Extremely efficient, professional and knowledgeable

Have worked with Ben on multiple projects and he has delivered every time. Could recommend him more!
Ben is accommodating and willing to do revisions until you know for sure what you want. He is full of great ideas and insight and knows the city bylaws so well! It is very easy to deal with him.

Glad that all worked out on a very tight schedule. Having the inspector's order to comply is very tricky. We had to do a very quick site measurements and drawings before the City's deadline. Looking forward to helping you on future projects. B well.

Rear addition & renovation

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!

2nd storey addition - architectural drawings and permit application

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.

Thanks for the detailed review. It was a tough one to work around all the zoning bylaws and make sure the City won't pick up on any issues related to zoning. Adding a second floor while keeping the existing first floor intact is always a challenge. Glad that it all worked out fine and I am always here the answer future questions by you or your contractors. B well.

Thanks for the kind review, Glad that it all worked out fine. Working on a narrow townhouse has it's own challenges. We had to make use of every inch of the house to create what your needs are. With these improvements, you will enjoy an open concept ground floor and good bedrooms on the second floor. Looking forward to help you and your friends in any upcoming projects. B well,

Great partner in our large home renovation

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.

Thanks for the input, It was a pleasure helping you and your family to achieve all the items on your wish list. With extra effort on the drawings, the City issued the permit with no questions asked. Our committee of adjustment also went smoothly and as planed and all helped to get the permit in an efficient and short timeline.
Looking forward helping you and your family and friends in all future projects.
B well,

Home Reno

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.

B well and don't keep me a secret!

Laneway and House Design

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.
