Pre-Design: Conceptualization & Site Analysis
Every project begins with a collaborative conceptualization phase, brainstorming sessions, initial sketches, and concept development that set the direction for the design.
We then complete a detailed site analysis, reviewing topography, climate, surroundings, and local regulations to inform decisions on building placement, orientation, and integration with the site.
Alongside this, we work with you to establish a realistic budget and timeline for the project.
With a conceptual foundation in place, we develop schematic design drawings and models that give you a clear visual sense of the project’s form, layout, and spatial organization.
In parallel, we build out a detailed program outlining functional requirements and space usage, ensuring the design stays aligned with your goals throughout.
Design Development
As the design develops, we refine the chosen concepts, addressing practical considerations, structural requirements, and sustainability goals through detailed drawings and material selections.
We coordinate with structural engineers, HVAC specialists, and other consultants to ensure technical requirements are fully integrated into the design.
Construction Documents, Permits & Contractor Selection
We prepare comprehensive construction documents, detailed drawings and material specifications, that bridge your design vision and construction. We manage the permit and zoning approval process with local authorities, then support the tendering process as contractors provide estimates and you select the right partner for your project.
Construction & Post-Construction Support
During construction, our team supports project oversight, working with contractors to resolve issues and keep the design faithfully realized, with quality control measures throughout.
After completion, we’re glad to support a post-occupancy review to confirm the finished space is performing as intended.
Minor Variance & Zoning Support
Many GTA projects require a minor variance or zoning review before a permit can be issued.
Permit Man prepares the architectural drawings and zoning analysis needed to support minor variance applications, helping you navigate the approvals process with confidence.
