In order to have a productive first meeting, we suggest you bring photos of your inspirations or any other document that can help us understand your style and tastes. Here are some other food for thought:

• What architectural style are you looking for? Modern, country, castle or others;
• What type of house do you want? Single storey, floor, landings or bi-generation;
• How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you want?
• With or without garage?
• What is the number of square feet targeted?

Ideally, yes, but it is not an obligation. On the other hand, if you already have land, it will be easier to optimize your house plan in its environment, which will allow you to position your house to maximize sunlight.

• your plan will comply with the current standards of the Quebec construction code;
• hold professional liability insurance;
• the seal of a technologist will allow you to apply for a building permit from your municipality more easily;
• a plan from an architectural technologist will facilitate the request for quotes from general contractors and subcontractors;
• will be able to translate your ideas onto paper, according to your tastes and style;
• will be able to optimize your living space, the configuration and layout of your rooms;
• will be able to advise you on the different construction options available to you.

The cost of designing an architectural plan can vary depending on the complexity and size of the construction project. A cost estimate will be determined during the first meeting.

The deadline may vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. The adjustments to be made to the plan following the first sketches as well as the time for reflection required by the client can also have an impact on the deadline.

1. A first meeting will be organized to discuss your project;
2. A cost estimate will be established based on the size and complexity of the project;
3. A delivery time will be established;
4. A contract will be put in place;
5. A first sketch of the plans will be issued;
6. Meetings will be organized or emails will be exchanged regarding the modifications to be made;
7. The corrected sketches will be returned to you for approval;
8. Technical details and construction plans will be finalized;
9. Delivery of plans to the client.

Your house plan is the basis of one of your most beautiful life projects! Avoid the additional costs that a construction plan that does not hold up could cause.

As an architectural technologist, member of the OTPQ, I will be available to answer your questions, even after delivery of your plan!
