We worked with Jak on a renovation for a pizza restaurant, Grizzly Flatbread in Ladner. Jak was punctual, responsive and communicated well with others involved in this project.

Q&As

As a Professional Architect with 15 years of experience, I have been involved in various architectural projects, including design, planning, construction, and project management.

With we have the Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) policy in place, you can be confident that your investment in our services is secure and insured against any potential liabilities that may arise. Our insurance coverage is comprehensive, and it includes protection for claims related to our design work, including errors, omissions, and oversights that may impact the quality or functionality of the design.

As an architect, I have the opportunity to work with clients from a wide range of industries and backgrounds, each with their own unique needs and preferences. I enjoy the challenge of designing a space that is tailored to each client's specific needs, while also incorporating my own design aesthetic and expertise.
Another aspect of my job that I love is the opportunity to see a project come to life. From the initial design concept to the final construction, there is a sense of satisfaction that comes from seeing a project through to completion.

Many architects are inspired to start their own businesses because they want greater control over their work and creative vision. By owning my own business, I can choose to work on projects that align with my personal passions and interests, and have more freedom to pursue innovative designs that may not be possible within the constraints of a larger firm.
Another factor that inspire me to start my own businesses is the potential for greater financial rewards. As business owners, I have the opportunity to earn higher salaries and build greater wealth than as employees of a firm.

As a professional architect with 15 years of experience, there are several reasons why clients should choose me for their design and construction needs.

Firstly, my extensive experience and expertise in the field of architecture enables me to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, efficient, and sustainable. I have a deep understanding of building codes, materials, construction techniques, and project management that allows me to create innovative designs that meet the specific needs of each client.

Secondly, I prioritize clear communication and collaboration with my clients throughout the entire design and construction process. I take the time to fully understand their vision, goals, and priorities, and work closely with them to ensure that their needs are met at every stage of the project. This open communication and collaborative approach leads to a final product that is tailored to each client's unique needs and preferences.

Thirdly, I am committed to providing exceptional customer service and ensuring that my clients are completely satisfied with the end result. I am always available to answer questions and address concerns, and work tirelessly to ensure that each project is completed on time, within budget, and to the highest possible standards.

Finally, my professional liability insurance (PLI) coverage provides added assurance and protection for my clients. In the unlikely event that any issues or concerns arise after the project is completed, my PLI coverage provides added protection and coverage to mitigate any potential losses or damages that may arise from errors or omissions in the design or construction process.

I can provide some of my services online or remotely, depending on the specific needs of the client and the scope of the project. Here are some details on the types of services that can be provided remotely:

1. Consultations and Design Meetings: Many initial consultations and design meetings can be conducted remotely using video conferencing platforms. This allows for easy communication and collaboration with clients who may be located in different parts of the country or world.

2. Design Development: The early stages of the design process, such as schematic design and design development, can often be completed remotely using various digital tools, such as 3D modeling software and other design tools. This allows for greater flexibility and can help to speed up the design process.

3. Project Management: Much of the project management process can be handled remotely, including regular communication with contractors and subcontractors, scheduling, and tracking progress.

4. Construction Administration: While on-site construction visits are often necessary, much of the construction administration process can be conducted remotely, including reviewing plans and specifications, answering contractor questions, and conducting inspections through virtual platforms.

It is important to note that not all architectural services can be provided remotely, particularly those related to on-site construction observation, building surveys, and physical inspections. However, with modern technology and communication tools, it is possible to provide many architectural services remotely. I am committed to working with clients to find the most efficient and effective way to provide services, whether that be in-person or remotely.

I take the health and safety of my clients very seriously, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some of the changes I have made to keep my customers safe:

1. Virtual Consultations: In order to minimize in-person contact, I have begun offering virtual consultations via video conferencing platforms. This allows clients to discuss their project needs and goals with me without needing to meet in person.

2. Social Distancing: When meeting with clients in person, I ensure that social distancing guidelines are followed, with a minimum of 6 feet of distance between myself and others. I also wear a mask and ask that my clients do the same.

3. Sanitization: I follow strict sanitization protocols, particularly when meeting in person. This includes sanitizing any surfaces or materials that are touched during a meeting and washing my hands frequently.

4. Remote Work: As mentioned earlier, I have adapted to provide many of my services remotely, in order to minimize in-person contact as much as possible.

5. Following Guidelines: I stay up-to-date with local and national guidelines related to COVID-19, and adjust my practices accordingly. This includes keeping informed on travel restrictions, quarantine guidelines, and other guidelines related to my industry.

Overall, my goal is to provide my clients with exceptional service while also prioritizing their health and safety. By following these practices, I can ensure that my clients feel comfortable and secure while working with me.
