Architalcan Design, Inc.

I needed to get building permits for a complete interior renovation for an old house with structural issues. I decided to call Rocco after I saw Architalcan's profile on Homestars and all the great reviews he received. Rocco did not disappoint. All the reviews were true. He responded to my phone call right away and came to see the house the next day. He provided great feedback and ideas for the renovation. He had the permits and drawings back to me in less than a week, which was an amazing turnaround time since he was out of the country for 3 days on a family vacation. I would recommend Rocco to anybody who is looking for great service and quality work.

Rocca made the drawings and got the permits for Loadbearing wall removal and Patio door widening and kitchen plumbing. Start to finish in under two weeks including the structural engineer calcs. Electronic file now used for HVAC.

We needed last-minute drawings and a permit for the replacement of our sinking porch. Rocco arrived within hours of my phone call, and supplied full drawings and the permit by the weekend, battling the worst downtown traffic we've seen in ages.

Rocco's attention to detail is remarkable. He gave extensive design suggestions to prevent the problem in the future, incorporating all of our particular requirements and accounting for many of the project's unknowns.

I been renovating homes for ten years, work with lots of Architects in the past. Now I been with Rocco for 3 years, And the only reason I use him is because of his good looks, LOL

All jokes aside, he is caring person and always on time, that all you need.

A good Architect has to care about there customers, if not it will cost you more money, trust me, I know !!!!!

I am a real estate professional that manages several properties in downtown Toronto. Last week I needed to get plans and a permit for some interior alterations ASAP.

I usually work with an architect, but he was busy this time. I emailed Rocco at around 8:00pm, thinking that he was going to get back to me relatively soon (I'd already read his reviews on homestars), but he called me half an hour later!! I never had anybody called me so fast! Rocco did the drawings and got the permit in less than 48hours. I wasn't the only one who was impressed, but my clients were too.

Rocco, thank you very much for your work. You are very professional, knowledgeable and you delivered what you said you were.

I am looking forward to working with you in the near future again.

Needed someone to create the drawings and do the leg work to obtain the permit I needed for the job. Rocco was eceptional, very proffesional and freindly. He got the job done and I was very satisfied! Thank You.

We hired Rocco to provide drawings for a front porch. Rocco also obtained the permits for us too. Everything went smoothly and Rocco always kept updated through the process. I will use him again for other projects we have planned.

A minor porch reno for a client turned into a complete gut and re-build. We needed someone to do plans, and found Rocco. He answered our e-mail late Thursday night, met with us on Monday and provided plans and permit on Thursday. Fabulous, painless and definitely our now go-to-guy for plans and permits.

We enlisted Rocco to assist with getting a permit with the City of Mississauga for removing a load bearing wall in our kitchen. Rocco was prompt, knowledgable and very efficient - he was able to assemble drawings and get the permit from the city in under three weeks, which was two weeks sooner than the minimum that our contractor said it would take. Rocco was also able to offer advice about design consideration and spacial orientation. The price and times were exactly as he originally promised. We would definately consider Rocco for our next project.

We foolishly began a 2-storey 2-attached house double deck without permits. Neighbor squealed, inspector nabbed us, we were dead ducks. Rocco came to the rescue and untangled the mess we had created for ourselves, with surprisingly little pain, even though it had to go to the Committee of Adjustment for approval. Rocco took care of everything, appeared at the CoA for us, and by the time we got back from an extended vacation, the permit had been obtained. His price was reasonable, his contacts impeccable and his demeanour approachable. He answers calls quickly and is flexible. I highly recommend Rocco for his architechtural drawing and permit obtaining services!
