Sendjani and Partners is not an architectural firm and does not replace the services of a professional whose intervention is required by law. Where required by law, plans and specifications are signed and sealed by an architect, engineer, or professional technologist who is a member of their professional order.

Identifying dimensional constraints early ensures smooth municipal processing and protects your project timeline.
