Residential Renovation Design

Home addition and renovation design for Barrie homeowners

Whether you are expanding your living space, redesigning an outdated layout, adding a second storey, creating a garage, or preparing permit drawings for a renovation, ESCL Design helps homeowners move from idea to permit-ready documentation with a practical and code-conscious approach.

Designed around your existing home

Renovations and additions need to work with what is already there. We review the existing layout, property conditions, municipal requirements, and project goals so the proposed design is practical, buildable, and suitable for permit review.

Our focus is to create clear residential drawings that help homeowners, contractors, consultants, and municipal reviewers understand the scope of work.
