Sustainable Design Services in Ballarat, Victoria

“We chose to build with Kustom Living as we had seen their workmanship in two of their previous projects. Working with Greg, Andy, their team, and our architect, we realised our dream, downsized home. The entire process, from their initial inspection of our block of land, the design, planning and construction, was smooth and seamless (from our perspective) and a pleasure to navigate and experience (in spite of lockdowns etc.). Importantly for us (given that we were renting during the building process), was the fact that every stage of the building process had a timeframe by which it was to be completed and it was at every stage, and earlier, in most cases. Communication was key in the process of building our house and Greg and Andy (in particular) were available to respond to all our queries in a timely manner which was really appreciated. Kustom Living exceeded our expectations in terms of ensuring that we were satisfied with the progress of the project. Advice and recommendations were always available (and given) as we made changes along the way and these were always accommodated by Greg and his team (special thanks to James and Billy). We could not be happier with the building quality and all materials used and we were always consulted along the way. Our house was completed ahead of schedule and presented beautifully to us at handover. We absolutely love our home. We would not hesitate to recommend Kustom Living as a boutique, specialist builder if you are looking for the “personal” experience. We wish Greg and the team all the best in their future projects.”

“We chose Dylan not only because of his designs that caught our eye but mainly because of how comfortable we felt on our initial brief. He has been great to work with since the start of our project always doing that little bit extra and having time for us whenever we need. So excited with the progrees of our home, can not wait to move in!!!”

“We have been involved in two major residential projects with Eric, from Green Point Design, one a new build and the other a major renovation of a Victorian residence. As indicated by the fact we used Eric's services twice, we were extremely happy with both projects and in all our dealings with him and Green Point Design. He is an excellent communicator, as well as a good listener and unflappable in the face of change or challenges. He is both a creative and practical architect, committed to meeting the requirements of his clients and working alongside them in a partnership over the course of the project and beyond. His commitment to and knowledge of the environmental factors of building and design is immense and we are certainly reaping the rewards of a more sustainable house because of this. He was a pleasure to work with, always responding quickly to queries, unfailingly polite and respectful and a excellent working partner for builders and other professionals involved. I would recommend him highly.”

“In a time of great distress following a destructive bushfire at Wye River it was of enormous comfort to have Guy on my side . He has been supportive personally and professionally producing an excellent design for my replacement home keeping me informed and addressing the frequent difficulties arising from a difficult site and restrictive new regulations”

“Enduring Domain are project managers and designers of our new house, on a sloping country block with specific restrictions imposed by the water authorities. They have faced all challenges with imagination and humour and we are very much enjoying watching the project unfold. Having originally planned to design it ourselves, each time we see the clever design ideas included in this small structure we tell each other "that's why you need an architect". Highly recommended, especially for their concern for environmental sustainability and experience in :"green" building and design.”

“Peter Vernon was brilliant. His imaginative design skills coupled with his pragmatic knowledge of the building process, meant we achieved budget without compromising aesthetics. Our home extension is beautiful and works practically also. It is in scale with the existing building and matches and elevates the existing style. We could never have achieved such a pleasing result without Peter's knowledge and guiding hand, We love living here!”

“I was very happy with Alex from Sulex. He did a great job on our large extention, gave us good solid advice and turned up on time. Alex was polite and more than a year later everything is working well. I would highly recommend Sulex for large and small jobs. Lisa McIver”

“We would highly recommend Mark & his team to anyone who is considering building in the near future. When you employ Little Constructions to build your home, you get individualised support & communication that comes with dealing directly with the builder. Mark spent considerable time with us customising a design into our dream plans. We appreciated Mark's commitment to us & our project, & he took great pride in managing the building of our home. His attention to detail & the quality of his trades throughout the building process was impeccable. His approach to us was always that of expertise & professionalism. Thank you Little Constructions for making our house a home. Brad & Joanne Lowe.”

“Edmund is an absolute professional. His knowledge covers all facets of building and design. He will listen to your idea then advise and plan. His service includes dealing with the local council to obtain permits, full house design and management of the construction process. Very happy to refer my clients to IO architecture”

“I have collaborated with Steven from SJ Bishop Architect on a number of projects now, and I have always found him to be highly professional and easy to work with. His vast knowledge of design principles, building materials and construction techniques, and sustainable architecture allow him to give clients a full range of options through out the design and construction process. I have no hesitation in recommending him to work on any architectural projects in the future. Melissa”
