Basement Conversion Professionals in Saanichton, BC

“We found Drolet design to be very professional, helpful and we were impressed by the speed of service. Jamie went the extra mile by suggesting several cost savings measure on our new home and even provided great references for companies to deal with. In the future, we will absolutely use Drolet design again, and want to say thank you for the good work.”

“Having built two homes before, we were impressed with what Step One Design had to offer and commissioned Mike to draw up the plans for our current home. Mike arranged to meet with us at our lot, listened to our ideas and offered feedback and suggestions to come up with a plan that fit us perfectly based on our wants and needs. He was accessible, easy to communicate with and provided the plans on schedule. Step one Design brought together our vision while paying attention to practicality, finances and the aesthetics of the home. We were extremely happy with Mike’s work, would use his professional expertise again and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”

“BTW Morris is a very calm, methodical, experienced architect that listens patiently to his clients needs and wants. He very diplomatically manages to interact with all parties involved in the complex construction process whilst keeping a rational eye on budget . We are extremely happy with the custom home he designed for us after a thorough information gathering process. We can honestly say we have absolutely no regrets, and can highly recommend him.”

“What can I say about Josh, well, many things, but here is the nails and wood of who he is as a professional...My partner and I recently hired him to design a water facing home. He jumped right to work in meeting us at the property to check it out. He provided a very reasonable quote for his services. And then the design services began...he is so prompt in his work, he is versed in understanding and will guide you in the permit, contracting, and engineering aspects as well. Pictures to follow when our home is done. Thanks Josh, you made building our first home from the ground up a breeze!”

“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.”

“It was great working with Lindsay putting together a design for my first house. He listened and provided some great suggestions, and his first draft was almost perfect. The big thing for me was we were working under a deadline to take advantage of a free building permit offer from Langford that was ending. He made the adjustments quickly and we got them in on time. Since then I have hired Aspire a couple time through my work to get some quick drawings with good results.”

“I hired Inner Vision Design to design a home near the beach for myself and my doodle! Matthew Smith is a designer with integrity and a wealth of ideas and information. Matthew lives in the neighbourhood near my property and I'm sure he'll see the project to completion.”

“My partner and I were introduced to Kyla through our realtor and friend after we bought a brand new, nice but WAY too beige house. We are so happy and feel so lucky to have been able to work with her to create what is our perfect house. We were very hesitant at first because designing and decorating are so far removed from what we do and what we even wanted to do with a new house. Moreover, our past experience working with a designer was not very positive. So, we entered into it very cautiously, letting Kyla know we were nervous and didn't really have a solid understanding of what we wanted or how she could help. Honestly, it could not have turned out better! She knew perfectly how to work with us to understand who we are, the type of lifestyle and style we have, and the types of spaces we wanted in our new home. She really incorporated us into our new home. For example, my partner has a Masters in Astrophysics and is obsessed with astronomy (dark matter, nebulae, etc). So, she had a local artist create an amazing set of paintings to hang on our 35 foot wall, which she painted this beautiful, night sky blue. It is incredible! She also really worked with me to create a bedroom that is a sanctuary where I can read, relax and look at the clouds (on my amazing cloud wallpaper she sourced from an artist in France). We are not only happy with the result, but the process. She came to us each meeting completely prepared with ideas, room layouts, drawings, materials...everything required for us to make decisions. When we couldn't find what we wanted locally, she sourced it from out of town or through local artists and wood workers. More often than not, the items she designed and had created were better than what we could have purchased. For example, we liked this living room table that we found online but felt it wasn't quite right. So, she designed one herself and working with a local woodworker/carpenter they created the most amazing and adaptable coffee table. We hope to be able to work with Kyla again on our next house or cabin. Her style, professionalism, personality and good humour made the whole process not only easy, but fun.”

“Keith Tetlow of Kilo Architecture Inc helped me immesurably with his work on my new home. He is a genius with a great vision and an easy and friendly way with people. I always felt that I could trust that his work would be above and beyond my expectations. He finished my house project before the completion deadline and I am extremely happy with his work. I'm very greateful and couldn't recommend anyone more highly!”

“Uta Nagel developed a fabulous graphic for a mosaic strip to refresh the existing exterior entrance of Welch Hall. The image of a forest in white and greens creates an effective counterpoint to the 1960's cast in place concrete facade and signals a major building addition and renovation. We had a good working relationship and I would gladly work UTANAGEL DESIGN again.”
