THE ADVANTAGE OF WORKING WITH BUILDER-DESIGNERS
Most architects design from theory. We design from 40 years of holding tools:
WHAT ARCHITECTS DON’T KNOW:
→ Real material costs (they estimate, we know trade pricing)
→ What details actually work (vs. what looks good on paper)
→ How to design within constraints (not adjust down later)
→ Which changes cost nothing vs. which impact budgets
→ How builders think (because we ARE builders)
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:
✓ Designs builders want to build (not fight against)
✓ Accurate cost projections from day one (no surprises)
✓ Details that work in the real world
✓ Changes made in 3D before construction (not mid-build)
✓ One point of contact who understands both design and construction
WHY 80% OF OUR CLIENTS ARE AMERICAN:
Builders and homeowners recognize value:
• Photorealistic renderings close sales to clients/HOAs/banks
• Working drawings eliminate contractor questions (no billable RFIs)
• Cost certainty from designers who know real numbers
• Canadian efficiency at favorable exchange rates

Custom Home Concept Design
Starting at $3000 –Changes are the bane of any contractor or home builder’s life. Being the client when changes have to happen that involves giving the builder a big check is no fun either. Small tweaks to get it just the way you want it are very affordable in the design phase. Get your layouts in shape, then your designer will come up with concept plans for your custom home that will show you exactly what the exterior will look like.
Construction Working Drawings
Starting at $2.50 / psf— Working drawings for a new home are fairly simple. When building an addition you have to build the portion of the home that you are connecting to as well and make sure the two will connect seamlessly so that the finished product looks like it was always there. Renovations are likely the most complex to plan. The existing old structure should be modelled and then changes reflected in the plans.
One of a Kind Details
Starting at $500 — Illustrations are difficult to get right. Being designed in 3D our details can be used in brochures and product catalogs. When what you need doesn’t exist, we are your best chance to get it created. Wood, metal and concrete details are all our forte!

Testimonials--
Lawrence has been our secret weapon for our restoration business. He’s been providing inspired concept designs to my specifications exactly for a few years now. These 3D concepts are exactly what we need to sell these high end projects ~ P Matchell
I’ve been a fan of Lawrence “Designyourreno.com” since the early days of GardenStructure. He’s designed my back yard with deck and automatic canopy, an addition to my 70’s house and recently a very cool custom fence. I really don’t trust anyone else to design our projects. ~ Douglas in Ottawa
A Before and After!
Architectural Designer Services with 3D Photorealistic Renderings
Choosing the right architectural designer can make the difference between a project that simply works and one that truly inspires. Traditional 2D drawings are often hard to visualize, leaving homeowners uncertain about how their renovation, addition, or outdoor living space will look when finished.
That’s why we specialize in architectural design services that go beyond standard plans. Using advanced 3D photorealistic renderings, we help you see your project in vivid detail before construction begins. From custom decks and pergolas to full home additions, our design process ensures that every detail is functional, stylish, and built to last.
As experienced architectural designers, we don’t just create drawings — we create confidence. By previewing your finished project in lifelike detail, you can make informed decisions, avoid costly changes, and move forward with peace of mind.
Let us help you plan a space that’s beautiful, practical, and timeless. When you’re ready to work with an architectural designer who blends creativity with precision, we’re here to bring your vision to life.
