Let's Talk About Your Project

Whether you're stuck on material choices or need help figuring out if that wall's actually load-bearing, we've got your back. No project's too small to chat about.

How We Can Help

Look, consulting's not about handing you a fancy binder and disappearing. We stick around, answer your questions, and make sure you're actually comfortable with the decisions you're making. It's your space - we're just here to help you get it right.

Initial Concept Review

Got some sketches or ideas floating around? We'll sit down and figure out what's realistic, what needs tweaking, and where you might be heading for trouble. Usually saves you headaches later.

2-hour session

Sustainability Audit

We'll walk through your building or plans and point out where you're bleeding energy and money. Sometimes it's obvious stuff nobody noticed, sometimes it's the weird things like thermal bridging.

Half-day on-site

Space Planning Consult

Your floor plan's not working but can't figure out why? We'll help you see how people'll actually move through the space. It's kinda like choreography but for buildings.

90-minute session

Material Selection Guidance

Choosing finishes shouldn't feel like gambling. We'll talk through what holds up, what doesn't, and what's worth the extra cash. Plus we know which suppliers are actually reliable.

Flexible timing

Code Compliance Check

Nobody likes surprises from the building inspector. We'll go through what you're planning and flag anything that's gonna cause problems. Toronto's got some quirky rules, trust me.

Document review

Contractor Coordination Support

Sometimes you need someone who speaks both 'client' and 'contractor'. We can sit in on meetings, translate the jargon, and make sure everyone's actually on the same page.

What a Session Actually Looks Like

Here's the thing - most of our consultations end up being conversations, not presentations. You bring your plans, photos, or just questions scribbled on napkins. We grab coffee and dig into what's actually going on with your project.

I've been doing this for almost 15 years now, and honestly, the best sessions happen when people feel comfortable saying "I have no idea what I'm looking at here." That's when we can really help.

We can meet at our studio on Adelaide West, come to your site, or hop on a video call if that works better. Whatever makes sense for what you're dealing with.

Book Your Consultation

Pick a time that works for you, and we'll send over some info to look at beforehand so we're not starting from scratch.

Don't worry about being too technical - just describe it how you'd tell a friend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depends on what you need, honestly. A quick 90-minute session runs around $350-450, while a full-day site audit's closer to $1,200-1,500. We'll give you an exact quote once we know what we're dealing with. If it turns into a bigger project, we usually credit your consulting fee.

Nope, not at all. Some folks come in with full architectural drawings, others show up with photos on their phone. We can work with whatever you've got. Sometimes the best consultations happen when there's barely anything on paper yet.

Video calls work great for a lot of consulting stuff, especially early concept reviews and material selection. For things like site visits and code compliance, you'd need to be within reasonable driving distance of the GTA. But let's chat about it - we might be able to figure something out.

Yeah, we've worked with a bunch of solid contractors, engineers, and trades over the years. We're pretty upfront about who's reliable and who's... well, not. We don't get kickbacks or anything - just know who does good work and who'll actually return your calls.

We'll send you a summary of what we talked about, including any sketches or notes. No pressure to hire us for anything else, but if you want to keep working together, we can talk about what that'd look like. A lot of our full projects actually started as consultations.

Not Ready to Book Yet?

That's totally fine. Give us a call and we can chat for a few minutes about whether consulting makes sense for what you're doing. Sometimes a quick phone conversation's all you need.
