We intentionally work with a limited number of projects so each client receives the time and attention their project deserves.
More than just designers — experienced partners.
Grant combines more than 30 years of professional design experience with practical, hands-on renovation knowledge.
Having worked through renovation projects personally, he understands the balance between aesthetics, technical requirements, construction, buildability and what actually works in the real world.
That experience helps PLANS4U create practical residential designs that are not only attractive on paper, but considered, buildable and suited to the people who will live in them.
