Services for Industrial Owner-Operators

Architecture for Businesses That Build Their Own Future

Family-owned enterprises and owner-operators are the backbone of Ontario's commercial and industrial landscape. You invest in your own infrastructure, think long-term, and value relationships built on trust. I understand that mindset because I work the same way.


What I Offer:

  • Direct involvement from a licensed architect who understands both design and business.
  • Efficient, code-compliant solutions for warehouses, retail plazas, and mixed-use properties.
  • Clear communication and coordination with consultants, contractors, and authorities.


Ideal Projects:

  • Renovations and additions to industrial facilities.
  • Adaptive reuse of aging buildings.
  • New construction for logistics, retail, or mixed-use.


Why It Works:

As a sole practitioner, I offer the agility and technical precision that large firms can’t match—without the overhead. I’ve worked with family-run businesses like Rabba Foods and understand the importance of minimizing disruption while maximizing long-term value.
