  • Marcel here — owner-operator specializing in professional concrete flatwork and high-performance epoxy floor systems. I focus on projects where quality matters. Concrete Services: • Basement & Garage floors • Driveways & walkways • Patios & backyard entertaining areas • Structural pads & additions Epoxy & Polyaspartic Systems: • Industrial-grade coatings • Decorative Metallic, flake & Quartz • UV-stable polyaspartic topcoats Concrete is only as good as the preparation beneath it. Proper grading, compaction, reinforcement, and finishing are what separate long-term durability from early cracking and failure. For epoxy systems, surface prep is everything. I use professional grinding equipment to ensure maximum bond strength and long-term performance. If you're investing in your home, it deserves to be done properly. Let’s create something strong, clean, and built to last. — Marcel

What Qualifications Should an Architect Hold?

Becoming a licensed architect involves completing a series of educational, experiential, and certification requirements.

Here’s a breakdown of the qualifications an architect should hold:

Professional Degree in Architecture: Architects should hold a Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture that is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB).

Architect Registration Exam (ARE): The Architect Registration Exam (ARE) is a critical step in becoming licensed. It tests an architect's competency in several areas like design, construction documents, and professional practice.

Licensing and Registration: To practice as an architect in Canada, individuals must be licensed by the architectural regulatory authority in their province or territory. Each region has its own governing body, such as: Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) and Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC).

What to Ask Before You Hire an Architect

Hiring an architect is a significant investment in any construction or renovation project. Whether you're designing your dream home or undertaking a commercial build, it's important to ask the right questions to ensure you’re getting the best service.

Here are essential questions to ask when choosing an architect for your project:

What types of projects do you specialise in?

Architects often have expertise in specific areas, whether residential, commercial, or institutional projects. Some may focus on sustainable design, heritage preservation, or even interior architecture. Make sure their specialisation aligns with your project needs.

Can you provide a portfolio of past work?

A portfolio gives you a sense of an architect’s style, attention to detail, and range of experience. Look for previous projects that are similar to yours in scope or style. Ask for images, case studies, or even client testimonials to understand how they approach design.

Are you licensed and registered with the local architectural regulatory body?

To legally practice as an architect, they must be licensed by a provincial or territorial regulatory body, such as the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) or the Architectural Institute of British Columbia (AIBC). Make sure the architect you hire is registered with the appropriate authority in your area.

What are your fees, and how are they structured?

Architectural fees can vary widely depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Some architects charge an hourly rate, while others work on a fixed-fee or percentage-based structure. Be sure to clarify how fees will be calculated, and ask for an estimate before work begins.

Do you work with contractors and other professionals, or do I need to hire them separately?

Find out if the architect has preferred contractors and suppliers or if they can help you manage the team. In some cases, architects act as project managers, handling everything from contractors to inspections, while in others, you may need to organise these professionals separately.

Do you provide construction oversight services?

Ask whether the architect will be involved during the construction phase. Many architects offer construction oversight to ensure that the design is being implemented correctly and that any issues are addressed in real-time. This service can add value and prevent costly mistakes.

FAQs: Your Questions About Architects Answered

Do architects offer 3D models or renderings of designs?

Many architects provide 3D visualisations, drawings, or renderings to help clients better understand their designs. If this is important to you, ask if the architect includes this service as part of the design process or if it comes at an additional cost.

What happens if the project exceeds the budget?

Clarify what steps will be taken if the project runs over budget. Do they offer cost-saving alternatives or help rework the design to fit within your financial constraints? It’s important to know how they will manage budget overruns.

Can architects help with obtaining permits and approvals?

Most architects help with securing necessary building permits and approvals, navigating zoning laws, and ensuring that the design complies with local regulations. Be sure to ask whether this service is included or comes at an extra cost.

Can I make changes after the design is approved?

It's common for designs to evolve after approval. However, changes can sometimes lead to additional costs or delays. Ask the architect about their policy on changes once the design is finalised and what processes are in place for making modifications during the project.
