Design House + Drafting Studio was the perfect choice for us. Brian offered us so many great ideas and was happy to listen to our input as well, making the whole process very collaborative and enjoyable. There was a real understanding of who we were and how we wanted to live in the space. We had the opportunity to see drafts, have discussions and make changes if necessary. Not many changes were made because the plans were completed with incredible attention to detail and according to our original discussions. It is easy to see that Brian is a professional who listens to his clients, works hard to make sure the designs are perfect for them, and does it all in a timely manner. Brian kept us informed throughout the process and even offered us interior design ideas for post construction. This bespoke approach is one of the key reasons why I have already and will continue to recommend Design House + Drafting Studio to family and friends.

Brian has been fantastic to work with. He works very collaboratively and puts more thought and effort into how the designs work for his customers than i think a lot of contractors do.

He is involved and respectful and i would highly recommend him.

For us as first time renovators with no experience, Brian was great from start to finish - helping us understand the process, giving us ideas about what would work and what wouldn’t, delivering on time, being flexible with some late changes….. all very easy and stress free. Thanks Brian, it’s been great and we love all the changes to our house!

Brian designed the buildings plans for our extension and addition. He provided us with all the Basix and plans required to submit to the Northern Beaches Council. He also provided us with 3D versions of the exterior of our project.

Brian was involved in our project from the start. He has guided us through the various design elements and options with all the parameters that applied to our zoning and building envelope. Many informative and creative conversations took place to form what we now see as the perfect outcome of what we can do within our budget.

Brian has been understanding, patient and extremely helpful with all his ideas and suggestions for our project including the many small details from start to finish. He guided us through the process of designing our extensions and additions upstairs with care, diligence and expertise. Brian was able to convert the overall vision of what we wanted in the design to paper. Any obstacles such as roof height, window placement, keeping our design within the building envelope and many more were carefully researched, considered and decided together. It has been a very efficient process.

Design House + Drafting Studio was the excellent choice and referral. Brian was engaged from the opening time we met and listened to my ideas and offered great ideas of his own. Brian had a great understanding of what i wanted after the meeting and with his advice, my second meeting which included the builder made my life and the builder’s a lot easier, from that meeting not a lot of changes were made because the plans were completed with attention to detail and according to our original discussions. It is easy to seethat brian is a professional he had listened to my ideas and incorporated his ideas and learning. Even now tat the work has started Brian still stays in touch to ensure all going well. I would recommend Design House + Drafting Studio to family and friends any day.

A big thank you to Brian

It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with Brian at Design House + Drafting Studio on the plans for our new level build addition to our house. Brian helped us navigate the planning system to enable us to open up light and make building improvements, in a way that is in keeping with the environment and what we wanted (and within our budget) ! The detail relating to the layouts and technical drawings have been superb and we feel that we have optimised every opportunity from our space as a result of Brian’s experience. As the build progressed, Brian was incredibly professional, patient and cooperative with our builder and ourselves, making it feel like a real team effort from start to finish. We would highly recommend Brian at Design House + Drafting Studio to our friends, family and other interested clients for his attention to detail, creativity, vast professional building design experience, willingness to listen and for generally being a genuine nice guy to work with !

Thank you Brian.
