Cadaxx Design

We had a project to fix a small second floor walkout that was leaking. We figured we'd take the opportunity to enclose the walkout and add to our living space. Had several designer/contractors quote the job. Each warned it would likely need to go to committee of adjustments and would take several months and likely several thousand just to get the design and building permits. We gave up on the enclosure due to the approaching winter and decided to just replace the walkout deck. Cadaxx Design offered a flat rate to do the drawings and permit submissions. They looked into all the municipal code requirements and didn't see any reason that it would have to go to committee. They provided a full set of drawings to replace the walkout deck and submitted the drawings to the city to obtain the building permit so we could start demolition as it was getting into late November.
They immediately resubmitted drawings for the full enclosure and managed to get us our permit in time to go ahead with the full enclosure. They encountered a few issues with the city regarding building permit submissions made by the previous owners which they resolved. Despite the several visits to the City's Permit office to resolve the issues and the two sets of drawings they did this all under their original very reasonable flat rate fee.
We recently just completed the final finishing touches on our new room. Despite being such a small addition the ability to enclose the walkout provide us with the opportunity to completely reconfigure our kids rooms. We were able remove the original closets to their rooms which added over 2 feet to one bedroom that was previously non-functional. We added a pocket door so both kid’s rooms could access the new room which gave them both substantial closet and play space.
Alex and Cadaxx Design enabled us to transform two relatively non-functional areas in our home giving us a boost in desperately needed living space which also significantly improved the overall flow of our home. Without them we would have given up on the enclosure and spent a significant amount of money replacing a walkout deck we had possibly used twice in the last 4 years. Thank you Cadaxx Design.

We renovated a single family home into a multi unit dwelling. Cadaxx Design helped us every step of the way from the initial purchase, obtaining city permits and final drawings. This included much patience on their part as it was our first time doing this sort of project and we changed our ideas over the course of project. Alex and his team did a great job.

Alex was completely professional and knowledgeable. He provided great suggestions and laid out a fantastic floor plan!!. He showed up on time and delivered all the drawings in a timely fashion. Cadaxx handled the City Building Permits for me as well. This was a complete hassle free experience. Well done Alex!
I would recommend Cadaxx Design to anyone renovating or building.

Alex was referred to me by my insurance agent. I found him very helpful and knowledgeable, pleasant to work with and providing a full service. I would definitely use him again.

Alex was great to work with. Quick response time, and attention to detail. He really helped make the process seamless.

We continue to use Alex and gladly refer him to our clients.

Alex and Sarah have been phenomenal, providing accurate, professional drawings, obtaining zoning variance approval and navigating the Committee of Adjustment process for Permit approval. They are thoroughly knowledgeable about the city bylaws and requirements and have gone above and beyond to advise, assist and move us easily through what could be a complicated process for the inexperienced homeowner. They respond immediately to questions and have managed all communication between us and the City from Day 1, keeping us informed of changes, facilitating discussion with City Planners and providing additional information when needed, even working in collaboration with our building contractor. Their service fees are exceptionally reasonable for high quality received. I would not hesitate to recommend Cadaxx Design and their team.

We were looking for an architect who was available immediately and who could get the job done in a short period of time. I found Cadaxx on line.....how lucky we were. Always available to talk to. Alex listens to what you want and delivers. Together Alex and Sarah are a great team and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.

I was very satisfied with my experience with Cadaxx design.

Alex was available to do a site visit and to discuss what we could do. He was expert at converting my goals into plans that could be used to get a permit. He was familiar with zoning rules and building code requirements, and was able to get us a building permit under a tight deadline.

I would be pleased to use Cadaxx Design again and to recommend them to friends and neighbours.

Alex and his team was courteous, professional and responsive.
Although we opted out of building, his plans and coordination for permit were above expectations. He really took the time to explain the process and work with me and my wife.

We are using them for our design and permit application needs for our home renovation projects this summer. Alex and Sarah are completely professional, fast, efficient and accurate. Cadaxx has never let us down.
