House Renovation

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.

Garage design and permit

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.

Addition

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.

Plan of mudroom renovation

We were looking for plans to be drawn up for a renovation projection. Alex was very accommodating and helpful. He was flexible with our changing plans and a pleasure to work with. His final drawings were excellent, although we have not yet submitted them through the city. I would highly recommend this company.

Architect

Alex and his team are professional architects that helped my fiancée and I to design our first home. Alex was always very quick to answer any questions we had and was willing to track down bylaws relating to our building issues. If you want a honest architect that is competively priced and talented Cadaxxdesigns is a solid choice

Existing house drawings, new design and building permit application

The day after learning about Alex and his company, he came to our house and gave an estimate for the cost of work. He was courteous and efficient and we were very happy working with him. Whenever we had a question or a change to our plans, he was able to respond to us very quickly. Communicating all of our little details was so easy. I highly recommend Cadaxx Design and will use their services again!

Interior Reno, Exterior Reno

I want to thank Alex for all his hard work in putting my napkin vision into professional plans, and for sticking with me through the unexpectedly long permitting process with the City; I feel like I've known Alex for years when it's only been months, and that's just because we've exchanged so many emails!

Getting these renovation plans completed was a real learning experience, and Alex was always patient and agreeable to any changes until the final plan was just the way I wanted. We had interior and exterior renovations on the same plan, then had to divide it into two applications and re-submit to expedite the zoning approval on the interior, while going to Committee on the exterior (which is still pending, so I may be back to change my referral rating, lol). Despite all the extra work that neither of us expected, Alex was very accommodating and reasonable in the additional charges that arose as a necessary consequence from splitting the plans and changes in my design based on City zoning laws - and, most importantly, I never once felt l overpaid.

So, though we had some frustrating times (due to the City, mainly), Alex always came through with prompt attention to my phone calls and emails, and was always willing to adjust draft after draft until I was completely satisfied with the way it all looked. His fees were very fair, and I would recommend him in the future.

Interior Renovations

I was in need of Building Permit to renovate the kitchen and remove load bearing wall. Alex from Cadaxx Design helped me to understand my needs by providing his expert opinion and explaining the process in "plain English". The permit was delivered on time and my contractor could proceed with the job without a delay.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,500.00
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Contact the Building Permit issuer as early in your renovation process as possible.

Dear Gary,
We are sorry to hear that your experience with our company was not positive.
Great customer experience and satisfaction is very important to us so we would like to use this critical feedback as base for improvement.
We were hired to legalize an unlawfully built deck. We provided the necessary drawings, submitted to the city, and received a legal permit in a timely manner.
In your review, you mention that only half the job was done; You are referring to the fact that we didn't construct the deck, that is because Cadaxx Design does not offer construction services.
We apologized for this confusion.
You indicated that if construction service was not offered as part of our quote, that our price was very high. As a goodwill towards your unhappiness with us, we did offer to price match a quote from any other design company. As of today, we have not heard back from you.
Once again we are sorry that your experience with us was not positive, and we will take this as a learning experience for the future.
