David & Liz from architectural design helped us get a project done. The process was quick and easy from design stage to consent being issued. They are definitely the place to go for all your architectural needs. Thanks again Team.
The team at Architectural Design have been great! They were very quick to get our plans to us after taking the floor plan measurements, getting changes made to the plan during the build and have great ideas navigating a renovation. We have been working with Architectural for over two years now, and it gives us security that what we are doing is safe and accurate during the renovation. It helps that are a friendly bunch and always on hand for a chat about the project. They are also great at navigating the council regulations and consent. Would recommend!
The service is fantastic, they all ensured everything was done properly and to council requirements, making the process super smooth and fun. Lots of great ideas they gave us to ensure our new home will be perfect for us. 3D virtual reality experience was great for us as we could get a feel for the space before building. Liz is our favourite 😻
We approached David & Liz to design an extension to our house. He listened to our needs and came up with great ideas. They were helpful and accommodating to all our needs. Both Liz and David guided and supported us through till the end of the build. They were a pleasure to deal with and we would definitely recommend them to others. Thanks David and Liz. The place looks great.
