About S+A
Shields + Associates is made up of ARIDO Registered and intern designers with a BCIN registration required for obtaining building permits. We are also IDC Members and carry full WSIB and insurance. We are located in downtown Toronto, recently having moved from our fabulous old factory warehouse location of 276 Carlaw Avenue to a young new Art & Technology Hub at 130 Queens Quay East.
Incorporated in 1996, Shields + Associates has completed condominium and commercial high-rise renovations including corridors, lobbies, security desks, entrance systems, fitness facilities, pools, change rooms, party rooms and other amenities areas. We have prepared designs and specifications, budgets, permit applications, construction drawings and project coordination to final completion. On behalf of Boards we often present our design work at resident meetings and oversee the construction coordination process after awarding bids which include paperwork such as WSIB, Insurance, Notice of Project, Project Schedules, Certificates for Payment, and final Deficiency Lists. Our services also include procurement of signage, furniture, art & accessories. We can also complete site & furniture inventories, reconfigurations, move coordination, purchasing assistance and final installation supervision.
Our high rise common area sector is geared to property managers of condominiums, rental buildings, commercial office properties and hotels and our work encompasses lobbies, fitness facilities, amenities areas, and corridors. We have also completed work in private clubs, the always glamorous washrooms, and parking levels for commercial high rise buildings.
For commercial office tenants, landlords, and leasing agents we provide turnkey solutions from feasibility space planning to permit and construction drawings. We provide full project management including move coordination and art/accessories installation for office tenants.
CLIENT REVIEWS
“Just wanted to let you know how impressed we are with our renovators. Superb workmen. Many people are commenting about their work being exceptional. What a great beginning to the renovation!”
“The Renovations Sub-Committee are very pleased with the results of Shields and Associates design work. The feedback from residents overall is that they are thrilled with their new environment. We did what we set out to do; modernized the building while still maintaining the French Quarter brand. The building has been transformed back into being a premium boutique condominium as a result of the design. A particular standout are the chandeliers in the lobby, which are pieces of art. The broadloom also ties in all the colours of the suite doors and marble tiles and is beautiful. Thank you for the work you put into this project.”
“Our previous expansion with Shields + Associates was very successful so we called Vitorhya’s team in once again to assist us with our build out for our new business model.”
“Shields + Associates designed our office layout and managed the coordination with the contractors. The project was completed on schedule and under budget.”
“I recently collaborated with S+A regarding our new concierge desk, fitness and party room construction at 109 Front St. East. Every aspect of the project was handled with great care, attention to detail and professionalism.”
