Questions

Before you call us.

What owners and investors ask first. If yours is not here, the form at the end reaches ADB directly.

The work

Severances, variances, where we work and who builds.

What does ADB do?

ADB takes a property from idea to keys. We test what the city will allow, prepare and file the planning application, take the design to a permit and priced trades, then administer construction through to occupancy.

Can my lot be severed?

It depends on the zoning, the lot frontage and depth, servicing and the neighbourhood. We review the property against the zoning by-law and the official plan, then meet the city at pre-consultation before you spend on a full application.

What is a minor variance or a Committee of Adjustment?

The Committee of Adjustment hears requests to sever land (consent) and small exceptions to the zoning rules (minor variances). ADB prepares the drawings and the case, and presents it at the hearing.

Where do you work?

Durham Region and the Greater Toronto Area: Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Markham and Toronto. Larger land and resort projects anywhere in Ontario.

Do you build the homes yourselves?

ADB manages the design, approvals, tendering and construction administration. The building work is done by licensed trades and builders that you contract after a priced tender, so you see every number.

Fees

One fixed fee. The services page has a calculator.

How are your fees set?

A fixed fee of 10% of the proposed construction cost of the build area, agreed at signing and paid in scheduled instalments across the three stages. It does not go up if construction costs more.

What happens before I sign anything?

A call and a review of the property. If it looks workable, we quote the full consulting agreement with the fee, the stages and the payment schedule before any work starts.

The company

Who is behind ADB and who we work with.

Who is behind ADB?

Acquisition Design Build Inc. is an Ontario corporation founded in 2019, co-founded by Adnan Feroz, Managing Director, and Yawar Siddiqui, OAA, MRAIC, LEED GA, Principal Architect of YS Architects. It is part of the Adnan Feroz Group with offices in Pickering and Dubai.

Do you work with investors and newcomers to Canada?

Yes. Many clients are investors and newcomers buying an income property or a lot with potential. We review the property before you buy, so the price you pay reflects what can be built.

Book a project review

Two questions, then the address and your details. We review the property against the zoning before we call, so the first conversation is about your lot, not a sales pitch.
