Victoria Area's Top Architectural Building technologist and Designers

My name is Michael L. Schell, and I am a building technologist, or designer residing in Victoria, BC, Canada. I mostly design Contemporary Modern and Crafts-style residential projects but my firm also specializes in the design of lots of other project types and styles. In fact, I’d help you pick out a new front door or window style if that’s where you needed my help. In 2013, I accepted an award from VIATeC Technologies' “Most Innovated Excellence of the Year” award, for new collaboration software that extended communication from Autodesk Revit® to Adobe® PDF software. I started my career in Building Design in 1990, and have since started my own firm since 2009. I have been striving to improve the technology that is behind how people communicate with one another. I am fairly active in the Autodesk, 3D Design, and engineering software community where I have served as a technical advisor for Digital Communications, and new software implementations of Autodesk products for a software business, as well as serving on a company’s support team for architects and designer for implementing communication to all North America designers, Architects, and Engineers.

Got exactly what we hoped for; deck plans that would allow us to apply for permitting, without any fuss. We got our plans back quickly, with minimal back and forth AND got our approved permit without any need for design changes. Michael made the process easy for us, was kind to communicate with and responsive to our calls.

We have done multiple building and renovation projects over the past 5 years and we are very pleased with the service, expertise and professionalism we've received from Premium Urban Design. We have done everything from simple deck designs to full rebuilds within our construction business. The local knowledge Mike has from being in the business for so many years is key to the success of our projects. Mike has innovative design ideas and spends the time it takes to come up with best end product every time. We couldn't be happier with Permium Urban Design!

Mike was excellent in helping us with our renovation including our lower suite. He worked with us in coming up with a nice design, and supported us in submitting our application to the municipality. Even after we obtained our approval and paid his bill, Mike went above and beyond and continued to provide guidance throughout the construction process

We embarked on what was expected to be a simple process to build a deck on the back on a 1950s house we acquired late last summer. Discovering a building permit would be necessary and that District of Saanich was very particular about how the plans had to be created, we were way out of our depth and no online software was going to save us. Enter Michael who was able for a very reasonable price draw up all the necessary plans, find us a surveyor who was able to to do the survey promptly, and guide us through the submission process. Also offered good suggestions on modifying our vision to make it more functional and aesthitically pleased. He additionally helped with getting information on the cost of materials, etc. and was clear he would be there for us through to completion. Without his assistance, might still be trying to figure out that deck design software and no closer to having a finished deck.

Michael has been great to work with. He saves so much time using Skype and screen sharing, and was able to make changes for us live on the screen. I really appreciate the creative aspects he brings, and how he can take a rough concept and floor layouts, and create a master piece - our dream home. Thanks!

Mike has been working with me on 3 of my residential projects over the past year and I must say I couldn't be happier with the final design 3D renders and building plans. Mike is very knowledgeable and takes the time to understand his client's needs and then provides multiple options to consider. Mike is also very budget conscience and is always looking to save the client money without compromising quality. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for help with their next project.

Mike did a 3D rendition of the suite as well as a new plan showing the 2nd bedroom addition. Mike was patient and pleasant to work with. I kept asking for changes and having him ad virtual furniture in the suite. He had great suggestion on how to market the suite. The 3D renditions look like real pictures of the suite. We have 8 weeks to completion, but I have an awesome tool to start attracting renters to our new home.

We used Mike Schell at Premium Design to prepare the plans for our legal secondary suite. His set of plans was comprehensive - had everything we needed for the application to Saanich. I most appreciated that he was very responsive/attentive, and took on any additional research promptly to ensure our plans (and any quirks that needed to be sorted out) would meet the needs of the inspectors and would allow us to renovate properly.

Michael was always pleasant to work with even as we made minute changes or returned to previous ideas. We now have an accurate set of plans to build our dream retirement home.

Mike is a knowledgeable and creative designer my wife and I used to redesign our prefab. He was very patient with us during our many changes and offered many suggestions to improve the look and functionality of our plans. We were very pleased with his attention to detail and professionalism, and would recommend him to anyone seeking design expertise.

Thank again for considering Pacific Home as a Building package for your project. As your designer I really did look forward to our working relationship with you and your wife. Thank-you for allowing us to earn your business.
I know choosing a designer can be a difficult and often overwhelming decision. At the start of the process; it is tempting to let cost be a major factor in some of your decisions. When people who are happy with their design, and are surveyed and asked what influenced their final decisions, design can be always at the bottom of the list. In the end, so when you are considering who will be working on your home, interacting with you and your family and understanding your needs and desires, you want someone who is authentic and up front, and values good communication and integrity. I thank-you for your kind words and was very pleased to find that you experienced our valued service and that we maintained our new relationship.
Design
We are a full service design firm. We do all our own design work in house on CAD software saving you significantly over working first with an designer and then selecting a package. Bring us your ideas on a napkin, graph paper or even still in your mind and we will use our design and building experience to find a solution that fits your needs and desires.
One of the best ways to get to know us and our workmanship is to meet us on one on one. I am always excited to show off my work, and many of our clients are equally as excited to let you see what we have done for them.
Once again, we thank you for taking the time to consider us for your project and earning your trust and business.
Sincerely,
Mike

Michael worked with me to provide a highly accurate design/drawing for my new home. While working with Michael he was able to provide me with insight and direction which was beneficial in designing the project. Michaels knowledge and professionalism was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate in recommending Premium Urban Design to anyone who is interested in a quality design experience.

Thanks David for your positive review. I enjoyed working with you as well, and your design ideas in and out regarding your home. I wish you the best on the new home build. Thank-you again.

I am very happy with Mike's services. From the onset, he was very quick with the initial renderings, and I felt that he really paid attention to the many ideas and changes I wanted to incorporate. Mike had a lot of great suggestions (especially with rectifying original problematic architectural issues), and was patient with the multitude of changes I made to the original ideas. I really liked consulting directly over Skype where I could see the changes as he designed. This is what made the difference, as I could ask to try a few alternatives, and quickly see how the changes would look in a 3D computer generated model! I am giving Mike 5 stars, and would use his services again!

I am very pleased with the services Mike provided to help in the restructuring of our office space. Mike listened to my needs and helped get the office from no flow to having room to move and having good working office space. Thanks Mike! Deanne May

Mike at Premium was a tremendous help in the complete renovation and remodelling of several properties in Victoria. His expertise and knowledge of both the design and construction of a complex project like these helped make them all successful. There were many design decisions that were needed to maximize the usability of the space, as we transferred many of the properties into highly desirable rental suites. Our tenants loved the final designs. Mike's expertise about the the full project scope (design, permits, construction, market) prevented us from making costly mistakes, while also enhancing the properties in their completed state. We will continue to work with Mike, and can't recommend him enough. The projects that we completed with Mike yielded properties that were instantly rented to long term tenants.
