Sustainable Design Services in Brisbane, Queensland

“I engaged Dave and his team to carryout Renovation Design DA and Working Drawings. At all time the Urban team were professional, prompt, accommodating and flexible with extensive building code knowledge. A well connected highly recommended professional team of designers who go out of there way to offer a service beyond drawings and design.”

“I engaged Kirsty to give her advice on how to best prepare a house which I was listing to maximise it's buyer appeal on a limited budget. The fee for a one hour consultation paid for itself many, many times over in the amount added to the value of the home through following her suggestions. Unlike other stylists I have dealt with previously, Kirsty was not simply upselling hire of furniture/props through her - but she was mindful of the budget of the clients and gave outstanding advice as to how the house could best be presented by working with what already existed within the house. Kirsty was punctual, professional, her advice was spot on, and she was a pleasure to deal with at all times, and I genuinely cannot think of anything that would provide a better return on the investment for sellers or would-be sellers than to engage her.”

“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.”

“Working with Jumble and Stack was a breeze! We hired Kim to work on our home renovation a couple of months ago. We had no idea how to go about it but she made the process so easy and was very good at reading our minds when we couldn't find the right words to explain what we wanted! We are very happy with our new kitchen and bathroom and my wife is in love with her new walk in robe. We will be calling Kim again soon to help us with the rest of the house.”

“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.”

“Peter Latemore and Annelise Spurgeon were an outstanding team to work with to create a home for our young family of 5. Ticking all the boxes, Annelise and Peter took our grand old lady and renovated her to perfection. There was much to achieve on a tight budget. No longer able to put up with the tight working spaces in the kitchen and laundry, lack of storage and children with little room to spread out and play, we were frustrated by an ageing layout that did not suit contemporary living. Our brief was to find space and flow, for our growing family, keeping the beauty and street appeal of the old girl and introduce her to a modern style of living. We also wanted to take advantage of the elevation and breezes, keeping our economic, natural air conditioning system (there's not an air-con in sight and the only fan is one required under the Code on the patio) and imitating the benefits of double cavity brick throughout the new extension. We wanted a design that would grow with us, thinking ahead to a future second floor when the kids got a bit older. We also had to deal with a steep sloping block, ineffective terracing and poor existing hydraulics. The end result is a magnificent, comfortable home where everyone and everything has a place to come together and a place to hide away from it all. It's a striking mix of old and new that we love to spend every minute in and to host our family and friends as often as possible. And all this well on time and under budget with close communication between all parties and an eye for all the detail. Annelise and Peter work so well together, its clear they hold a high professional respect for each other, each bringing their own wealth of knowledge and experience to the drawing board. They were incredibly easy to work with during the design phase, providing valuable insight whilst giving us plenty of input into the process and listening keenly to all our concerns and ideas. It was also comforting to have them both step through the build right by our side. They have truly given us the home of our dreams and have already recommended them to others to help them build theirs.”

“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.”
