FAQ

Common questions

How much does a design cost?

Every design is quoted before we start, based on the size of the building and the scope of the work. You approve the price before any work begins.

Will the drawings be sealed?

The design package is made for review by your engineer of record. If your project needs sealed drawings, tell us when you send it and we will confirm the options.

Can you work from a site visit instead of drawings?

Yes. Send photos, sizes and a rough sketch and we will draw the plan for you.

How fast is delivery?

Orders ship across Canada in 2 to 4 business days. Special order parts show their lead time on the quote.

Can you supply a Revit model as well?
