Space Planning and Schematic Design

We will examine your space and develop preliminary layout plans, in order to place correctly the functional areas for your practice. This information will provide guidance as to the existing and proposed usage, development potential and will help solidify your short and long term goal for the space.

Contract Documents

Following approval to proceed with a selected layout plan, we will proceed developing the ceiling plans and specifications, cabinetry and millwork drawings, Architectural Interior elevations, hardware and door schedules. This information, along with Mechanical and Electrical Engineering drawings, will be required to establish a scope of work by the General Contractors, and provide accurate pricing for your project.

Permit Submission

If required, we can coordinate the process of submission of all the Drawings and Specifications on your behalf, in order to apply for a Building Permit with local authorities. This will include obtaining Drawings and Specifications from Engineering Consultants, review for Building Code Compliance and submission to the City. Please note, fees for Permit processing are goverend by local authorities and will depend on scope and size of project.

Tender Administration

The process involves issuing the contract documents to interested General Contractors for bidding. When necessary, we will also issue a document entitled ìInstructions to Biddersî which outlines the project description, contacts and general requirements that the GC will have to meet should they be awarded the project.

Value Engineering

Following selection of the General Contractor and finalizing Contract Documentation, we review the final specifications and determine whether there are any possibilities for cost savings on the project, without compromising the Design Intent. This process may produce savings, depending on suggestions and trade connections brought to the table by the General Contractor.

Contract Administration

Contract Administration is a phase where we administer your Contract for Construction with the General Contractor. As part of this process, we will represent your interests during construction; visit the site on regular progress meetings and review General Contractor's application for progress payments.

I highly recommend working with Kathryn - no matter how big or small the project her involvement will make a noticeable difference. - Livia Grujich - Co-founder and Managing Director, OnQ Communcations -

It was a pleasure working with Kathryn. This was my first dental office and I had envisioned it in a certain way. Kathryn not only made it come true but did better than that!! She did an excellent job with colors and interiors that everybody from patients to the delivery guy who has entered my office has loved it. The integration of modern acrylic panels to give it a touch of nature is fascinating! She has always been there to guide the contractors and to check on things when they were being installed. Kathryn has never refused to see me if I needed to discuss things with her or have a meeting at her office. I would strongly recommend Kathryn and her team to anyone looking to build a new office for a personalized and outstanding design and style. Thank you Kathryn!! - Dr. Rachana Chhabra - Dentist, Conlin Dentistry Oshawa -
