Grounding. is a BCIN-registered design firm based in Ottawa and licensed to work throughout Ontario.

Whether you're planning a home addition in Kingston, a secondary suite in North Bay, or a commercial fit-up in Peterborough, our permit-ready design process works the same way anywhere in the province. Virtual consultations are available across Ontario at no cost. In-person consultations are provided free within 100 km of Ottawa; for projects further afield, we'll discuss travel arrangements at the first consultation.

Ontario's Building Code applies province-wide — and so does our work.
