“We had no prior relationship with Oakwood, but were impressed with the quality of staff that we dealt with, from the first contact through to the finished renovation. We needed a variance to be allowed to obtain the proper permits and John Liptak, owner of Oakwood was instrumental in obtaining this on our behalf. Without his personal interest in our renovation, we would not have proceeded with the project. John also gave us the benefit of his years of experience with various suggestions for our room. Our design specialist was wonderful, offering many unique ideas for us to consider, always offering various solutions to meet our budget. We particularly love the windows and paneling in our great room. The quality of the work was top notch. The wood craftsman assigned to our project did an exceptional job on the ceiling beams and the paneling. Dave’s work makes this room so beautiful and unique. The project manager was very knowledgeable and worked on our behalf to make sure that all the little details were dealt with to our satisfaction. Trent was very responsive to our needs and concerns. We can speak to Oakwood’s integrity and professionalism. They wanted the addition to be a room that we would be take pleasure and pride in for many years to come. We truly marvel at the room each day when we enter it. We are very satisfied with our experience and relationship with Oakwood.”

“I have worked with SAI Consulting on many projects over the years both commercial and residential. This design firm has great vision, capturing the designs of their clients. Whether it is a simple or complex design, SAI Consulting has the expertise. Scott takes a lot of pride in his designs. He is reliable, responsible, reasonable and accountable. He is one of the best designers which I have worked with as a structural engineer.”

“Diane did an amazing job transforming our house into the perfect home! When we sold our house this past spring everyone kept commenting on the amazing design! Diane also did an amazing job managing the project - so much that I kept saying "doing a reno is easy"! I realize it was easy as Diane was carrying all my stress. She managed the timelines and the budget brilliantly! And of course - she was very easy and professional. I was always confident with her advice - I knew it was well researched and thought through! I also knew that the contracts she provided and the payments she approved were done correctly - and I didn't have to worry about issues with contractors. My husband and I would highly recommend her!

“We enjoyed working with John to design the plans for our custom home (1850 sqft bungalow). He came highly recommended. He was very knowledgeable and was able to provide guidance and insight that we truly appreciated. He had recommendations/suggestions that were helpful and added features/functions that we would not have had without using him as an Architect. Our house was just completed in March.”

“We contracted with Open Concept Home Design in 2012 to design and build a major addition to our modest 1400 sf bungalow. We met with five other design build companies in the area but were most impressed with OCHD. The design process was handled by Niels, the owner, and it was a fun collaborative process that resulted in a floor plan that met all of our wish list with a beautiful exterior that seemlessly integrated the existing structure. Our home was transformed from a cramped little house to a gracious living space with room to entertain large crowds, closets everywhere (!), a beautiful master bedroom and ensuite and a huge kitchen and adjacent dining area. The end result was everything we wanted and more, on time and on budget (they are known for tight cost control). The building process was extremely well executed with constant oversight by OCHD to ensure that no detail was overlooked. OCHD took care of everything, we only had to make the fun decisions like choosing finishes or paint colours, but even there we were given lots of suggestions when we couldn't decide or were suffering from "decision exhaustion". Yet if we wanted to make changes along the way, those were easily accommodated. If you are a homeowner contemplating a renovation or new build, you would do well to at least meet with OCHD for a free consult. Reasonable construction costs, excellent design sense, a great client-builder relationship, and most importantly a beautiful final product - your new home! I can honestly say that working with OCHD was a pleasure and one of the best things to happen to our family. June 29, 2013”

“We embarked on a complete house rebuild due to a house fire. This was an enormous project that required oversight of 100% of the rebuild from start to finish. Without the guidance and expertise of Jason Grant-Henley we would have been completely overwhelmed. Jason was patient with us, and developed the proper permits for the city in a timely manner. Jason is the most creative and "in touch with nature" person we know. Our home is a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired design. Jason created a therapeutic home to come home to every day. The quality of his work takes your breath away! Everyone that sees this landmark Manotick home agrees. We are forever grateful to have met Jason, and extremely happy that we forged a relationship with this brilliant man.”

“Professional and personal service! Highly recommended for home design and renovation projects. We hired HASHTI Consultants Inc. to help us develop a plan to redesign the exterior of our older home. After several consultations, they provided us with a number of design options to chose from. We worked together to refine the plan and were appreciative of they responsiveness to our questions and comments. We have now developed a final plan and were so impressed with their professionalism and the level of communication throughout the process that we plan to hire HASHTI to oversee the building phase of this project. I know that our project will be in good hands.”

“We have worked with John at HDD for a number of years on many projects and continue to work with him on a regular basis. He is very profession, has a high attention to detail, and has great communication skills. Through the years we have found him to be extremely helpful and that he has great vision to create wonderful designs. We highly recommend John to anyone looking for a professional architectural technologist.”

“We remember our first meeting with Jim when he was still with David Malling, first impression Jim is an excellent listener. We had done our research and were full of ideas on what we wanted in a home. Our dream home was not simple, curved walls, interesting roof lines, timber frame beams, oversized windows and doors, a massive fireplace, Jim made it all come to life on paper. Some of Jim's best attributes were his calm manner, promptness and availability. He was always reachable or prompt in getting back if we or our general contractor had a question or an issue. This was so reassuring especially when you are in the thick of a project of this magnitude. Building a home from scratch is never easy, but Jim helped simplify some decision making. His sample charts for example for the exterior of our home, he had choices for colour/style/texture to help us envision where we wanted stone versus brick and wood siding. When we think back on our overall experience in building our beautiful home, hiring Jim to design it was one of the best decisions we had made. Thanks Jim for making our dream come true !!!!!!”
