Dalecki Design

We own a meditation and mindfulness space and required help with change of use. Having had no experience in working with the council Janik and his team worked with us from beginning to end. It can be very overwhelming and confusing process, as we did not have plans of our space due to the age of the building. Janik measured and created plans for us from scratch and submitted these to the council. The process was smooth and we were granted our change of use. Would recommend Janik and Dalecki Design.

We approached Janik to design an extension to our 3x1 federation home. From the first interaction we felt sure that he was the right building designer for our project. He was personable, professional and very easy to communicate with, and understood the goals we had for our renovation. We were after a modern extension that honoured the heritage of our home and was not “cookie cutter”. The resulting design exceeded all our expectations, and Janik had such a clear vision of how everything fit together, with a considered reason for everything about the design. Throughout the process, from concept design to final design, council approval and the design documentation for tender and building permit, Janik has continued to be a pleasure to work with, getting back to us about things in the time-frame he said he would, answering all our questions, and patiently dealing with my indecision and need to understand everything. We would use him again in a heartbeat. (Note: project completion date is May 2020 - Houzz didn't give me the option to go past 2019)

Being a bespoke builder in Perth, it is extremely important that we collaborate with professionals in the industry that reflect our values in construction. Janik, and the team at Dalecki Design have been working with us here at Hardy Constructions (www.hardyconstructions.com.au) for the past two years and we all cannot speak high enough of Dalecki Design. From the initial introduction all the way through the design process and even through into the construction of the builds, each of the clients that we have brought to Dalecki Design have been impressed by the level of professionalism, ingenuity and flexibility that is offered throughout. We'll continue to be working with Dalecki Design for years to come.... Nathan & Jared Hardy Hardy Constructions (WA)

Award-winning, incredibly talented, personable and customer focused - Janik delivers architecturally-inspired designs with the flexibility of competitively priced packages. We loved working with Janik and would 100% recommend him to anyone wanting a stylish custom design that really gets to the core of how your family lives. It's difficult to put into words the enormous impact that Janik has had on the renovation and extension to our 1930s Federation-style home. We are so happy we chose our designer first as it allowed us the time and the expertise to really get the design right to suit our family. We approached Janik after speaking with a few project home builders and not feeling confident that any of the builders really understood our brief. We were worried we would get too far down the process of being committed to one particular builder and not get the design of the house right - only to not be happy with the result or have regrets. After all - it's a lot of time and money we were investing! So we changed our approach after seeing Janik's work featured in The West Australian and loving his style. Janik really worked to understand our lifestyle as a family and to give us advice on how he had seen needs evolve as his clients' had met the challenges of different life stages. Janik was very open to our request to design our home for two different life stages. Our children are small and - for now - want to be close to Mum and Dad . But they won't stay little for long and we wanted to truly have a "Forever Home" rather than a "For Now Home". Janik designed a home that works for us now and one that gives up options in the future to provide privacy to both us and our teenagers/young adults. Janik gets back to you very quickly with good humoured and very clear, detailed emails that explain his recommendations in a way that we - as complete amateurs - could understand. He helped us navigate selection decisions and tendering process with builders. We honestly would not have been able to achieve all this without him and his support through every step of the process.

What a pleasure Janik was to deal with. Being an interstate client, communication, speed and quality of work was exceptional. He has designed a house that exceeded my families wildest dreams

Amazing!! We engaged Janik for a renovation we wanted to complete. He designed the alteration and addition, ran the council and approvals process and also tendered out the design to several builders. From the very first contact Janik was amazing. He was personable, genuine and an absolute professional. Janik spent the time to truly understand ours needs and brief. He fulfilled the brief and exceeded our expectations presenting solutions we couldn’t have thought of ourselves. He set timeframes and always met or exceeded these and if something didn’t quite go to plan, he kept us informed every step of the way. He was flexible and quick to assist or make any changes we had, he was always available to help and provide his opinion even after he had completed the tender process and scope of work. Janik is a truly talented designer and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He now feels like part of the family and would be our first point of call if we have another project in the future.

Janik is a superstar in our books. He was the perfect fit for us because when it came to designing a new extension for our 1970s home, it was really important to us to incorporate passive-solar principles. Janik is not only very focused and experienced with that, but he is beautifully creative in the way that he executes the home's design. He worked with an extensive brief for our home and he managed to give us everything we asked for. No change or idea was too difficult for him to deal with and they were all done quickly and extremely efficiently. When our budget had to be tightened halfway through the design process, Janik took it all in his stride and delivered an alternative that is as good as the original, and all in record time. Meeting deadlines and budgets is clearly important to him. Janik is also very fun to work with and we easily regard him as a friend. His multi-award winning designs are a testament to the quality of his work and we hope to add to his list of accolades when our project is complete.

We followed Dalecki Design before making contact and we were impressed with the projects they were involved with. We are currently adding to a 1930s bungalow and could not be happier with the process. Janik is the consummate professional, who inspired us with his design. He takes the time to know his clients and has their best interests at heart. We are thrilled with how it is all coming together.

We wanted to work alongside a talented and creative custom home designer, I came across Dalecki Design and had our first meeting with Janik. From that meeting I instantly clicked with Janik. He had strong construction knowledge and also a true passion for building & design. He showed me some previous designs from other projects and I was instantly impressed. The attention to detail was unlike any I had seen before and the designs were fascinatingly different. Janik then spent the next few months working on a home design for myself after taking my initial brief. When he presented the initial sketch design I was thrilled with what he had created. I made very few changes and insisted that he push through for a council approval quickly as possible. Janik’s help and advice stretched through into construction and he was never to busy to help clarify any queries. I found the plans clear, comprehensible and very detailed. Now living in the home and I can honestly say that engaging Dalecki Design was the best decision that led to an uncomplicated build and an amazing home to live in.

We approached Janik after seeing ‘The Stuart’ on Houzz; we were impressed with how Janik had turned an old fibro into a fresh, modern and stylish home. This transformation inspired us to imagine possibilities with our own tired old weatherboard, where we have lived and raised our family in for the past thirty years. It was time for a makeover and we were short of ideas, and The Stuart galvanised us into action. We felt immediately comfortable with Janik from the first meeting. Janik is a skilled, highly talented and knowledgeable building designer; he is an excellent communicator who is personable, professional and extremely likeable. Janik worked flexibly and collaboratively with us on the design; he listened to and worked with our ideas, elevating them from ordinary to wow. Janik guided us through the renovation journey from design to build; facilitating the various council approvals and permits required, problem-solving any issues, always available to answer our questions; making the whole process stress free, smooth and easy for us. We could not have achieved this without Janik.

We engaged Janik to design a renovation and extension of our tired old 1950s 3x1 and transform it into a more modern and liveable 4x2. Janik took our brief and produced a final design that far exceeded our expectations of what was possible within the limited space available. The design and approval process was well explained from the start and engineering, energy assessment, council approvals and builder quotes were all sorted quickly and easily.

Oh My God, Oh My God, Oh My God!!! I cannot thank Janik enough for the amazing design he created for my Dance Studio. It has gone from a Shell to 9 amazing rooms with a large Dance space, enough room for my costumes and props. From our first Design conversation to the building stage was effortless and everything was well organised and smooth. Janik even had to put a Change of Use Application into the Council. You Rock Janik!!
