House Plans Services in Blue Mountains Municipality, New South Wales

“Thank you Gary for designing my dream home. Gary's been so easy to deal with and had some great ideas throughout the process. Any amendments were done in timely manner and it was a breeze to explain my ideas to Gary which he reflected in the design. The experience of designing my house with Gary have been positive and enjoyable right from start to finish.”

“Jamie Brennan helped us design an amazing house. We had definite ideas about many elements of the house, then Jamie added the finishing touches in patient consultation with us over 10 years (we took our time!). His design contribution preserved our ideas and integrated them within a beautiful, coherent, and unique structure. During the construction phase, Jamie provided vital input during weekly meetings to keep the construction true to our intent, when compromised quality was possible. It was clear that he had thought through nearly every phase and element of construction, and he was able to provide fast solutions when others found our unique requirements challenging. Jamie focused on both the fine details and the big picture of the house and its position in the landscape. We have a house that serves our needs: it’s warm, has plenty of natural light, is airy, comfortable, and a pleasure to live in. It’s also a delight to look at from all angles: inside, the garden, the neighbour's house, and the street.”

“Kirstie was fabulous! We had an idea in mind for our extension with some uncertainty and a lack of knowledge and so engaged Shelter to draw up plans to submit to council. We wanted an extension than fit in with the look and feel of our old house, but dressed it up a bit, and provided the extra space we needed with the funds we had available. We also needed to address heating and cooling concerns. Kirstie was able to make experienced recommendations and suggestions that have worked much better than what we had in mind, and provide advice in relation to energy efficiency regarding heating/cooling etc. When we decided after the innitial drawings that what we’d asked for wasn’t quite right Kirstie quickly made the necessary changes without issue. Communication and response times are obviously important to Kirstie...she always responds in a timely manner. We are delighted with the final outcome and everything was perfect in terms of getting council approval. The design/plans were completed quickly, and Kirstie provided all corresponding paperwork completed for us to sign before submitting to council on our behalf. The price for her time/services was less than we expected and her estimate of council costs was spot on! I would definately engage Kirstie for any future work we do.”
