Renovation Planning and Design Services in Toronto
Plan and Design Your Toronto Renovation Before a Single Wall Comes Down
Renovation planning and design is the most cost-saving stage of any home project — and the one most Toronto homeowners skip. From a finished basement in The Annex to a laneway suite in Riverdale or a full gut in Forest Hill, 905 Reno develops the layouts, drawings, budgets, and material schedules that turn a vague idea into a build-ready plan. Our design consultation surfaces hidden code issues early, aligns scope with budget, and gives you a clear set of permit drawings before construction begins.
Every plan we deliver is drawn to meet the Ontario Building Code and the City of Toronto Building Division’s permit requirements, so the same drawings that win your design approval are the ones your contractor builds from.
Why Toronto Homeowners Trust 905 Reno for Renovation Planning and Design
Renovation planning Toronto homeowners can actually build from is more than a sketch on a napkin — it takes feasibility analysis, accurate as-built drawings, scope definition, realistic budgeting, and trade coordination. At 905 Reno, our designers work with the realities of Toronto housing stock — narrow downtown lots in Liberty Village, century semis in Cabbagetown, post-war detached in Davisville — to develop plans that are buildable, permittable, and on budget.
Here’s what makes 905 Reno a trusted renovation planning and design partner in Toronto:
Fully licensed and insured renovation planning professionals serving Toronto homeowners

Detailed material selections and finish schedules that prevent costly mid-build changes
We guide every stage of pre-construction — from concept and feasibility through permit drawings — so when your contractor breaks ground in Toronto, the plan is already aligned with budget, code, and timeline.
Benefits of Renovation Planning and Design in Toronto
Investing in renovation planning Toronto homeowners trust pays back many times over — by surfacing problems on paper instead of on site, where every change order doubles in cost.
Set a Realistic Budget Before You Build
Detailed drawings and material schedules let trades quote with confidence, so the number you sign off on at design stage is the number you build to in Yorkville, Leslieville, or anywhere across Toronto.
Catch Code and Permit Issues on Paper
Heritage rules in The Annex, narrow setbacks in Roncesvalles, Committee of Adjustment variances downtown — design-stage review surfaces zoning and code constraints before they become construction stoppages.
Coordinate Trades Before Day One
Drawings, finish schedules, and a clear scope let your general contractor sequence framing, mechanical, and finishes without the back-and-forth that delays Toronto projects by weeks.
Drawn to Code and Permit-Ready
Every drawing set is prepared to the Ontario Building Code and the City of Toronto Building Division’s submission standards, so your contractor pulls permits without revision rounds.
Renovation Design Inspiration for Toronto Homes
Every Toronto property is different — a Victorian semi in Cabbagetown, a CityPlace condo, a 1950s bungalow in High Park — so every design starts with a site measure, an as-built drawing, and a conversation about how you actually use the space.
Popular renovation design directions in Toronto include:
Open-concept main floor reconfigurations for downtown semis and detached homes
Heritage-sensitive additions and rear extensions for Annex and Riverdale properties
Laneway suites and garden suites designed for Toronto’s as-of-right zoning
Basement underpinning and second-suite layouts for legal multiplex conversions
Space planning for Liberty Village condos, Yonge-Eglinton stacked townhouses, and narrow Beaches lots
Serving Homes Throughout Toronto
905 Reno provides renovation planning and design services across Toronto — from Yorkville, The Annex, and Forest Hill, through Leslieville, Riverdale, and The Beaches, out to Roncesvalles, Bloor West Village, High Park, and the Junction.
Our design team understands the realities of Toronto housing stock — Edwardian semis on undersized lots, post-war detached on deep Davisville lots, modern condos in Liberty Village — so the drawings we deliver fit the building, the budget, and the City of Toronto permit process.
Why Professional Renovation Planning Matters
Toronto homeowners often discover too late that mid-build design changes are 5–10× more expensive than design-stage decisions — and that a missing permit drawing can stop a project for weeks at the Toronto Committee of Adjustment.
A complete pre-construction design package eliminates that risk and gives every trade on site a single, clear set of instructions.
