After interviewing many reputable Design/Build firms we decided to move forward with Stratas Design Build in late 2022. For a project of our size we felt it was critical to have one qualified team handle all aspects of the jobs rather than a separate Architect, Engineer, Designer, Builder etc. They got us through the Committee of Adjustment smoothly with no stress and we obtained our building permit shortly after. It was comforting to know that the team helping us design our dream home would also be responsible for carrying out the construction as well. We had heard many horror stories from neighbours about giving an Architect/Designer a budget to work with only to find out a year later what was designed was unrealistic. Stratas Design has extensive knowledge and experience with these types of homes and made the process seamless. We really loved working with Sam, our designer. We would have been lost without her help throughout the entire build. Choosing tiles, plumbing fixtures, millwork for our entire 3 story house was a daunting task, but she was able to pull it all together and we couldn't be happier.
Our Project Manager Brad was great to deal with. He was able to hold our hand through the inevitable ups and downs of a project this size. He always seems to remain calm, even when my husband and I were feeling the pressure. The build quality is superb, we love the attention to detail that went into the entire house (especially the millwork). The end product is not something to question with Stratas, they have been doing this for a long time and it shows. We are truly happy with what we created together.
