Thinking of starting a building project but unsure where to begin?
Whether you’re planning your dream home, a new commercial space, or a major renovation, understanding the architecture project process can help you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
At ArchEye Architects, a full-service Toronto architecture firm, we guide clients from idea to occupancy — combining vision, strategy, and precision. Here’s how it works:
1. Discovery & Consultation
Every architectural project starts with clear communication.
We meet to understand your goals, timeline, budget, and site. This stage includes zoning research, site analysis, and discussing any constraints or opportunities before design begins.
SEO Tip: Using “early-stage architectural consultation” helps with long-tail searches.
2. Concept & Schematic Design
Now your ideas take visual form.
We develop initial layouts, floor plans, and design concepts tailored to your needs. This is where clients begin to see the foundation of their future space — both functionally and visually.
3. Design Development
The details matter.
We refine your floor plans, select finishes, and coordinate systems like lighting, HVAC, and plumbing. Many of our clients also request 3D architectural renderings at this stage to better visualize the final outcome.
4. Permit Drawings & Construction Documents
Once approved, we prepare a full permit-ready drawing set.
Our team ensures all documents meet local building codes and zoning requirements — essential for securing approvals and beginning construction with confidence.
5. Construction Support & Site Oversight
We stay involved during the build.
ArchEye provides contract administration to ensure quality control, address technical questions, and make sure your project stays true to its original design intent.
Why the Architectural Process Matters
Working with a licensed architect in Toronto ensures your project is well-designed, fully compliant, and built to last. From zoning regulations to 3D visualization, our structured approach delivers results you can trust.
