Transform your basement, finished or unfinished, into a legal unit.

This project started as a finished basement, but finished is not the same as legal. To rent it legally, the unit has to meet code: proper egress, fire separation, and a legal exit.

Hernez Design handles design plus OBC-compliant permit drawings, with laser scanning for exact measurements of your existing basement. Permits take weeks, so get the drawings done now and build through winter instead.

Same lot. Same budget. Completely different value.

This is what happens when you choose the right professional for your garden suite.

Most homeowners see a backyard. We see buildable square footage, rental potential, and real estate value, if the design is done right from day one.

Designed to maximize every inch zoning allows, without wasting budget:
- More usable sq ft on the same footprint
- Architecture that lifts the value of the whole property
- Premium look, black metal, warm wood, and clean stucco, at a standard build budget
- Private entry, garage below, bright living space above

Bad design costs the same to build as great design. The difference is who you hire before you build.

Dreaming of a backyard pool but dreading the permit process? That part is on us.

At Hernez Design, we take full control from the very first site measurement to the moment your permit is approved and ready for construction. No guesswork. No back-and-forth runaround with the city. Just a clear, managed path to breaking ground.

It starts with precise measurements of your existing conditions, so the design fits your property perfectly the first time. From there we handle the architectural design, code compliance, and every piece of coordination required with municipalities and permitting authorities. We chase down the approvals so you don't have to.

The result is a fully permitted pool project, documented and approved, with zero stress on your end.

You designed to the drawings. The drawings were wrong. Sound familiar?

It happens on almost every renovation project. And it costs architects time, money, and client trust.

We fix that with 3D laser scanning. One visit to site. Millimeter-accurate data. A Revit-ready model your team can design from with confidence.

No more unforeseen conditions.

How many times have you started a renovation project with as-built drawings that turned out to be wrong?

Wrong wall locations. Wrong ceiling heights. Wrong dimensions. And suddenly you are issuing RFIs, revising drawings, and explaining delays to your client.

At HERNEZ DESIGN, we use survey-grade LiDAR technology to capture existing conditions with millimeter accuracy before design starts. You get a verified point cloud and a Scan-to-BIM model your entire team can rely on.

No surprises. No guesswork. No costly corrections mid-project.

We serve architects, developers, and contractors across Ontario and Atlantic Canada.

At Hernez Design, we transform complex architectural visions into fabrication-ready reality. Our work for the prestigious 160 Front Street project perfectly illustrates the "Hernez Standard" of technical excellence.

For this bespoke desk, our team provided a comprehensive digital-to-fabrication workflow:

🔹 Full Component Modeling: Every structural and aesthetic element was modeled in 3D with millimetric precision.
🔹 CNC-Ready Drawings: We developed detailed part models and drawings specifically for CNC machining, including the stone surfaces and intricate metal mesh components.
🔹 Seamless Integration: By modeling every nut, bolt, and material transition, we ensured a flawless assembly process and a perfect fit on-site.

Our shop drawings don't just show what to build; they define exactly how to build it, reducing waste and eliminating guesswork on the shop floor.

When the project demands elite-level BIM and Design services, industry leaders choose Hernez.
