Building Designers in Hackham, South Australia

“Kevin was fantastic from our first meeting and he made the entire process of renovating much smoother for us. We transformed our house into a 4 bd, play room, and 3 bathroom house. Kevin took my wife and I through the design process and it was amazing. He began by spending 2 hrs the first time we met, sitting at our dining table, after kids were in bed. During this time he was getting to understand us and to get a feel for our lifestyle to work out what was important to us. Once we had the brief done then he came back for another 2hr session, again after the kids were in bed, and he presented us with options. To be honest we fell in love with the sketches and it felt like he had been reading our minds. It was unbelievable. Kevin then helped us with the tender process and I still recall the reactions from the builders with respects to the degree of detail in the drawings. This allows the builders to provide more accurate estimates and it would lead to fewer disputes during the build process. This saved me on a number of occasions. Thank you Kevin and Jeff for making our dream home become a reality.”

“We were very happy with the design that Michael provided. He has a particularly good knowledge of how to use existing space and we were thrilled with his ideas of how to incorporate several existing rooms into the new design. The sketches and documentation that Michael provided were very detailed and of high quality. His attention to detail was noticed by a number of builders who used the drawings to create their quotes. Michael made the early stages of our renovation process easy, by explaining each step clearly and in terms that were easy for us to understand. The costs for each stage were explained thoroughly, so that we knew which fees needed to be paid and when. He answered our endless questions with patience as well as a high level of expertise, which made us realise we had made an excellent choice. The job ended up being successful for us, because Michael listened to our responses and suggested minor changes along the way. This resulted in a refined set of drawings and we were able to choose a builder to suit our needs and within our budget. Michael’s prices are reasonable, and not as high as several designers that we considered. He put in a lot of effort to make sure we were happy with everything, and continued to check on progress as we moved forward with our selections through the builder. We would recommend Michael to anyone who needs expert design work from start to finish.”

“Rogier has designed a home extension for me that is innovative and practical. His focus on natural light and warmth is particularly appealing. Rogier listens carefully to his client's brief and has enormous patience with evolving suggestions and changes. Rogier is very professional and approachable.”

“We had the pleasure of working one of DESIGNTECH studios designs and bring it to life in VR. The design was a gorgeous 3 story home that really had the WOW factor. I recommend DESIGNTECH to anyone contemplating designing a new home.”

“We were initially building with another builder who went bankrupt. By chance I was on the radio telling my story and Tim was listening and made contact through the radio station's Facebook page. We met with Tim and his offer seemed too good to be true. As a first home owner and builder we were quite skeptical about things being over-promised and under-delivered, but we took a chance and went with Nuovo Homes. There were quite a few reasons why we took that chance. Firstly, some of Nuovo's previous clients were happy to speak to us on the phone and give a referral. One even invited us into his house to show us around - you don't get that type of referral from other builders. Next was Tim's motto. He was happy to have a smaller piece of the pie rather no pie at all. That meant that Tim's margin was probably smaller than what it could have been to match, and in the end, better, the contract we had with the other builder. Tim also very generously deducted the amount we lost to the other builder - something we are very, very grateful for. Next reason was the quality of product and finishes that Nuovo Homes offers as standard. From the bricks through to the floor tiles, even niches in the showers. Many things with Nuovo Homes were standard which we would have had to pay extra for with other builders as upgrades. We also liked the idea of dealing with just one person from start to finish. We had confidence that what Tim sold us was what would be delivered on during the build. Sure, there are some great salesmen working for other builders, but at the end of the day, they're not the ones in charge of building the house. After the sale you'd never hear from them again. Tim is there from the start right through to the end, and was always just a phone call, text message or email away with any questions we had. As with every large project and build, there were a few things that didn't quite go to plan during the build, but Tim handled them quickly and resolved them as best he could. Although not perfect the overall process and product would be as close to perfect as you could expect. After handover Tim has personally come out to fix up some minor things that needed to be done. Many people have told me that after you hand over the final payment you probably won't hear from the builder again and not to expect them to fix things during the maintenance period. Tim, however gets on the tools and gets it done. People generally also say that building a new house is a nightmare wouldn't do it again. My experience was the opposite and I would happily build again and would build with Nuovo Homes again without doubt. Fate / chance brought us to Nuovo Homes the first time, should there be a next time it will be a conscious decision to go back to Nuovo Homes. Thanks again, Tim”

“Excellent translation of my concept/vision to paper. Thorough, dedicated and reliable. Also has a great understanding of layout and functionality. I would highly recommend.”

“This is an amazing service. Our building designer provided us with a floor plan, elevations and site plan. Using our plan Doug prepared 3D elevations of the house, including an internal walk through video and exterior fly around of the house, as well as 360 degree views of each room. It was just amazing and really helped us visualise how the house would look once it was built. He even included a video on how much winter sun we would receive in the kitchen / family room. The detail and scale was incredible. Nothing was too much trouble for Doug. We asked him to provide us with fly arounds of two different facades including views to the street which cemented our decision on which façade would be the best option. This is an invaluable service, especially for people with limited visualisation skills. We would highly recommend 3D Home Concepts to our friends and colleagues. Thanks Doug.”

“Nathan is a highly skilled creative designer / Architect and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He was always helpful at every point of our design / planning process. Offering options of various facades, floor plans was a massive plus in our decision making procedure. I would highly recommend Hendre for your next home extension, new build or add on, you wont be disappointed. Thanks so much Nathan!”
