Custom Home Services in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

“Dealing wit Studio56 was an absolute breeze. I must admit that I was the customer from hell who was always changing things. However Cristian and his team was extremely patient with me. They are always available to see me to discuss things about my plan and always did it with a smile. It took me a long time to finalise my plan and Cirstian never rushed me. He allowed me time to think about things and suggested great things to improve the house. I would definitely use Studio 56 again and will 100% recommend them to people.”

“Steve Laggner was highly professional and very communicative throughout the process of doing some minor renovations to our home. Finished work was of a high quality and was completed on time and on budget. Highly recommended!!”

“Hugh has been excellent in helping us out with our container home design. Responsive to our requests, very supportive of eco-friendly ideas. He knows the region well, particularly where our build project is, and has taken the plans to the council for approval. For the work undertaken we think he is is very good value for money.”

“Michael is really passionate about designing homes. This came through in the Passive Haus design that we are so happy with . He has also helped source materials for the build and even found me a builder. All at no extra charge. In a nutshell he is very passionate and this passion really come through in his design work. Highly recommended.”

“I found the Champness team responsive, flexible and professional throughout the our renovation. They were great at keeping us informed about progress as well as foreshadowing potential hiccups in some of our trickier requirements, like installing a range hood right in the middle of a thick concrete lintel that blocked an old chimney. Each contractor was pleasant to have in our home and great at tidying up after themselves and happy to field questions from us. I really appreciated the filly itemised quote and billing, as well as the clear work schedule. I would happily use them again.”

“We worked with Adam Hobill on the design of a significant extension to our home, which included the addition of a second level and the modernisation of the street-facing facade. Adam was a pleasure to work with and provided us with a design that met our needs while adding interest to the home. He pushed us towards new ideas in a few areas, which we benefitted from. He also helped us select a builder and then worked with them in a collaborative manner throughout the build, helping keep the right balance between cost and outcome. Overall we are extremely happy with the end result. As an added benefit the extension won the ACT HIA Award for renovations $200-350k and also the overall Renovation/Addition of the Year award in 2012! We highly recommend Adam Hobill Design. Pictures of the end result are detailed on the builder's website at: http://griffinconstructions.com.au/portfolio/red-hill-carnegie-crescent/”

“The team (Bob, Brendan and Lisa) at BLD Homes was extremely professional and accommodating from the start of my build all the way until handover. As this was our first building experience, we weren’t sure what to expect. We have had friends and family with some horror stories with builders in the past, but we knew from the beginning that we were in good hands. Our home was completed well within the time frame and the quality was top class! Any minor issues were quickly resolved to ensure that our move was timely and smooth. They were with us along the way and. We appreciated the constant updates from the team throughout the build and were very impressed with their knowledge/expertise in relation to the design of ou home. This was a large and challenging project but they made it very easy and very satisfying experience for us. The team at BLD was very transparent and honest and provided full details of the cost upfront, I wouldn't choose anyone else for my next home.”

“Ian and the team were polite, patient, professional and easy to deal with from our first meeting. The custom built cocktail and music unit reflects a very high degree of skill from the design process, carpentry and installation. Our new wood box is excellent and has transformed an out dated planter box into a functional yet elegant design feature. The white bookshelves maximise the space available and we are very happy with the result. Ian was always prepared to listen to our feedback and address any issues and we highly recommend Valkyrie Interiors.”

“As the owner of Chapman Built Luke was very much on deck and in-tune every step of the way for our major renovation which included a small extension. His attention to detail is extraordinary and we are very happy with the finish. Nothing was too much trouble and our ideas and concerns were always listened to. Luke proposed some cost saving and design changes from the architects drawings which was much appreciated. Carpenters Adam and Dave were outstanding, very respectful and fun. They were excellent problem solvers and totally reliable. Ours was a 5 month build which finished on time. Even now our home is finished Luke has assisted us with a few minor issues. Our satisfaction with the work is obviously important to him. This was the first time we had done anything like this and we would recommend Luke and his team to anyone else contemplating either building a new home or doing a renovation.”

“Highly recommend this firm - fast, intuitive, creative and good communication! We've worked with the team at Black Line Building Design on a few projects now, most recently a custom design on a tricky block. We are very happy with the result, especially how it fits the block perfectly and also allows beautiful winter sun into the living spaces. We have been so happy with their work, we have just engaged them again to create our dream home which will be a knock down rebuild in an inner Canberra suburb.”
