Architectural and Structural permit drawings/Construction

We discovered significant structural issues in the basement of our 80's home within the first 6 months of moving in. We contacted and engaged Pehzman and the Rigid Frame team for a structural engineering consult and then engaged them to the work. Their drawings were very thorough and aligned to what we needed and wanted. We had no issues with our Town permits.

We also contracted the actual work to Pehzman and team which includes structural beams, raising floors of a sunken living room, HVAC , electrical and plumbing. We are so impressed with the quality of the work from all trades ,the project management and the communication throughout the entire construction.

This is the first we have ever undergone any structural design and construction and are so happy that we engaged the Rigid Frame team. Total professionals who are professional, reliable and do quality work.

Engineering drawings for removal of interior load-bearing walls

We reached out to Rigid Frame based on their excellent reviews on HomeStars, as we were looking to have some interior load-bearing walls removed to open up our main floor, and needed to get architectural/engineering drawings done. Pezhman was extremely easy to communicate with, and both Pezhman and Arvin were professional, knowledgeable and clearly take great pride in their work. During the first site visit they immediately spotted what looked like asbestos in the duct work, and put us in touch with an asbestos removal company to get it checked out. It turned out we had a significant amount of asbestos (not only in the duct work) that we had to get removed, which from a budgetary perspective meant that we put a hold on removing the interior load-bearing walls. We appreciated Pezhman's focus on our family's health and safety first, even when this meant we had to put a hold on the job we had initially contacted them for.

Structural and Architectural Drawings for Basement Renovation

Rigid Frames did the architectural and structural drawings for my basement renovation. Pezhman and Arvin were both very friendly, knowledgeable and provided great advice on the drawings. Pezhman kept me updated on the development of the drawings and was very responsive to ALL my questions! I would highly recommend Rigid Frames for any structural and architectural work!

permit drawings

our company "Royal Work Corp" did 4 underpinnings where Arvin prepared the drawings and every time it was very easy to deal with them. They are highly professional, responsive and easy to work with. We highly recommend this company to any person who plans the construction project.

Projectment management and construction

We hired Rigid Frame to help us with our home renovations and to build our addition. Pezhman and Arvin were both very helpful and always there whenever we had any question. They provided excellent recommendations and suggestions throughout the process. We received exceptional service in all areas of drawings, zoning, and permits. They were consistently updating us with any changes and prompt with any communication. Both Pezhman and Arvin were an immense help in getting our house to be what we hoped it would be.

Remodeling 40+ years old house

I hired rigid frame to remodel our 40+ years old house based on their excellent reviews on home star. To make the house open concept, we have to remove a few load bearing walls, add the supports in basement and strengthen the foundation of the house, Pezhuman and Arvin provided many valuable advices and designed the new architectural and structural that accommodate our needs. They are very friendly and professional throughout the entire process, and I’m very happy to work with them. Thanks!

Architectural, Structural drawings for new garage and home addition

We contacted Rigid Frame Structural Engineers in May 2017 to help us design a rear addition, new garage, and vaulting our existing living room.

Shortly after, Pezhman and Arwin both came for a site visit and then started working on the required drawings for the zoning and building permit. They were very professional
and would always take the time to answer any of your questions.

We ran into a bunch of delays from the city and they required changes with some of the designs, but Pezhman helped us through all the changes (We had to pay for a few extra hours). We finally got our building permit now in April 2018.

We started the construction of the addition and garage mid June 2018 and some of the plans did need to get changed because of our budget. Pezhman has been great in helping us make
the necessary changes in order to suit our budget though!

Overall, it wasn't always smooth sailing with the project but we are happy with the results and through out the process, Pezhman was always easy to contact via phone. If he doesn't pick up right away, he'll usually call back within the day!

Open Concept Kitchen

We had Pezhman and Alvin for load bearing wall removal to make an open concept Ktichen. For some technical reasons it was quite a hard work, but luckily we found them. They did drawing, permit and construction for us. They were professional, on time, and willing to slove all the problems during construction. We had a great time to work with them, and recommending them for sure.

Engineering/architecture for complex home addition

We called Rigid Frame based on their great Homestars reviews for a complex addition we were doing in Burlington ON. While this job was quite far from their office, Pezhman made all efforts to accommodate us and our clients. As a contractor, its extremely important to find other professionals that can deliver quality work in a given time frame. The team at Rigid Frame were able to accommodate our time constraints and provide solutions on a very challenging rebuild. Our clients home required a full rebuild due to mould/structural issues plus we added an addition to the home.
The team are very dynamic and adaptable and we found their pricing to be very reasonable for the quality of services they provided. They are not your standard BCIN designer and they have so much more experience and expertise to offer. If you have a complex engineering/architectural issue that needs solving these guys should be #1 on your list!!
This was our first experience applying for minor variance with the City and everything went so smoothly. We were able to navigate the Committee of Adjustments in less than half the normal amount of time! According to the city, it attests to the quality of drawings and preparation from the team at Rigid Frame. I can't thank Pezhman enough for coaching us through this process and consider him an excellent mentor. I don't think we would have made it through this without him!
Pezhman and Hannah were never too busy to take my calls or accommodate our ever-changing requests. I consider them absolutely fundamental to the success of our job so far and am happy to have found such a great, reliable team to work with.
Thank you again guys, looking forward to future projects together!!!
