  Shannon and I are so happy to have chosen Urban Blueprint to design, complete and furnish the renovation of our Toronto Beach home. We feel extremely fortunate to have chosen such a great team to work with. Natasha, Luca, Jiya and Andrea totally got what we wanted, communicated well throughout the process and finished on time!

  Luca, Natasha and the Urban Blueprint team were a pleasure to work with on the rebuild of our Leslieville home. They were professional, honest, and made good decisions throughout design and construction, and we are thrilled with the result.

They took our project through design, approvals (via Committee of Adjustment) construction and move in. During design they were flexible, creative and efficient and provided nice renderings that made it easy to understand what the project would look like. At construction they provided an honest budget that they were able to hit - a small miracle given the COVID disruptions, trade shortages and inflation occurring while we were building. On post construction they have been good at tying up loose ends and getting trades back in to work on deficiencies.

I really appreciated their honest upfront approach; they didn’t lowball and then charge a bunch of extras which made everything on the project a lot easier. Their management of the schedule was also good, and Luca and Andrea put in extra care to make sure we were able to move into our house before our baby was born which was extra special to us.

If we build another house we would certainly use them again.

  I write this review with such pride to the owners and associates of Urban Blueprint. My home was renovated by this company and all I can say is that there professionalism and knowledge was first class. From the drawings to the construction to the installations, everything went according to plan and on time.  Natasha with her interior design knowledge and Luca as the face, I would recommend this company to do your renovation hands down. The workmanship and the craftsmanship is incredible. I couldn’t be any happier for what they did. Thank you a million times.

  The Urban Blueprint team was a pleasure to work with as a vendor for their recent Leslieville project. Taking many moving parts that often add to extra organization and streamlining this with their advanced up to date software. Which allowed our part of the project to be completed efficiently.
