Sandra Raven, designer and co-founder of Habitual Homes, reviewing a floor plan

Why design first

“I have some ideas, but I’m not sure it’s possible.”

We hear it every week. You have photos you love, a room that isn’t working, and a contractor ready to quote. But nobody has checked if it fits, if it all goes together, or what it will really cost. So decisions get made on site, in a rush, and you live with them.

What it is

A full plan for your space, before anyone picks up a hammer

We visit, measure and design your space. You get everything a contractor needs to price it and build it, and everything you need to decide calmly.

What you get

Everything you need to build it right

Included

2 to 3 site visits (the first one to measure)

2D plans: floor plan and elevations

3D renders

Lighting layout: where every light goes

Help choosing fixtures, furniture, colors and materials

Cabinet measurements and details, ready to be made

Clear details for each trade: tile, cabinets, paint, trim and finishes

A list of all the work (scope of work) and an estimated budget

Up to 3 rounds of changes

The plan is yours. Build it with us or with any contractor.

Not included

Permit drawings (a separate step we also do)

Engineering

City permit fees

Buying materials, furniture or appliances

Construction (its own contract)

Extra changes after you approve the design

Do you need a permit?

Most interior designs don’t.

No permit

Same layout, new finishes, cabinets and fixtures. Your Interior Design Plan covers it all.

Permit needed

You move plumbing or gas, or open or remove a wall. Then you also need permit drawings, from $2,000 + HST (engineering, if needed, is extra). We prepare them.

Had such a great experience with Habitual Homes. The deadline and budget were respected, they kept the house clean and protected the areas they weren’t working in and above all, are real perfectionists. Really recommend them if you have works to do in your house!

Great team of professionals. They delivered exceptional work and you can tell they really care - their approach is centered on making the client happy, not just finishing a “job”.

Thank you so much Habitual Homes for the outstanding work on our new home. The process was flawless - your digital renderings, your willingness to modify based on feedback, your respect of project schedule, and execution were all perfect. We're absolutely thrilled with our new media wall / desk and look forward to our next project with you! Thank you again, Sandra and Johanna, for your incredible work!

Sandra, Johanna, and her team truly brought our vision for our living room media wall to life. Going through a whole house renovation, we were looking for something super modern and contemporary but not boring, and these guys really came through. From start to finish, Sandra’s communication has been incredibly prompt and very helpful when questions arose. They were also open to additional modifications to the project or custom requests like an extension of the slats, more lighting elements, and handle-free cabinet doors. Something else that also truly shined about their work was their ability to match a very very similar shade of walnut wood finish from our kitchen cabinets. It turned out better than expected and the aesthetic and continuity they’ve brought to our house is chefs kiss to say the least. Their work is a true statement piece for our house and I’m sure it will be for all their future clients as well. Once you see the work, the pricing makes sense, it’s all worth it when you see the final product. Great job Sandra, Johanna, and team. If I ever need this kind of work done, I’ll know exactly who to call. Easy five stars from me

We had a wonderful experience hiring Habitual Homes for our powder room project. They seamlessly helped our vision come to life, provided renderings ahead of time and worked diligently to complete the job on time. We will definitely be working with them in the future and recommending them to friends!

Sandra and Johanna provides a professional service for home improvements and designs. They have lots of ideas. I got my bedroom and family room popcorn ceiling removed, painted, baseboards and crown moulding added in these two rooms. Johanna spends lots of time protecting your area and cleans the place every day before done for the day. I have never heard of rooms actually mopped after work is done. Johanna literally looks for imperfections on the walls and ceilings using headlamp. She is just amazing. I am attaching the picture of the room they left after painting and removing popcorn from ceiling. Keep up the good work ladies. It was an amazing experience working with you. Every dollar spent was worth it. Looking forward to the next project of living room and fireplace renovation. P.S: I removed the electrical outlet cover for replacement.

I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to Habitual Homes – Sandra and Johanna – for the amazing work they’ve done on my new home. I had a vision, and they brought it to life, executing every detail of the design exactly as I had imagined. They presented me with renderings that showcased the layout and design, allowing me to see how my furniture would look in the space. Despite encountering some challenges, including a car accident, they remained professional and finished the project on schedule, delivering outstanding results. I am truly delighted with how they transformed my new place into my own personal sanctuary. Thank you again, Sandra and Johanna, for your incredible work! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

This was my first time working with Habitual Homes. Sandra and Johanna built a wall unit in my condo, and they made the process very easy. They were responsive and accommodating, and sent the design very quickly when I first contacted them. They understood the concept I had in mind, and brought it to life even better than I had imagined. In the initial consultation, they came over to see the space and brought options so I could choose among various colours, patterns and materials. They also provided great advice based on what they thought would work best for my place. They had great attention to the detail, prepped the place before, and cleaned afterwards. They exceeded my expectations and i’m thrilled with the final results!

Johanna helped us with a few projects around our first house. I must say I really admire her work ethic! She did such a great job and got the projects done within the timeline given! Sandra’s design expertise were really helpful too. Thank you both!

Questions

Before you start

Why do I pay for a design before I get a quote?

Because we don’t give quotes without a design. Without a plan, every quote is a guess.

Can I take the plan to another contractor?

Yes. It’s yours.

Is this the same as permit drawings?

No. Your Interior Design Plan is about how your space looks and works. Permit drawings are only needed if you move plumbing or gas, or change a wall.

How many visits are included?

2 to 3 in the GTA. Remote plans use a video walkthrough instead.

What if I want changes after I approve the design?

Extra changes are priced separately.

Can I start without a call?

Yes. Pick your plan and start online. If your project is bigger than the plan covers, we’ll tell you before we start. You can pay the difference or get a full refund.

Do you work outside the GTA?

Yes. We design remotely. You measure with our guide and walk us through your space by video. See remote plans.

Can my contractor build a remote plan?

Yes. That’s what it’s for. Your contractor confirms the local building code and handles permits if you need them.
