Home Renovating Services in Collingwood, Victoria

“I have worked with Winter Architecture for over 2 years now - I photograph most of their beautiful projects - they are always light, bright and have incredible attention to detail. All their clients that I meet are super lovely and incredibly happy with their results.”

“We have always planned to renovate our existing house but had been unsure as how to overcome some flow and function issues. We wanted to add a bedroom/study, an alfresco entertaining space and a garage/carport onto our existing house. We had seen lots of renovations of similar houses but they always seemed to have something missing or were not quite right! The My Architect team were recommended after a chance conversation at a child's party - the initial meeting and concept plans really appealed to us, the idea of a relatively small outlay to see what the options and initial costings were. We contacted Cate at My Architect who set us up an appointment with Lyndal Williams. We had quite set ideas about what would be possible. Lyndal patiently worked through our needs/wants and has put together the perfect floorplan for us. It is quite different to what we had imagined and we have managed to tick off all the priorities as well as adding some wonderful extras that we feel will make our home function more efficiently as well as being a great entertaining space! We had initially planned to only use the My Architect team for the concept plans. However after dealing with Lyndal we felt that we simply had to continue to utilise her skills to help us complete the project. The set pricing for the My Architect services made us confident that we were clear about this cost from the beginning. So far we have completed plans for tendering and are waiting for building to commence in September. Cate has followed up and sought feedback along the way and despite our project taking quite some time we have never felt rushed! Lyndal has done a great job with our plans and really understood what we wanted before we did in some ways. She has also dealt with our questions and queries patiently!!!! We can highly recommend that anyone considering renovating or building use the My Architect team!”

“Anderson Homes were a pleasure to deal with in many ways. Right from the beginning we felt comfortable that Laurie Anderson and his team understood our brief. They nurtured our ideas and between us we collaborated to build our dream home. Their professionalism and communication skills were outstanding and to have the project completed right on schedule was an added thrill. Not to mention the quality of the build or the speed in which it was built. It was lovely working with Laurie's tradesmen who were always polite, well mannered and respectful, I would highly recommend Anderson Homes and can confidently say we would choose them again.”

“Creative, attentive, efficient, hard working, totally professional and focused on great creative outcomes, these young architects have been a delight to work with. From creative schemes to detailed plans to working with councils, statutory authorities, builders and tradesmen, they couple a youthful innovative approach with a practical hands on attention to building, construction, planning , timelines and budgets which gets the job done. They are conscious of budget and value and have over- delivered at every step of the client architect relationship and Project. Young minds and old heads. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. And I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone.”

“Yarrabank builders were engaged to complete an extensive renovation to our 1920’s double brick house in Northcote which involved the whole front half of the house and adding a second storey to that part of the house. The project was overseen by our architect. It was a 7 month build and we met with Ryan and Scott on a fortnightly basis. We could not be happier with the result and the process. Our dealings with Ryan and Scott were more than professional: they cared about our project and went beyond expectations. The project was finished exactly on time to the day and the quality of the work was excellent: we have been through two previous house renovations and the quality of work that Yarrabank produced is proving to be superior in every way. After almost two years living in the house we are constantly pleased with the work completed by Yarrabank. We would heartily recommend Yarrabank to anyone thinking about a major house renovation or build.”

“It was a pleasure working with Gaurav and his team to create an articulate and thoughtful vision that far exceeded our expectations. They were very accommodating in experimenting with the design we were after. Their efficient response to every email and calls has made it very easy to accomplish our vision. Over the course of my career, I have had the pleasure of working with many creative and thoughtful architects. R Architects has definitely distinguished themselves through their mix of creativity, logic, and very good customer service.”

“Justin and the boys did a fantastic job on our bathroom. It was a tricky job with some complex plumbing, and it turned out better than I’d hoped! We especially love the skylight and the extra-long wall niche. Thank you”

“I was given the confidence and trust by Sky hence hired him to design my new house just by the marina. My journey with Sky started more than 3 years ago. Every step of the way, Sky had given me the clarity and best effort on all building and design aspect. I have to admit that I am not an easy client for I bomb Sky with numerous calls during weekends, public holidays and after hours. Yes Sky was ever willing to listen and help me with my queries. To be honest, I was hunting for an architect and had waisted some small fortune with two prior so called architect. I am glad I found Sky as his experiences, dedication and attention to detail is un-matched! Sky had helped me through from my house design to acquring planning permit, which was unbelievably difficult, and even administered my whole building project. There were massive amount of challenges due to unforeseen circumstances but Sky was able to assist in resolving them amicably in terms of timeline and cost.”

“I am currently working with Matthew Duignan at Mesh Design and find them to be highly professional and very attentive to detail. His team is always there to help and be of assistance with all the details. I highly recommend Matthew and his team at Mesh design.”

“We highly recommend Alistair from Secret Design Studio for any mid-century modern project. Alistair's knowledge and enthusiasm for MCM design is apparent in the amazing on-line resources that he provides and he has the skill to create great MCM spaces that are compatible with contemporary lifestyles.”
