Maryann White
I worked with Vizion Media Consulting for completing plans for a two bedroom legal basement apartment. Ray worked closely with my contractor during the permitting and renovation stages of the project. We were pleased with the timely fashion with which the plans were completed. Ray was easy to get in touch with, always returned calls and texts and kept me well informed during the entire planning stages of his part in the renovation. More...

I highly recommend Vizion Media Inc. From the time I met Ray he was professional knowledgeable with getting the drawings done, we had to deal with the city of Belleville to make a few changes and he went above and beyond sitting in on calls and communicating with them until we came up with a solution. I would definitely use Ray and his company again on our next project, so if you want experience and quality work I would suggest you try Vizion Media Inc. More...

We had the pleasure on 2 occasions to work with Ray McCarthy of Vizion Media Inc. in 2021-22. Ray's knowledge of the entire process from our initial consultation, conceptual interpretation, permitting, corresponding with Town officials and our contractor were professional, timely and without issue. He kept us immediately informed of any matters needed and was easily reached and responded in a friendly and thorough manner. We would certainly refer Ray and his team to anyone who is opening a business and in need of architectural services and/or advice related to all matters of zoning, permitting, building as well as referrals to almost any service related to construction. We were very please from beginning to end. More...

Ray has been a professional through every step of this process. He was up front from the beginning with what we could expect with regard to budget and timeline, including all possible paths. Communication has been exemplary and he represented us at a City of Toronto hearing in which the city representatives complimented his completeness and professionalism of drawings submitted. I would not hesitate to recommend Ray to anyone in need of his services! More...

Unprofessional. Did not provide the services that I paid for.

Sorry we could not come to terms with your permit submission. Wrong information was provided by you and your team which resulted in the city rejecting your permit application which is out of my control.
Brian
I called Ray to get drawings done for a fire- rated ceiling and to help get me a permit issued from the Town of Whitby, for the work to be carried out.
He was extremely prompt and efficient in looking after all that needed to be done from start
to finish. He even went the extra mile by introducing me CSM construction as i was having difficulty finding a contractor to get the work done.
Ray took it upon himself to personally see that
the work got completed in a timely fashion. He personally visited the site to ensure all the work was completed properly and filed all the paperwork required for approval by the Town of Whitby as per their criteria. I will definitely use him for all my future needs and highly recommend
him to anyone looking for architectural work to be done as he is trustworthy, committed and very reasonably priced

Hi Brian, it was a pleasure to look after you and your project! You are a great client to have.
How can someone tell if their Garage is suitable for conversion?
It will depend on the circumstance. Not every project is the same. Some evaluation will be required.
Run us through the different stages of the Garage conversion process - what's involved?
You must determine the scope of work before determining the budget. I have clients telling me what their budget is before telling me what they want included in our fee. The final end results depends on their needs and wants. It usually includes everything. The garage could included adding exterior wall insulation and providing for heat and ventilation.
How can someone tell if their loft is suitable for conversion?
Not all lofts are suitable for conversion. We have to review the existing building elements such as structural integrity, expansion or replacement of the HVAC system due to increase in square footage. Feel free to ask a design professional like Vizion Media Inc.

What do you love most about your job?
I love designing. I have impeccable problem solving skills. I design everyone of my projects in 3D. I think in 3D. I talk in 3D. The surprised look and positive attitude with a winning smile makes my day. Some clients don't realize that the design and permit process can be a daunting task. When I point out what is require to be decided to complete a task, they realize how smooth we can make the process less painful.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have created my own business 3 years ago for the freedom to work with any type of client I choose or if they choose VMI.

I provide step by step hand holding to make sure the client can make an informed decision on the next move. I have a method of being organized and keep the client in the loop through all processes. I take the head aches away for making informed decisions. I always know what to expect with the next step. I always have to be ahead of the question or curve.
