About Ottawa Design Build Architects
Architects Ottawa is a design build architect in Ottawa focused on working with the homeowner to deliver a turnkey construction project, custom home or luxury renovation. When working with one in a lifetime projects like building a home do you have the experience needed to hire a general contractor? Working with a design build architect means you work with one firm that can help with engineering, permits, inspections and supervising construction so that your project is built to specification!
The benefit of working with a design build architect is there is no one to blame when it comes to cost, schedules or other problems. The design builder accepts these responsibilities and the in-house team can make quick decisions, communicate with the client and deliver peace of mind. Design build architects are more expensive than if you were to hire the contractor yourself but when it comes to building permits, inspections & build quality it’s hard to compare the two in terms of the value they provide the client.
When City of Ottawa planners require a modification to an architectural drawing the designers are ready to update the plans. Working a company of that size protects the investors and owners from running into problems when the contractor is scheduled to build a new project. Together we manage construction teams across Ottawa to actually improve construction speeds! Having your entire construction project centralized and managed by a design build architect just makes sense!

Architectural Drawings & Drafting
Permit Drawings & More
We provide architectural drawings concerned with the overall design of a building or drafting services for more technical aspects of construction. As such, architectural drawings include detailed renderings of the proposed structure, while draftsmen produce more precise plans and drawings that can be used by builders to construct the actual building. Both architectural drawings and drafting are important to the construction process, and both require a high level of skill and training.
Architectural drawings are required to apply for building permits, renovations, and even when getting contractors to prepare quotations on the construction. All of these documents are used in different ways by different people but the most common architectural drawings required for construction in Ottawa include
Site Plan / Floor Plan / Framing Plan /
Cross Section / Engineering / MEP Drawing
Presentation Drawings / Elevation Drawing
3d Rendering / CAD
