Meet Brian Bodorkos
JV Home Designs, led by BCIN-qualified designer Brian Bodorkos, pairs technical expertise with real-world construction know‑how to deliver functional, permit‑ready designs you can build with confidence.
Hi, I'm Brian Bodorkos,
Owner & founder, BCIN Licensed Residential Designer of JV Home Designs.
With over 15 years of hands-on construction experience — advancing from field work to leadership roles as General Contractor, Site Superintendent, and Project Manager — I bring a builder’s perspective to every design. This background ensures the spaces I draw are not only visually refined but structurally sound and practical to construct. I understand framing, load paths, and field conditions intimately, so every plan moves from concept to completion with confidence. I work alongside my wife, Brianna, who manages client communications and scheduling, allowing me to remain fully focused on technical drafting and design. We are a small, dedicated team committed to delivering exceptional outcomes. As a BCIN Qualified Designer, I produce permit-ready drawings that anticipate real-world construction sequences, material choices, and site-specific conditions. Each set includes clear, actionable construction details that tradespeople can rely on — helping to reduce permitting delays, accelerate approvals, and ensure a seamless transition from approval to build. Homeowners, builders, and property professionals trust us to guide their projects with precision, code expertise, and proven field knowledge from start to finish.
What is a BCIN Qualified Designer?
A BCIN (Building Code Identification Number) qualified designer is legally authorized under the Ontario Building Code to design residential buildings and prepare permit-ready construction drawings without requiring an architect or professional engineer. This qualification, issued by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, verifies a thorough understanding of OBC requirements related to structural sufficiency, fire safety, and accessibility. At JV Home Designs, Brian Bodorkos holds this designation and backs it with over 15 years of hands-on construction experience as a former Project Manager and Site Superintendent. That dual perspective means your permit drawings aren't just code-compliant—they're practical, buildable, and grounded in real-world construction logic. JV Home Designs can help with a wide range of residential projects throughout Ontario, including custom homes, additions, secondary suites, garages, workshops, renovations, and full permit application packages.
