Meetings

We work as a remote office across Ontario. We come to you, or arrange a meeting wherever suits you. For distant sites, we often fly in.

How field access works

Useful to include

  • The property address and what is there now
  • What you want to build or change, and roughly when
  • A budget range, if you have one
  • Any survey, drawings, photos or zoning information you already have
  • For several properties, a list of addresses and current uses

How an enquiry becomes a project.

  1. Conversation

    We reply to set up a call about the property, your goals and timing, and tell you plainly whether we're the right fit.

  2. Proposal

    We send a written proposal with scope, phases and fees. If the right next step isn't clear yet, we propose a feasibility review first.

  3. Feasibility or concept

    Site review, constraints, approvals path and early options, with cost modelling where it helps a decision.

  4. Design, approvals and construction

    Design development, permit drawings, consultant coordination and construction administration.
