Design Facilities That Optimize Operations and Reduce Costs
Quadrant Architects designs homes, additions, and suites that fit your lifestyle – while meeting municipal zoning by-laws and Ontario Building Code requirements. From custom houses to multiplex conversions, we guide homeowners through design and approvals with clear plans and fewer surprises.
Every home we design is unique and never reused – tailored to your needs, your site conditions, and the opportunities or restrictions set by zoning.
Licensed by the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) with full professional liability insurance.
We design warehouses that make storage and shipping more efficient. From how high the ceilings go, to how trucks move in and out, every detail is planned to save time and reduce costs.
We design production spaces that make workflow smoothly and safely. By planning equipment layouts and air quality from the start, we help prevent expensive changes after construction.
Some facilities need very specific designs — like cold storage, clean rooms, or e-commerce fulfillment centers. We make sure these technical requirements are built in properly so your operations can run without costly disruptions.
If you need more space, we plan additions and renovations so you can keep working while construction happens. Adapting an existing building is often more cost-effective than moving to a new one.
Step 1: Feasibility & Code Review – We review your property, zoning rules, and basic requirements so you know what’s possible.
Step 2: Layout Concepts – We prepare options for equipment, workflow, and circulation.
Step 3: Detailed Design – We put together drawings that bring all building systems together.
Step 4: Permits & Approvals – We submit complete drawings and respond to city comments.
Step 5: Construction Support – We provide clarifications during construction to keep the project moving.
Permit timelines vary by municipality, project size, and complexity.
All requirements for accessibility, safety, and exits are covered under the Ontario Building Code.
Variances or Committee of Adjustment hearings may extend review periods.
Future expansion can be planned to reduce long-term costs.
We provide industrial architecture services across Ontario, including: Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Milton, Oakville, Burlington — and other municipalities across the province.
Start with a site and code feasibility review. We’ll confirm what’s possible, flag risks, and create a clear path to approvals.
Q: How long do industrial permits take?
A: Timelines vary depending on project size, scope, and municipality. Projects needing variances generally take longer.
Q: Can we phase construction and stay operational?
A: Often yes. We can plan projects in stages so your facility keeps running while construction is underway.
Q: Do you design for future expansion?
A: Absolutely. We plan ahead so you have the flexibility to grow without major redesigns.
Q: Do you work with equipment vendors?
A: Yes. We coordinate with your equipment suppliers early so layouts and servicing match your needs.
