What Our Clients Say

"I am writing this letter to highly recommend ARCCAN, and specifically Melanie, for their exceptional architectural and municipal consulting services. ARCCAN recently represented 789 Billiards & Esport in our recent Licensing Project Review (LPR) and permit application for our location at 3645 Bathurst St, Units 201–202. The ARCCAN team was closely engaged from the very beginning. They provided expert guidance on the City of Toronto's Zoning By-laws and navigated complex development standards for our Billiards & Esports Club. Their approach was incredibly fast and efficient; as a result of their precise response to the Examiner's Notice, we received the official City approval within only two days of the resubmission…"

"I am writing on behalf of Byzantine Homes Inc. to provide my strongest endorsement of ARCCAN… We engaged ARCCAN to deliver architectural for a 14,000 square foot private eye clinic project. From the outset, their team demonstrated professionalism and creativity, producing high-quality materials that reflected both the vision of the project and the practical requirements of its future use… What stood out most in our collaboration was the flexibility and responsiveness of their team. ARCCAN was attentive to feedback, quick to adapt to evolving project needs, and proactive in ensuring that timelines and expectations were met. Their work provided excellent value for money, combining design excellence with a collaborative working style that made the entire process seamless… I fully intend to work with them again in the near future and am confident they will continue to deliver exceptional results."
