## About
WANDA ELY ARCHITECT INC. is a Toronto-based architecture design practice, specializing in contemporary, inspired, and thoughtfully detailed residential projects. Wanda graduated from Waterloo School of Architecture in 1998. After working for a number of award-winning firms on several commercial, hospitality, retail and residential projects, she launched Wanda Ely Architect Inc. in 2011. Her projects to date, which have been featured in Chatelaine, Toronto Life and DesignLines, set the tone for a practice dedicated to the beauty of contemporary architecture. Each project begins as a thoughtful search to understand the desires of the client and to identify and draw out the meaningful qualities of the environment, which together form the inspiration for the design. From initial inspiration to the detailed crafting of space, the work of the practice depends on a careful mediation of aesthetics and function, with the aim to transcend both. The firm’s motivation is to create buildings and spaces that bring delight to the lives of those who use and occupy them. Wanda’s interests lie in both the private and public realms. She has established herself as a professional known for her integrity in both design service and client relations.

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
- A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
