Floor Plans Services in Collingwood, Victoria

“We had a Master class session with Jane. From the outset and initial contact with Jane we found her to be incredibly responsive and personable. She was easy to talk with and was genuine. The masterclass session went for about 2 hours in which Jane went through our house plan and discussed with us some alternate options to our floor plan to help increase our living space. We wanted to extend out current weatherboard house into the back yard to create a open plan kitchen, dinning and living area, plus create a 4th bedroom and also a en-suite bathroom and stand alone bathroom. Through the session Jane was able to advise us of rough estimate costs to do our renovation and also propose potential savings with alternate floor plans. Jane through this session listened to what we wanted and also discussed how best to utilise the space effectively. Jane was also forthcoming with providing us some recommendations on builders in our area and also provided a high level overview of the renovation process from drafting, building, fitting choices etc. Overall I would recommend Jane and her services even if for a masterclass session. Thank you Jane for taking the time to meet with us and also providing some of your thoughts on our renovation of which we will use and hopefully proceed with our extension in the near future.”

“It's been delightful working with wife and husband team Natalie and Simon Castle for the substantial renovation of our 100+ year old Victorian house. During a rigorous tender process, Architest emerged as a clear winner: excellent communicators, they quickly were able to understand our equal priorities to restore period detail and grandeur, and seamlessly add on liveable space with modern comforts to meet our large family's needs. Importantly, their strong communication skills gave us confidence in doing this project remotely i.e. while living overseas for the majority of the project. We engaged Architest for the design (they provided from memory 10 options); interiors and landscaping; tender process and for the project management of the build. Currently we are halfway through construction with a builder known for fine work quality, who has collaborated with Architest before - and with great results. Our project's completion is scheduled for April 2019, so I'll update this review when we've moved in. Consummate professionals with a meticulous eye for detail, the house designs reflect creative and practical solutions to maximise useable space both functionally and aesthetically. Nat and Simon have been responsive in handling issues like hidden structural problems only revealed during construction, while ensuring the project stays on track. They have been organised and patient, with no request too difficult to meet. One example is that Simon made significant efforts to discuss the plans with our dear neighbours, who: were mostly not at home; are elderly, and who needed a translator. Billings are timely and amounts are as expected. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with the experience to date, and could not recommend Architest more highly.”
