Riddhi Vakharia, Owner & Principal Designer

When most people picture starting a home project, they imagine hammers and framing. Riddhi Vakharia sees something earlier and just as important: the plan that keeps the whole thing from going sideways. As Owner and Principal Designer of InArch Consultancy Inc., she has spent more than 15 years helping local homeowners, investors, and business owners turn ideas into approved, buildable projects.

A BCIN-qualified Building Designer, Riddhi holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master's in Urban Planning. That blend of design skill and planning knowledge shapes the way she works. Before anyone draws a single wall, she walks clients through zoning, Building Code requirements, and the municipal approval process, so costly surprises stay off the table.

InArch handles everything from residential permit drawings and custom homes to additions, legal basement apartments, and garden suites. On larger projects, Riddhi steps in as prime consultant, coordinating engineers and specialists while guiding commercial buildouts, restaurant and retail fit-ups, and multi-unit developments from feasibility through final approval. Through her SteelArch division, she also brings steel detailing and metal building design under the same roof. Whatever the scale, the goal stays the same: practical, functional spaces that suit how people actually live and work.

"Good planning at the start is what saves people money later," Riddhi says. "I'd rather catch a problem on paper than watch it cost someone during construction."

Clients often describe her as the calm, knowledgeable guide they wish they'd found sooner.

If you are considering a build, renovation, or investment property, Riddhi and the InArch team would be glad to help you start on solid ground. Reach out for a conversation before your project begins.
