Why Hire A Technologist

Ottawa Technologists help with architectural drawings and sketches to illustrate how your building conforms with building codes and Ottawa bylaws. They assist with creating schedules, goals and overseeing the completion dates.  Technologists visit the construction site and prepare lists of problems that require the attention of an architect or engineer. Technologists prepare the drawings that layout wiring diagrams for lighting, outlets & switches. 

Getting preliminary estimates is an important aspect of planning any construction project.  Technologists help prepare preliminary cost estimates for phases from demolition to permits and construction.  It’s important to have a good idea of budget early to determine the amount of millwork, engineering and design elements to include in the final product.

Technologists prepare lots of drawings, sketches and renders which are crucial in conceptualizing layout design.  While the architect oversees the design and quality of work technologists are responsible for doing a lot of the measuring and applying them to 2D drawings.   Great architectural drawings can be the difference between getting your building permit approved or rejected!  Providing CAD drawings and graphical renders of your renovation can help city planners visualize your design. 

Technologists work hard researching variances, rules and regulations when it comes to building in Ottawa. They find solutions to design and engineering problems and report the findings to the managing architect.  Behind every great architectural design is a technologist preparing drawings, estimates, schedules and researching by-laws and building codes. 

Technologists coordinate between a team of architects, engineers, interior designers and clients to turn ideas into 2D drawings and plans!
