Cadaxx Design

Alex and his team (Stacie) are fantastic. They prepared all the drawings (2D & 3D architectural) for our third story addition and second story renovation and handled all of the submissions to the city for the permits. HVAC and Engineering site visits were coordinated by Alex and incorporated into the package he submitted to the city. After obtaining our first set of permits we decided to make some changes to our original project and needed to obtain new permits for the revisions. We used Cadaxx for a second time for updated drawings and submission to the city for the permits.

Alex is very easy to work with, he listens well, makes alterations quickly and provided a fair and transparent pricing and payment structure.

Many builders/contractors that we spoke to/worked with were surprised at how quickly Cadaxx obtained the permits and that it was done without going to the committee of adjustments. Many also told us they really liked the 3D renderings provided as it allowed them to better understand what was being done before using the 2D architectural drawings. Apparently not all architects provide this... We really liked them because it really brings the concept to life and gives you confidence that your vision is what is going to be built.

I will definitely return to Alex and Cadaxx for any future projects and 100% recommend Cadaxx.

Alex and his team at Cadaxx design prepared all drawings and permit applications for our second story addition and reno. This included a complete exterior redesign.

Alex is an good listener and a skilled artist. He understood what we wanted and provided 3D renderings with several options to help us settle on an exact look. After that, he was ahead of every deadline for the technical drawings and applications. He answered questions promptly and made small changes when necessary. Cadaxx's pricing and payment schedule was transparent, fair, and uncomplicated. I'd strongly recommend Alex and Cadaxx to any other homeowner.

Alex was very responsive, provided accurate drawings and several design options to optimize the space in different configurations. Working with Alex was smooth and easy. Would highly recommend him and plan to work with him again in the future.

Wonderful service. Alex and his team were professional, responsive and knowledgeable of all City of Toronto building permit requirements and took care of everything needed. No complaints of any kind.

As a GC and Project Manager, I have worked with Alex and his team on several jobs in the last few years. Alex has been instrumental in the drawing and permit application process on these projects. Alex has been diligent and easily available to deal with any issues, quick to find solutions and provide revisions. Cadaxx has been a tremendous help in advancing customer satisfaction. Alex, Stacie and the rest of the team, thanks for your many years of service, I look forward to working with you on many more projects, Avi

The scope of our project was extensive, requiring us to move out for 6 months (March 2018 - Sept 2018). We live in east end Toronto, (Coxwell/Danforth area), our home is semi-detached and approx 80 years old. Work completed: basement lowering 3 story extension out the back, main and second floor remodeling.

Alex was essential the project, giving us architectural designs to consider and finalize. He gave us options (moving the furnace room to the far end of the property) that helped us maximize space in the new living area in the basement. He brought a clear vision to what we had been thinking. Alex stewarded us through the committee of adjustments (in partnership with renovation consultant) and was a liaison with the city when we ran into a complication (an error by the city that delayed approval of our permits). The process is pretty Byzantine so were extremely grateful for his expertise.

Communication wise, it was pretty good. On occasion, we had difficulty understanding him (he has an accent) but he always understood us and our desires. In the end, the house looks amazing and Alex was a core part of the team that made it happen. Thank you!

Alex and Cadaxx Design have provided reliable, timely and cost effective permit applications and technical support for my clients at House Calls Renovation Advisors. Although we have only done two projects together this year so far, I expect Alex to be invited to participate in many more in the future. I plan to update this review toward the end of 2019.

Alex and his team did a great job of doing drawings of existing apartments in a multi unit home including redesigning the layout of one apartment for city approval. He did multiple design options and his work ultimately resulted in a city stamp of approval and a building permit.

Alex was very thorough and detailed when designing the plans for a detached laneway garage. He handled all the drawings and permit application. He was especially helpful when we had to talk with the city planners to revise our square footage to stay in line with the bylaws for garage square footage and green space. I will definitely be using his services in the future.

Alex was very patient throughout the process as we had several iterations of our project over many months. He always made himself available for us and brought a creative touch to our drawings with 3D renderings.
