Why hire an architect?

John Donkin Architect offers much more than architectural designs. We act as your representatives from start to finish to make your vision a reality.

Architectural Design

Design Counselling

We visit clients’ existing homes and advise them on their homes’ potential for renovation, addition, or rebuilding.

Approvals

We make applications and apply for building permits, zoning variances, and permissions to create new lots.

Construction Documents

We provide drawings and documents on which construction contracts are based, help our clients find a contractor, and provide advice on construction contracts and construction costs.

Contract Administration

We act as our clients’ representatives during construction, ensuring that the work is performed correctly and meets the requirements of the construction contract.

Zoning & Site Analysis

We document and analyze sites to determine what limitations and opportunities are presented by relevant zoning bylaws.
