As someone who has worked with Q9 Planning + Design, we can vouch for their professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. They are a pleasure to work with and are highly respected in their field. I would not hesitate to recommend Christine and the Q9 team.


I recently enlisted guidance from Q9 for a first time development project and found their professionalism, patience and technical precision to be extraordinarily reassuring, and ultimately vital to the success of the project. Christine and the Q9 team clearly have the knowledge and networks necessary to guide a project through the complex machinations of municipal planning processes. I rarely submit online reviews but wanted to go out of my way to recognize the quality and expertise that Q9 represents. If you are considering securing any planning and design services I urge you not to hesitate in partnering with Q9 - my project would have been lost without them.


Q9 Planning + Design (Christine) has been instrumental in unblocking our application for a building permit with the City of Ottawa. We've got stuck in technicalities and the usual bureaucracy when dealing with the government (local, in this case) but Christine came up with a clear strategy to move past those roadblocks. She displayed a combination of optimism, professionalism and preparedness for anything that the city will throw at you. With Christine representing us we knew that there is only one outcome for our minor variance application: successfully approved by CoA. Thank you Christine!


Fantastic experience dealing with Q9 for our recent MV - I highly recommend Christine and her Team!
