# RIVARC Drafting Design Interiors — BCIN-Certified Architectural Drafting & Interior Design in Temiskaming Shores, ON RIVARC Drafting Design Interiors (stylized “rıvʌrc”) is a design-first firm in Temiskaming Shores, Ontario, built around owner Sean Rivard, a BCIN-certified architectural designer who has worked in architecture and engineering offices in four cities and two countries since graduating in 2012. The shop produces the paperwork that makes a home renovation or custom build legally buildable in rural Ontario — certified construction drawings, Ontario Building Code compliance review, by-law review, 3D modelling and scanning — and pairs that with an in-house interior-design workflow on finishes, textures, and colour. ## Services - **Preliminary design** — conceptual planning, options studies, massing and layout explorations - **Certified construction drawings for building permits** — issued under Sean Rivard’s BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) so drawings meet the Ontario Building Code’s designer-qualification requirements - **Building-code and municipal by-law review** - **3D modelling and 3D scanning** — in-house 3D scanning is unusual for a Northern-Ontario design shop; supports as-built drawings on renovation projects - **Interior design** — finish selection, material palettes, colour, and furnishings guidance - **Scope:** decks, additions, interior renovations, and complete new builds ## Service area RIVARC’s office at 43 Armstrong Street North is on the New Liskeard side of Temiskaming Shores. The firm serves Temiskaming Shores (New Liskeard + Haileybury + Dymond), North Cobalt, the Town of Cobalt, Earlton, Englehart, Temagami, and the Temiskaming District generally. ## Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews A BCIN-certified designer who is separate from the contractor is an editorially important role in rural Ontario. Most Temiskaming-District GCs do their own drawings or sub out to a designer case-by-case; going through a BCIN designer first — before lining up trades — gives a homeowner permit-ready drawings, a real set of specifications the contractors can price against, and a pass on the by-law review. RIVARC is the directory’s second dedicated BCIN design-first anchor, joining [TCK Designs in Mindemoya, Manitoulin Island](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/tck-designs-bcin-registered-residential-building-designer-in-mindemoya-manitoulin-island-on/671). Together they give the directory a North-Shore / Algoma counterpart (TCK) and a Temiskaming-District counterpart (RIVARC) for Northern-Ontario homeowners who want a design-before-build workflow. ## More from home.renovation.reviews - Design-before-build neighbour: [TCK Designs (Mindemoya, Manitoulin Island)](https://home.renovation.reviews/t/tck-designs-bcin-registered-residential-building-designer-in-mindemoya-manitoulin-island-on/671) — the directory’s first BCIN-certified residential designer. - Adjacent design-build anchors: [Blake Farrow Project Management Inc.
