Ukalovic Design

We used the services of Jay Ukalovic and his contacts for a renovation and extension to our home at North Avoca. Right from the start Jay was on time, attentive and proactive in helping us find a design that would work for us at a price range we could afford. His suggestions were always welcome and he guided us through the project and introduced us to excellent builders and other service providers. Jay was efficient, creative and patient, most especially considering we built through Covid times and all frustrations and delays that came with it. We are extremely pleased with the final result of our project and thank Jay and the team for the excellent work undertaken on our home. We have no hesitation in recommending Jay's service.

Our house planning has taken a very long time and quite a few iterations. Jay is amazing. He is quick. Listens well. Is happy to provide ideas whilst respecting that it’s your home and about bringing your ideas to reality. Despite working through this for the length of time we did Jay was always professional, friendly and reasonable. His guidance through the planning and authorities pathway and understanding of what is needed was appreciated and his knowledge very evident as there were no changes when assessed. Thoroughly recommend Jay and his work.

It was a pleasure working with Jay on our recent renovations and we could not be happier with the outcome. He worked with us to maintain the integrity of our home and achieve the outcome we had envisaged. His documentation was extremely clear and gave us a great understanding of how the design would work with our home. Jay was always professional and communicative and made the entire process a positive experience for us. Justine and Vaughan

We couldn't recommend Ukalovic Design highly enough. The overwhelming process was made easy being guided by Jay. Each step was explained, his professional advice and knowledge of the whole process was invaluable. He was there from start to finish, listened to our ideas and incorporated them into designing our home. Seeing our vision come to life through his 3D drawings was a great part of the process. Smooth communication throughout the project made it streamline and the plans were outstanding. Definitely recommend Ukalovic Design.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jay on the plans for the extension on our property. He made the whole process seamless and stress free, nothing was ever too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in recommending the team at Ukalovic Design.

We have recently completed a major renovation involving the reconfiguration of an existing living room and house extension. Jay was instrumental in helping us arrive at a design that maximises the house orientation and space. Jay is a delight to work with. He has a positive attitude, has a high attention and detail and had a solution for each new issue that emerged as the design evolved. The open plan living area is light drenched with an array of carefully placed skylights, the indoor and outdoor areas blur into one another and kitchen and laundry spaces are a pleasure to work in. We could not be happier with our new renovation and thank Jay for his patience, persistence and guidance in getting the project across the line.

I was fortunate to meet Jay when a friend recommended him – what a godsend! I engaged him to work on a major kitchen renovation and was so glad that I did. I found him to be very knowledgeable about all of the technical and planning elements and also creative and imaginative when it came to the design aspect. Jay combines this with a strong work ethic and drive, a genuine desire to get the best outcome for his client and a really professional, high standard of output. He demonstrated considerable patience as we honed our ideas and communicated proactively with us throughout the process. If I find myself doing further renovating / building work, I wouldn’t consider using anyone else.

Jay was awesome to deal with from beginning to end. He completely understood our requirements and transferred that into reality. Very happy customers

We are very happy with the services provided by Jay. We found Jay to be thorough, professional, prompt and genuine and couldn’t fault the service we received. Thank you

Jay provides an excellent design service. From concept to final design we were impressed with Jay's ability to understand what we were trying to achieve with our new home. Jay was able to take our all ideas and amalgamate them into a design that suited our needs, style, and budget. We would definitely use Jay's services again and have recommended him to many of our friends.

We feel very fortunate to have found Jay Ukalovic for our project. From the first meeting, we felt comfortable and assured. Jay listened to our needs and had great ideas. He was always prompt and helpful in his communications. Not only did Jay create a beautiful design for our home, he also kindly and patiently guided us through the process. Utilising his network of associates (surveyors, consultants, engineers, certifiers, builders, etc) made everything much less stressful for us, and he was always there to help follow up on things or explain the next steps. We felt that Jay had our best interests at heart, and went above and beyond what we expected from a draftsman. Jay is one of nicest people you could work with, his fees are reasonable and his level of service is exceptional - we would highly recommend him for any job.

We couldn’t be happier with what Jay from Ukalovic Design has designed for our new home on the shores of Lake Macquarie. From our initial meeting his unique talent for interpreting our vision and making it happen was clearly evident. His passion for designing beautiful, affordable and achievable homes is portrayed in his superior client service, excellent communication and exceptional problem solving skills. The daunting journey of obtaining all the necessary approvals was efficiently completed by Jay and we believe his excellent reputation in the housing industry allowed our development to proceed without delay through the often difficult hurdles. We have no hesitation in recommending Ukalovic Design.
