Sketchworks Services: What we do

 

Dream it.

You have a sketch, or a site, or the start of a plan ... what comes next?

Sketchworks is about taking those designs…

Build it.

… to 'ready-to-build' -- through detailed structural drawings & operative communication that satisfy engineers & building departments as well as builders themselves.

Complete it.

With 35+ years experience including 15 years specialized GTA permit & design work, Jay speaks the language that keeps projects flowing, or gets them back on track.
