Second floor and rear addition project converted a little bungalow into a contemporary custom home with 4 bedroom and 5 bathroom. New design features 10' ceilings on the main floor, 9' ceilings in the second floor and a large basement full of natural light.
The living space of a one storey brick dwelling was tripled, and a small bungalow was converted into the one of the kind 3 storey contemporary house with finished basement and livable 3rd storey attic. In an established enclave of 1-1/2 storey homes, adding a third floor to a proposed dwelling is difficult enough. The key factor in obtaining the positive verdict of the Committee of Adjustment was the fact that the addition would be constructed on existing footprint, not to mention the fact that using existing foundation helped to save the homeowner over ten thousand dollars.

Growing tired of your home’s design? Like most homeowners, you probably dream of the perfect remodelling job to re-energize and give new life to you and your home.
If you’re looking to do a major home remodel in Toronto, it’s beneficial to hire an architect to achieve the home you dream of. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of architectural design services when remodelling your home.
Architecture professionals have the training and expertise to see the big picture and create and polish a vision of the finished project that you can see and understand. At Well Built, our architectural designers are trained to create detailed designs that understand the existing architecture of home and reflect your new needs and desires. Our process is also designed to keep in mind the hundreds of small steps between conception and completion, ensuring your dream comes true within the reality of your current home.
Architecture is often only associated with the aesthetics of a building: the size, shape, and finished surfaces. However, an architect's job goes well beyond just a pretty face - the architect and architectural designer are also responsible to ensure the design of the project meets building codes and specific structural demands.
At Well Built, we bring our knowledge of various building materials and construction techniques as well the building code and alternatives to structural problems to every project. We will also take care of most the paperwork necessary to get all the building permits. All these architectural services will save you time, money, and stress in the long run, making your home remodel as easy as possible.
The architect of your project will understand the design better than anyone, which is why we are the perfect person to organize the various construction professionals needed to get the job done. An architect will meet with engineers, mechanics, and other professionals prior to construction to discuss the design and ensure everyone knows their job.
While you can hire an architect to only design the project and create the necessary design drawings with no involvement in the actual day-to-day construction of the project. Or, some architects will also oversee the the project by hiring subcontractors, organizing the work schedule, and ensuring all work is done properly and according to plan.
Contract Administration is another common practice. Under this, the architect works to check in on the construction from time to time to answer questions and make sure the work is adhering to the designs intent.
It’s also important that you are involved in the construction process as well - even if that just means consulting with the architect from time to time - so that you can express any concerns you have as the project takes shape.
