Architectural Drawings Services in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

“Jigsaw is the reason we have such a liveable home. Having lived in many houses, we had clear ideas of what we wanted - to build an energy efficient, light-filled home that would work with us as a family. We wanted clever use of space and storage, responsible use of materials and a beautiful nurturing environment to live in. Jigsaw had the expertise to maintain a creative approach while problem-solving the many limitations of a modern build on a Heritage listed block. The combined skills of the team provided us with a very positive building experience. We continue to recommended Jigsaw, and the novelty of our new home is likely to never wear off! We are very content and proud of our home that adapts to our needs and enables us to live a comfortable family life.”

“We found the whole process with Build Professional to be very straightforward and not too much stress for us. Everything went smoothly and our extension was completed on time. The project manager was fantastic at getting things done and kept on top of the other trades people and the schedule. The project was very well planned and went pretty much as scheduled. Importantly, the budget stayed within the original budget. The finished product met our expectations. It is great how alike the finished product and the initial conceptual drawings are. The extension blends in seamlessly with the existing home. The communication is one of the most important aspects of dealing with Build Professional as they were completely open to any feedback or questions that we had. Basically, we were able to let them get on with the extension and we would engage with the project manager regularly just to see how things were progressing. To be honest, there was nothing that we were unhappy with.”

“I engaged Hugh to design my house at Throsby. It was absolute pleasure to work with him. The project took around 8 moths to complete due to many many changes i asked for, but he never disappoint me or make me feel uncomfortable to ask for those changes. He always listen and try to understand client's requirements and ideas carefully. He implemented so many innovative ideas in the project and produced an outstanding design for us. I am really thankful for all his effort, creativity, honesty, consideration and quick turn around for every changes i requested. It was wonderful and enjoyable to work with Hugh and learned a lot about house design. In short, he is well respected and highly recommended architect to work with and has converted our dream home into a architectural design. Thank you Hugh.”

“We were lucky enough to work with Mark Bruce from Collins Caddaye on a new build in Yarralumla, Canberra. They were a joy to work with from start to finish. They were clear in what they wanted, provided clear communication and updates, made well informed and clear decisions which made working with them very enjoyable. On top of that, the house that they designed was amazingly beautiful and we have only heard good things about their company. Chadwick Designs looks forward to working along side Collins Caddaye again soon for all window furnishings and external products.”

“When I first met Brady from Black Line Building Design on site, he was punctual, professional. He listened to our concept and added a few other relevant ideas to make it even better. He was upfront and reasonable with his pricing. Highly efficient with his draft and final drawings. He even worked with the builders to make sure they can deliver what we envisioned. We love our end product! Highly recommended!!!”

“Dean stuck the right mix between listening to what you want, advising potential problems and practical suggestions to make things work. Very happy with the service”

“Ouroboros provided architectural design services for a kitchen renovation I am doing at my home. The service was completed in a very professional manner, responses were provided promptly, and adjustments were made seamlessly. Would definitely recommend and use again myself.”

“We have used the architectural services of Townsend & Associates (Dealing mainly with Catherine Townsend) to help us design our home in Canberra and then to design and deliver a second property on the South Coast. Catherine acted as our Superintendent on our second property - a decision taken by us that made the whole process much more relaxing than it would have otherwise been - This is highly recommended. We have worked with TAA for many years and have always found Catherine Townsend attentive to our requirements and easy to deal with. Catherine has the ability to guide clients and builders alike using a calm and considered approach. She has been a pleasure to deal with as have all the staff at TAA. I would be more than pleased to engage TAA on our next housing project and in so doing would have no problems in recommending TAA to any of their future clients.”

“Sean was very easy to work with. His design maximised the space available in our tenancy, taking advantage of the natural light to make it feel spacious. He had an excellent manner when dealing with contractors which helped us achieve our tight time-frame and stay within budget.”

“After shopping around for a suitable architect we settled on Philip Leeson Architects. Over several months we have been working with an architect (Sarah Truscott) from this company and couldn't be happier with how the process has gone so far (the house plans are currently being costed). Philip and Sarah have taken the time to really listen and understand our requirements (they even visited our current home to see how we live and what does and doesn't work for us in this house). Our brief was for a single level, solar passive (low-cost to run) family home for 5 that can also accommodate one of our three sons (who has special needs) as he grows into an adult - down the track we want the ability to section off part of the house for our son and a carer. Also, due to the care requirements for our son we are not a family that is able to go on vacations or travel, so in that respect our home is even more important than it would be for other families, as we can't take a break from it. Our home needs to cater to each family member's interests - for my husband that is a BIG garage (Philip and Sarah only really understood this when they saw all that our current garage contains!), for me it is a study/craft room and for my eldest child it is a separate space for LEGO. During the planning stage the value of engaging an architect has become very obvious - the puzzle of how to design a house to meet a variety of needs is not one that we could ever have come up with ourselves.”
