“Working with Ms Dang is a pleasant and fulfilling experience. No problems with contacting or discussing issues. I found her authoritative where I was uninformed, able to understand differing views and to incorporate them to the realities of existing conditions. I think we should be able to bring my project to a successful completion.”

“Our projects involve(d) home improvements and additions, so relatively modest compared to some other works Martin has been involved in. The first one was around 15 years ago and we have been doing various things since: the date below merely states one of the more recent projects. Initially, I wanted to do a lot of research myself, project manage the thing and handle builders, as well as council. We did speak with some builders, but part of the way in, I realised the complexity of it and the fact we would lose oversight very quickly. We approached Martin first around 2000 and, on a Sunday, he visited us to discuss our ideas which, other than having some global notion of what we wanted to achieve, were not clear cut. Martin was able to translate our ideas into concrete plans and understandable language and took the whole burden of management off our hands. This first project was to design and build a fourth bedroom, walk in wardrobe and full bathroom, separate shower and spa bath, as well as a toilet. Space was our enemy, due to a 5 meter high rock face restricting expansion capability, as well as access for machinery. All of this was taken into consideration and, as our plans developed, we gained a good understanding of why certain design features were done the way they were. We saw a true professional at work with indepth knowledge and skills in his field, which is displayed in every detail of his work. We were kept informed about the stages and had regular meetings. Martin pro-actively managed the builders, tradespeople and all administrative aspects, such as council requiremetns ect. He is meticulous and extremely easy to get along with: we have always felt completely comfortable in letting him manage our projects. This year will see a further uprgade, this time a kitchen revamp, skylights installation and a possible extension of a suspended concrete slab (about 2.8m above undulated, rocky ground) to allow for a larger garage/workshop area. This particularly, requires some clever engineering and design and for us, the choice is simple: we will never embark on this, or any other project without Martin's full involvement from the beginning.”

“Tracy from Connected Design did a brilliant job of designing the renovation of our 100 year old semi-detached house in Sydney's Inner West. She really listened to what we wanted in our house, matched our eco prinicples in an extremely knowledgeable way, dealt calmly with hiccups along the way (our challenging neighbours and strict council accoustic standards) and expertly guided us through the planning process. Best of all she has designed us an extremely liveable space that is within our budget. I can't wait to see her plans become reality next month when we start building.”

“Iris Lev has a wonderful sense of space, flow and how families live in a home. We are so thrilled with how she helped us to transform our outdated family house into our dream home. Iris took us expertly from concept through to completion.”

“I had a very specific vision of what I wanted in our renovation. Graham from Project Works Design was able to translate that vision into detailed plans that complied with all the relevant building codes and requirements that were unknown to us. PWS provides professional service and expertise at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.”

“We bought a total dump of a terrace which had serious structural and aesthetic issues. We hired Palaestra to help us reconfigure the building to make the most of the spaces, increase the light while keeping the cost low. Palaestra solved the puzzle of using the space as well as possible. We have a truly brilliant new stair configuration. They designed really great rooms and had real sensitivity to our rather serious budget constraints. Unlike a number of the people we hired on the job, Palaestra really got that we couldn't afford the best or most beautiful finishes but always come up with a good looking alternative. Palaestra always deliveredon time and responded to crises.”

“As a practicing building designer with my own studio, I engaged Neche Page for a specialist consultation earlier this year on a matter where we were looking for certain expertise. I found her not only professional and knowledgeable, but an authentically creative thinker. Can highly recommend her, especially for renovations and extensions to family homes.”

“I & K Dezzine, have been great to work with. They have provided a professional & reliable service, I found Ashwin to understand my ideas and take pride in my project, like it was his own. Ashwin has been very pleasant to work with, I look forward to my next project. Thanks I & K Dezzine.”

“In mid 2012 we engaged Daniel to design our new family home. We were after a very modern home that would meet our growing family needs & maximize the potential water views our block of land had to offer. Daniel's first concept plan required minimal changes. His ideas & design exceeded our expectations. He was very easy to communicate with & handled the council DA lodgement process with ease. Our new home was built & completed in 2014 and the compliments from family, friends, neighbours & strangers reiterate that we made the best decision to use Daniel from Adan Creative Designs! We are loving our dream home. Tam & Brendan - Tennyson Point NSW”

“Jason Klumpp of Tyrrell's has proven to over deliver and all the while being cautious about over promising. The project we are working on is a 'dynamic' site with design and construction running in parallel to achieve a fast tracked outcome. This is not something I would entrust many Architect to. Jason is methodical, articulate and will always ask the question and not make assumptions. I required a team that had a strong design influence coupled with a solid understanding of structural and construction integrity to ensure the best outcomes for all aspects of the build, from the correct distances in kitchen layout to adequate bulkhead width to allow for efficient air flow from Air Conditioning. I would recommend Jason for any task relating to architectural design and the roll out of the project. Dee Bounds Dee by design Pty Ltd”
