Architectural Design Services in Brisbane, Queensland

“I thoroughly recommend Evan and his team at Focus Architecture. Evan took the time to listen to our needs and delivered a product which reflected our budgetary and functional requirements. During the course of our project our vision changed a number of times. Evan responded with flexibility and patience and worked closely with us to achieve our outcomes. Evan provides a very personal service and he will take the time to listen to you and provide feedback and problem solving without being patronising. We are already planning for Evan to design our next project which will be our forever home in the Lockyer Valley.”

“After coming to the conclusion that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, we contacted Dion and others to discuss our options. All the other people offered to come to our house to provide a free quote and consultation. Dion was the only one that charged for this service. After initially baulking at the price, we reluctantly decided to proceed with his consultation fee. We were quite nervous in paying this amount because we did not know what value Dion would provide. Even on the day that Dion was to arrive, we still had doubts whether this was the right thing to do - but we decided to have an open mind. Dion not only arrived on time but he actually talked to us and wanted to get a feel for what we did in the different parts of the house. Yes his brief was that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, but within 20 minutes of Dion's consultation, he was challenging us on that notion. His challenging questions and realistic answers shed new light on what we thought we wanted. The easy path that Dion could have taken was to agree with what we wanted. If we went down that path, Dion would have been happy but after living with the outdoor entertainment area, we would not have been. Dion instead really listened to our needs and presented ideas that went to the heart of what we wanted. His ideas were fantastic and the consultation fee was, in our eyes, a small price compared to the value that he provided. If you have any doubts on the value of this fee for service, don't. You will be amazed on what he delivers. By the way, the other people who supplied the free quotes spent as little time as they could with us and did not provide any ideas on the solution that we actually wanted.”

“The Civic Steel Homes team made the whole process of building our dream home on our block of land (with a difficult sandstone substrate) so easy and straightforward. Neither my husband nor I had built a new house before, and we were guided through the necessary steps and assisted in making all the decisions by the friendly, experienced and professional team, including a sales manager, in-house architect, colour consultant, accounts manager and a project manager all working in harmony to ensure our wishes were fulfilled. The results did justice to the magnificent views from our property, as you can see from the photos. Civic Steel Homes followed up after handover to make sure we were perfectly satisfied with every detail.”

“Joe did a wonderful job on our high-end small lot property in Paddington. His design utilized the space to perfection creating a liveable floor plan that suits our climate. I would have no hesitation in using Joe in the future and would highly recommend his services.”

“Our new home is looking great!! Wayne, Raquel and the whole team at Abbott were incredible. If any issues popped up along the way - Wayne was always quickly on to it.”

We used Alexandra's company to design a Solar usb charge point for a local council project driven by an NGO in Tweed Heads. We thought we knew what we wanted but Alexandra exceeded our expectations with the results. Scott Black Diamond Energy www.diamondenergy.com.au”

“My husband & I have renovated before but knew this time we needed a professional's advice. Skyring Architects provided us with detailed sketch plans which nailed the design taking into account our lifestyle needs, the site specifics & our limited budget. This DIY service was exactly what we needed as we already had project management & interiors experience. Stephanie made the whole experience seamless & her service as extremely efficient.”

“We had Rebecca from May Tree Studios discuss our existing and rather boring home with a view to give it more street appeal without spending a fortune and to make some alterations to the interior. We were more than delighted with the concept drawings provided following our discussion. We have now completed the work and the home is transformed to unrecognisable (one visitor drove right past). Recently a regular passer-by commented that our home is now the best in the street - it was easily the least attractive in our street previously. Together with the concept drawings, Rebecca also provided details of colours that are modern and very attractive, yet blend well with existing original features. I did not think that would be possible. We are a building company so we see a lot of home designs. We considered that the proposal from Rebecca was practical and cost effective, as well as being highly professional. We highly recommend her to you.”

“Sam has been a delight to work with. He listened to myself, my 2 sons and my elderly father and came up with 2 fabulous extension designs that met all our needs. He even managed to fit in a couple of "surprises" that I had never even considered possible. I have never done any major work before and was a little intimidated by the process as a single mum with no building knowledge. Sam was available to discuss things at any time and went through next steps in detail. Cherry on the cake was the cost for Sams services which were much less than I expected and the amazingly quick turnaround. Thank you Sam .. I happy to act as a personal reference if needed.

“I had the pleasure of meeting Jarryd late 2018 and he provided a quote to rebuild our BBQ area building which houses the pool filters, shower and kitchen. Unfortunately it needed total rebuilding due to extensive damage by termites. Construction started in February and was completed within a couple of weeks. Jarryd and his team at Tide Constructions were totally professional in all aspects. Always polite and nothing that I asked them to do over and above what was quoted was a problem. I would not hesitate to engage his services for any projects.”
