Timmins + Whyte

Timmins & Whyte designed, tendered and managed the building of my family home in North Melbourne ($1,000,000 + project). They're a small, busy architectural firm which to my mind is the only type of firm to deal with when building you're own place. I was away overseas during much of the process so left things in their hands. My architect emailed, texted and rang me pretty much daily with progress updates. She was highly competent, devoid of ego (important for an architect I think) and followed my instructions. The managers regularly suggested ideas to save money and make improvements as you'd expect of a decent firm. I felt they had my best interests at heart, were good with budgets and managed the builders so all I needed to do was move in when the time came. Unlike most reviews of architects, my comments above are unsolicited.
