was referred to us a few years ago by a friend of ours. We used Ben to design and aquire building permits for a reno and new garage on our previous home. We contacted Ben again to design and aquire building permits for a Laneway house, addition and renovation of a property we just bought. He was excellent to work with. His communication and thoroughness is exceptional. His understanding of the zoning bylaws and building codes make the design processes seamless and without confusion. His drawings are very easy to understand for both client and contractor.
We are very happy with his services. Thanks again Ben.

Ben has been great to work with! From our first interaction through the build process, Ben has been extremely responsive. He’s a good communicator and great at laying out options. He also helped us identify design options to make our vision come to life and helped us think through options for what will and will not work. Now, through the build of our addition, he has been extremely helpful in staying connected with us and the contractor to answer any questions about the design that come up! Thanks for your time and attention Ben!

Our experience with BBA Design Studio has been nothing less than amazing. The staff are highly knowledgeable and professional, and do their utmost to create a smooth experience for the client. BBA completed the necessary zoning reviews, drafted the drawings including specifications pertaining to our project, compiled and submitted the permit application on our behalf. The price was very fair and they met all milestones of the project schedule.
We highly recommend BBA Design Studios and will definitely work with them on our future projects.
