Our experience with this company and the architects who worked on our project, left us wondering what benefit there is to work with an architect to assist in meeting a budget. While the initial builders estimate we were provided with was promising and on track with the budget provided, by the time we had invested emotionally and financially in over a year and a half of planning, when the project went out to tender on the first occasion, the initial prices were almost 100 per cent over the estimate provided. What was unsettling about this was our knowledge that Stubbs Design Tribe were in partnership with the builder Design Tribe Projects at the time, yet the project wasn't kept to the budget provided. We had decided to go with Stubbs Design Projects to undertake the renovation until the final price for the project increased by around $250000 in the space of a month. This broke us, and we decided not to continue. The expensive lesson we have learnt from this process is that we should have lived in the house beforehand. Had we done this we would have been better positioned to avoid the over design and unnecessary construction proposed that resulted from Stubbs Design Tribe as they were known as when we first went to the company.

Comment from Design Tribe Projects:
Hello Rohan, thanks for your frank review. We appreciate that the budgetary issues faced on your project last year were incredibly frustrating and we are sorry to read that our service was not up to your expectations.

Love working with Stubbs Design Tribe. Have used them on multiple projects that have been quite different (commercial and residential). Evan is an amazing architect at every stage of the project from concept through to detailed documentation/council and contract documentation. He is always happy to try and accomodate queries or requests and has a wealth of technical information. It’s always a pleasure to deal with him and the team at Stubbs.

From my interactions with Matt and the Stubbs Design Tribe, I can unreservedly recommend them. Their creative, thoughtful and consultative approach have delighted their customers. Matts ideas really gel with mine and I love the results of so many of their projects however the Paddington project is a favourite.
I even pro-actively ask my clients if they are intending to renovate or build so I can recommend SDT as I want my clients to experience the best!

I am Currently using Stubbs Design Tribe to plan the rebuild of my family home in Lilyfield. I have been fighting with Leichhardt Council for the last 2 years over the house rebuild and addition of a rear lane garage and studio. It was so frustrating that I switched to Stubbs Design Tribe based on all the good things I had heard about this team of dedicated passionate architects. OMG they did not let me down. They spoke on my behalf at a planning and development meeting with passion and pride I have rarely seen. It got approved with minor changes, totally due to the expertise and passion of SDT. My family is so happy we made the decision to switch to SDT. Matt and his team are professional, detailed and innovative. Communication is exceptional. In respect to design they just nailed the brief. I am a raving fan, I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you Matt

Stubbs design Tribe delivered a level of service - for our significant residential renovation project - underscored by a level of professionalism, commercial nouse, holistic skills - ranging from design briefs, shopping excursions, third party liaison and communications, and a meticulous eye for project detail - all wrapped in an exceptionally welcoming and friendly client interface.
Importantly, the design skills at Stubbs are cutting edge, project specific and deliver that WOW factor, not a vanilla formula.
Moreover, Stubbs has the skill set to take this vision and deliver the "product", competently traversing through the trial and tribulations that one navigates in the course of any residential building project.
The team at stubbs is inclusive and create a "family" reporte for clients and their families making the journey worthwhile and enjoyable.

I Have worked with Mat on several projects spanning over 10 years.
After working with several architects in my time, I have found the team at Stubbs design tribe to be easily contactable, easy going in regards to suggestions while also being conscious and proffensional towards the clients needs.
Any project that requires an architect or project managing Stubbs design tribe gets my recommendation.

Our brief centered on two things:-
1. Beach Design, and
2. Environmental Sustainability.
The design and build (which was project managed by Matt and Fred) met the brief perfectly. We have a brilliant low maintenance beach house, which to date we have not had to use cooling in summer and only minimal heating on the coldest days in winter.
The design has the effect of bringing the external environment in. You know you are near the the beach.
Stubbs Design Tribe were proactive and drove the builder to have the project completed on time and within budget.
It is a home that we love to be in, and the home that we want to retire to!

After years of working with Stubbs Design Tribe, I have to say this is the best experience in my whole career. No words can describe the extreme satisfaction and the massive grin left on the clients faces at the end of the every project. I feel very proud for taking the opportunity to work with Matt and Fredric, and their highly talented and professional team. Their extrodinary design ideas, quality services, and being up to date with new trends make them the leader of architectural industry. Final words, with Stubbs Design Tribe you can`t go wrong.

Stubbs Design Tribe has been commissioned to design an extension for our semi-detached dwelling. Matt and Fred have been fantastic - they really listen to what we want and come to us with designs that meet our needs and at the same time offer creative solutions - both from a design and practical sensibility. They are experienced professionals that have that personal touch and we are excited to continue to work with them to see our dream become a reality in their capable hands!
