Flat Fee Design Package

 

$8500 + HST

Offering services in a way no one else does: Transparently.

If you’ve been contemplating your next project but are wary of soft costs spiraling before a single shovel hits the ground, you’re not alone. Many clients begin with bold ambitions only to watch consultant fees, permit expenses, preliminary surveys and other soft costs quietly inflate the budget — sometimes eclipsing construction costs themselves. At our studio, we specialize in helping clients move forward with confidence: embracing creative, contemporary design while keeping the financial exposure measured and deliberate.

We partner with you from the earliest concept stage to establish a realistic, phased plan that anticipates soft-cost drivers and mitigates surprises. That means setting clear budgets and contingencies, prioritising design decisions that deliver the greatest value, and sequencing work so you realise tangible progress without assuming unnecessary risk. We bring disciplined cost stewardship to every project — rigorous scope definition, transparent cost modelling, and proactive coordination with consultants and municipal authorities to avoid delays and duplicated effort.

Working with us, you’ll benefit from a tailored approach that balances ambition with pragmatism. Whether you’re planning a full-scale rebuild, a secondary suite, or a sensitive addition, we help you evaluate trade-offs, identify high-impact opportunities, and stage the work so financing, approvals and construction align with your comfort level. Our goal is to translate your vision into architecture that is both inspiring and financially achievable — protecting you from runaway soft costs while keeping the design integrity intact.

If you’re ready to take the next step but want to manage exposure to soft-cost escalation, our studio is eager to collaborate. We’ll help you chart a clear path forward: smartly phased, cost-aware, and founded on careful risk management so your project can proceed with momentum and control.
