“It was an utmost pleasure to work with Will Collins and Mariana Claro from Gold Coast Building Designers on the design of our Currumbin Valley home. Now, 18 months after construction was completed, we can only say we are delighted. The result is a fantastic house that now happily hosts three generations of our family. Not only does it cover all our needs but is also a beautiful design that will stand the test of time. On meeting Will and Mariana we were immediately impressed by the way they combine a professional approach with their warm and infectious manner. They embraced the challenging block and ensured that the right aspect plus all of our design wishes were met. They managed to capture our quest for sustainability and design without compromising on either. Mariana and Will approached this project with a unique combination of passion and practicality to ensure that our dream came true. We would like to take this opportunity to enthusiastically recommend Will Collins and Mariana Claro. Isabelle and Nicholas”

“I have known Richard Parsons for several years and he has been involved in two of our new builds over that time. Richard is one of the most honourable people you will meet in the building industry, or in any industry for that matter. When we first used Richard we really noticed and appreciated all the extra time he took, before the project started, to ensure that the build would be delivered on time and within our budget. This really set him apart from so many of the other builders we have encountered. His attention to detail is great and because of his experience, he was always able to offer us alternative suggestions on product and finish. His worksite was well maintained and tidy and his trades were always accommodating. I would be happy to recommend Richard for any type of building project, particularly high end bespoke home where attention to detail and planning is so important to great outcomes.”

“After coming to the conclusion that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, we contacted Dion and others to discuss our options. All the other people offered to come to our house to provide a free quote and consultation. Dion was the only one that charged for this service. After initially baulking at the price, we reluctantly decided to proceed with his consultation fee. We were quite nervous in paying this amount because we did not know what value Dion would provide. Even on the day that Dion was to arrive, we still had doubts whether this was the right thing to do - but we decided to have an open mind. Dion not only arrived on time but he actually talked to us and wanted to get a feel for what we did in the different parts of the house. Yes his brief was that we needed an outdoor entertainment area, but within 20 minutes of Dion's consultation, he was challenging us on that notion. His challenging questions and realistic answers shed new light on what we thought we wanted. The easy path that Dion could have taken was to agree with what we wanted. If we went down that path, Dion would have been happy but after living with the outdoor entertainment area, we would not have been. Dion instead really listened to our needs and presented ideas that went to the heart of what we wanted. His ideas were fantastic and the consultation fee was, in our eyes, a small price compared to the value that he provided. If you have any doubts on the value of this fee for service, don't. You will be amazed on what he delivers. By the way, the other people who supplied the free quotes spent as little time as they could with us and did not provide any ideas on the solution that we actually wanted.”

“Today, and every day, when you approach from a distance you can feel the welcome of your home’s familiar, warm glow. Everything about it reflects your personality. Your love, life, eccentricities and interests accompany you on your journey through the front door and meanderings around the rooms. The colours, ambience, sounds and familiar aromas are yours and each day your loved ones rejoice in the charm and beauty of their most intimate environment. When you are away, you long to return and, when you leave it is with considerable regret. In ten or twenty years the perfection of its design will remain as part of your spirit, enhancing the person that is you. You will be forever grateful that you chose the architect whose long hours of consultation guided you through the emergence of your most important, lifelong investment. Award winning architect Mark Walsh, principal of Lightwave, created a design that was specifically for me. Thank you, Mark”

“We had Rebecca from May Tree Studios discuss our existing and rather boring home with a view to give it more street appeal without spending a fortune and to make some alterations to the interior. We were more than delighted with the concept drawings provided following our discussion. We have now completed the work and the home is transformed to unrecognisable (one visitor drove right past). Recently a regular passer-by commented that our home is now the best in the street - it was easily the least attractive in our street previously. Together with the concept drawings, Rebecca also provided details of colours that are modern and very attractive, yet blend well with existing original features. I did not think that would be possible. We are a building company so we see a lot of home designs. We considered that the proposal from Rebecca was practical and cost effective, as well as being highly professional. We highly recommend her to you.”

“From initial planning to detailed design my wife & I were delighted with John’s input & suggestions on our house in Surfers Paradise & did not hesitate in commissioning him to plan our next house at Chevron Island We could not be happier with our current house & although it is nearly 14 years old many people comment on it’s design & appearance & have trouble in believing it is of that age John’s architecture is timeless We can highly recommend John for any architectural appointment”

“Cannot recommend Dwain and the team at Hezzelic enough! From our first meeting, Dwain was great to deal with, friendly, listened to what we were after and our concerns (we were building in Brisbane whilst living in Sydney), accommodating and provided valuable feedback on all aspects given this was our first build. All the specifications and price of the build were laid out from the beginning and Dwain took the time to talk through all our questions in detail (thanks for your patience!) to make sure we were comfortable with everything and to ensure there were no surprises. All the inclusions were of a high standard. The build itself was seamless, we were provided regular updates on the progress of the build and there were no delays from the original timetable. What sets Hezzelic apart is the quality of finishes and the pride Dwain, Shane and the team take in their work. Just a tiny example, during the build, Dwain noticed the way we had the front door swing in the plans didn’t flow well practically, he called us to discuss this, and amended the plan for the door accordingly. It is the little details like this that you miss when you are not on site but that we were grateful that the Hezzelic team took the time to think of and address during the build process. Dwain, Shane and the team have great attention to detail and take pride in their finishes, when we did the walk through for handover, they picked out defects that we missed and had them all fixed prior to us moving in. We are often complemented by friends (especially those who have built before) on the quality of our build. Thank you Dwain, Shane and the team. We look forward to partnering with you again in the future when we build our next home.”

“We worked with Lauren and her husband Ryan to refresh our home and to create a downstairs addition in our Queenslander. They were wonderful to work with. Lauren really took the time to understand our lifestyle and what we wanted to achieve. She came up with lots of innovative ideas, helped us edit our existing pieces (we were real bower birds) and was always considerate of our budget. Rylo offers both a building and a design team which was really convenient. We were dealing with the one company (rather than multiples) which made life much simpler. We now have a much lighter and brighter home which not only looks great, but really works for our family.”

“Alexandra is an extremely talented and creative architect that has a true understanding of identifying a customers needs & wants whilst delivering the customer amazing results. We used Alexandra's company to design a Solar usb charge point for a local council project driven by an NGO in Tweed Heads. We thought we knew what we wanted but Alexandra exceeded our expectations with the results. Scott Black Diamond Energy www.diamondenergy.com.au”
