SMART LIVING AND COST-EFFECTIVE DESIGN
We take a step-by-step, comprehensive and consultative approach to sustainable architectural design. Whether you are in the market for a new home or considering upgrades to your current home or building - we are here to discuss the broad spectrum of cost-effective design possibilities available to you. Our remit is to help you to understand the value in a well designed, sustainable home and to balance the cost, benefits and value added to your real estate investment(s) to make your investment worthwhile.

OUR APPROACH
Our design perspective - especially when it comes to working with existing homes or buildings, is to assess your current structure and help you conceptualize your desires and dreams while guiding you thru your options. We are fully capable of retaining a building's character and architectural heritage thus we:
- Preserve – maintain the existing building character
- Reuse – repair and/or replicate the chosen design elements
- Repurpose – recycle existing elements in a new and creative manner
If you are interested in a brand new building - we can work with your developer/builder to ensure it has your discriminate design elements to match your taste and style. With Building Solutions guidance, your new structure can have elements of vintage homes – and it starts with a simple conversation. Engage with Building Solutions to get a home that combines the advantages of a new home (e.g. reduced energy consumption and emissions, etc) to give you sustainability with style.
