What we do

One clear path.

JMA provides continuity from the earliest site questions and approvals strategy through coordinated construction documents, construction and close-out.

01

Feasibility Study & Concept Design

Site assessment, zoning review, development potential and early design studies establish what is possible before major commitments are made.

  • Zoning and site analysis
  • Due diligence
  • Massing and test fits
  • Pre-consultation support
02

Schematic Design & Rezoning

We translate the project vision into plans, elevations and 3D studies while coordinating the planning strategy and required applications.

  • Concept alternatives
  • Floor plans and elevations
  • 3D visualization
  • Zoning by-law amendment
03

Design Development & Site Plan Approval

The preferred direction is refined with the consultant team into a coordinated building design ready for municipal review.

  • Suite and space planning
  • Façade development
  • Consultant coordination
  • Site plan approval
04

Construction Documents & Building Permits

Detailed, coordinated drawings and schedules communicate the design clearly and support a complete permit submission.

  • Permit drawings
  • Code and zoning compliance
  • Interior alteration permits
  • Specifications and schedules
05

Tender & Contractor Selection

We help assemble the tender package, answer bidder questions and compare submissions so decisions are informed and traceable.

  • Tender documentation
  • Bid questions and addenda
  • Bid review
  • Contractor selection support
