“We engaged Jay to design our new family home. I was highly impressed with the professionalism of Ukalovic design throughout the whole process, and delighted with the final design. Jay has been completely client focused, allowing us to express and explore our design ideas, while providing practical advice and improvements to our existing ideas. As such, we feel we received the best of both worlds - the flair, ideas and experience of a quality building designer, as well as the ability to incorporate our ideas into the house. Most importantly, nothing was too much trouble - which is important when you are designing a house. Overall, I can highly recommend Ukalovic design for anyone who wants to achieve a stunning and functional new home.”

“I highly recommend Zenya Adderly of Henarise pty ltd. He helped to renovate the front of my dilapidated 1920s timber cottage in the inner west. The budget and site size were both quite tight and zen managed a wonderful result for under budget. Someone you can trust with the keys to you house, one if the most honest builders I've ever worked with. (Im a woman who works in the building industry and this aspect of a builder is very important to me- especially when it came to my own home)”

“we bought a new home earlier this year and hired P Built constructions to fix up some issues identified on the building report, including replacing our flooring, fixing the firewall in the roof and renovating our bathroom. Pat kept us updated throughout the process, providing photos of progress and identified any areas where the project deviated from the quote. He was helpful and professional and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to renovate.”

“Charles designed the home we never knew we could have - it was better than we imagined in every way, and a year after completion continues to delight us with its efficiency, beauty and cleverness. Our very tight budget provided challenges that he more than rose to, and we have a beautiful and sustainable home to show for it. He was fabulous to deal with, accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended!”

“We engaged Your Home Designs to draw up some building plans for a minor renovation at our home in Maryville. Zoe was a pleasure to deal with, always prompt and thorough, making us feel very comfortable and assured throughout the whole process. She had extensive knowledge of the process involved with Development Applications and her knowledge of building processes from her varied work was a huge plus! Zoe added to our original plans and her forward-thinking meant that we even ended up with an extra covered outdoor entertaining area. We would recommend Zoe to first time or experienced renovators and will definitely be recommending her to family and friends in the future.”

“We engaged Cathy and her team from Slater Architects after they were highly recommended to us. The brief was to design a home that was filled with light and made the most of the block. We could not be happier with the end result, from concept to completion of our home Slater architects was there with us and they have made the process seamless.”

“Nick and the team at Green Chip did an amazing job on our back deck extension. Each day we'd come home from work, we were amazed at the progress they had made during the day. They were also very consultative and fluid in their process, adapting to our decisions we were making as the build was underway (eg: How high we wanted screens once the deck was in place). A couple of years later and we are using the deck more than ever. A great investment and would definitely recommend them to friends.”

“i have lived in my home for over 23 years, avoiding any changes as we were comfortable in our family place, over time and long long months of procrastination we had made the decision to renovate our entire home stripping inside to almost its bare self, we decided to add a new bathroom, and have an open plan living. the boys provided contacts to all trades which made the job easier for us. in less than 3 months jeda build had flipped my place completely into a modernised beautiful home, words cant express how much i would recommend this team.”

“We have been working with Richard for nearly 10 years on a very large private home and 2 bungalows that took over 5 years of planning and now nearly 5 years of construction. The central part of the main residence is an almost exact reconstruction of a 470 year old Indian Hindu palace, Jodha Bai Palace, Fatepur Sikri, Agra, India. We have imported 10 containers of hand crafted Indian red Sandstone and Indian Teak joinery to ensure an accurate representation of the original building. To say this project has had some challenges for Richard and ourselves would be a gross understatement. Involving 3 major redesigns and the architectural drawing of hundreds of difficult individual components to ensure accuracy by the Indian suppliers. Not to mention pedantic clients skyping over a red late at night, Richard as always met the challenge and delivered what we wanted. Situated on 4000m2 on one of the highest points in Terranora the property has already become a major landmark and is a testament to both Richard and ourselves what can be achieved. Professional, easy going, likeable and now a good friend, My wife and I would highly Richard.”

“It took us several years to find the right architect - Debra was recommended to us by two different people - by a builder who had worked with her and by a friend who was Debra's client. Debra was able to design something that was a great home for the family and took advantage of the house's position and view - and she kept within our budget! She is great at the technical and creative aspects of her profession, but the upsell with Debra is her relationship and communication skills. Our job ran smoothly - not only because of the quality of the workmanship of our builder who she helped us choose - but also because Debra's communication style was considered, open and consultative - she acted as the perfect go-between for us all and issues were resolved quickly and easily. We've had many friends whose building projects have turned into nightmares - but ours was very hassle-free and much of the thanks for that goes to Deb!”
