“Jeremy and his team provide great service & flair for alterations, additions & new home design. We have been working with Jeremy on major projects around the Northern Beaches and we have always found his plans accurate & well suited to our clients needs.”

“There are many reasons why we are glad we chose CplusC over other architects. Firstly, their natural and balanced aesthetic strongly appeals to us and we are genuinely pleased and impressed with the quality of the construction of our home. Secondly, and as importantly, CplusC are both designers and builders. This has the advantage of avoiding disagreements between architects and builders, which meant a less difficult building process and minimises the unexpected costs that inevitably arise. Thirdly, CplusC are environmentally clever designers and builders: they design to minimise wasted construction materials; and their design and the materials they used means our ongoing expenses are reduced (we only need to turn the heater on for three or so weeks in the year, and don't use air conditioning, instead enjoying cross-breezes). CplusC have built us a beautiful home that our children will grow up in and we are happy to recommend them.”

“I hired Nathalie at NS Studio to complete our renovation project and project manage our build. She was so hands on and always there to help me with advice and any queries. I would highly recommend her, she is very well connected and had some great ideas. Nathaie's interior design skills were an added bonus when furnishing the inside of the house aswell.”

“As a builder that has constructed several projects for ZSA, I can highly recommend their architectural services. Their designs and working drawings are always thoroughly though out making the building process efficient and effective. ZSA have a firm understanding of the cost of building which sets them apart from the rest. They have excellent spacial awareness and knowledge of construction which is critical to a good design. Every client that I have shared with ZSA (more than 10) would highly recommend their services.”

“Baddock building recently built our house extension adding to our living area, new bedroom, laundry, garage, decks and roof structure. We also re-cladded our entire house and put in new windows throughout. Mark and the team were fantastic to work with, thoughtful and accommodating while we still lived through the renovation and on-budget. Most importantly their workmanship was excellent with a high attention to detail. I would highly recommend Baddock building and would definitely use them again for our next renovation.”

“Gillian is a very approachable designer who really takes the time to learn what your style likes and dislikes are. She provides names and contacts of reliable tradies and firms, and is involved in the process all the way. It was Gillian who introduced me to the fabulous Houzz site, and together we built up a style file for the lounge area and the bathroom and powder room. She was able to liaise with the plumber so that we could understand what he meant with all the technical specs, and went around with him to make sure we were getting what we wanted when he came to measure and quote. Although we have not yet started the bathroom renovation, we have updated our kitchen dining area and it looks fantastic. I thoroughly recommend her services.”

“I worked with Christian Grennan of Kreis Grennan when redeveloping two Torrens title dwellings in Glebe. It was a tight site with a dilapidated cottage and the neighbor’s didn’t want any more dwellings in the area. Kreis Grennan organized a meeting with the neighbors at a local pub prior to council submission and presented the concept design. It was a very positive experience, where everyone could ask questions and get honest answers. Not always answers they wanted to hear but answers that were considered. The meeting made the whole process run smoothly including the development application and subdivision. Construction drawings were produced with enormous attention to detail so my team knew what was required. The end result is fantastic. I would be happy to recommend Kreis Grennan to anyone looking for a quality architect”

“I have used Catherine twice now. Three years ago for a full renovation of a cottage, and this year to renovate the laundry and kitchen in an Art Deco apartment. Catherine is easy to work with, has great ideas and I have found her recommendations for trades people very reliable. She is pragmatic, and has brought both projects in on time and on budget.”

“Adam and Ben from As You See IT were recommended to us and we were certainly glad we didn't look any further. We were totally renovating our Manly unit, one that we only planned to move into on a short term basis. As we didn't require specific interior design such as furniture, paintings etc, for this job, we required Adam and Ben to completely redesign the kitchen and bathroom, advise on window coverings, choose paint colours and install flooring. We gave them free range to provide all the above. We particularly love the bathroom - besides looking fabulous, it is functional and easy to clean (most important!). Adam and Ben project-managed our job and this was certainly money well spent. They both put in many hours which would have been well over their estimate, all in good humour. We would certainly recommend As You See It and hope to use their ideas in the future, Jo & Barry.”

“Kitty was a pleasure to work and I would definitely recommend her to others.. She was very professional, prompt with feedback and very knowledgeable about all the project processes so the design and approval felt very stress free. She really listened to our brief/requirements and worked hard to deliver a design that worked for our budget. We are really happy with our final project.”
