Our Process
Our role is to provide clear communication throughout the project, ensuring that design intent, consultant coordination, and regulatory requirements remain aligned from start to finish. Our approach is grounded in technical rigor, clear communication, and a practical understanding of the complexities of working with existing buildings.
Our process includes:
End-to-end permitting management, including direct coordination with municipalities
Development of clear, coordinated architectural drawing packages, aligned with consultant inputs and developed for efficient permitting and construction execution
Extensive experience across BC jurisdictions, with a strong understanding of local permitting processes and requirements
Efficient, coordinated document production, enabling fast and responsive revisions
Deep familiarity with insurance restoration workflows, including insurer coordination and required documentation
Leadership and coordination of consultant teams, integrating structural, building envelope, and code requirements into a cohesive design package
Consistent field review and contract administration, ensuring built work aligns with the design intent and approved documents
Experience Across BC
We have extensive experience working across municipalities throughout British Columbia.
This includes managing projects through their full lifecycles, from initial design and permit submission until construction and final inspections. Our familiarity with the municipal processes, review standards, and application of the BC Building Code allows us to anticipate City-specific requirements early in the process, reducing delays during approvals and construction.

About Us
Re_Studio is an architecture practice specializing in restoration after fire and flood damage.
As architects, we have an affinity for housing and facilitating spaces which can hold a home. When a building is damaged by flood or fire, the emotional and logistical load on residents is a heavy one to carry. Re_Studio’s primary aim is to lessen some of that load and help people get back into their homes as soon as possible.
We act as the prime consultant, leading projects from initial assessment through to final inspection. This includes not only the preparation of architectural drawings, but full management of the permitting process by coordinating submissions, responding to municipal plan reviewers, and working directly with our trusted consultants.
Our approach is a collaborative one in which we first clarify our clients’ goals, whether that means the 1:1 restoration of the property aesthetically and structurally, or whether there is a desire to imagine something new. Whatever the goals, we aim to frame our projects as opportunities for recovery and renewal.
