We are so glad for the work designate did for us. I have no hesitation using them again and recommending them to others. Thanks for your all you did for us. The end results turned out better than we hoped for.”

“We approached Designate after being recommend by an associate of mine. Tim took the design scheme we liked and applied it to our existing property. Tim listened to exactly what we needed and also enhanced the original design with added architectural aesthetics to really improve the properties street presences, the natural flow of the property as well as to make the most of the expansive sea views. The project had a tight time line and Tim managed to deliver, even with external consultant delays. Tim is always willing to go that extra mile to ensure the project tracks along with minimal delays and is always prepared to quickly answer any questions or concerns I may have had.
Tims design input and construction knowledge has been a real asset to the job and we are very impressed with the final result. I would happy recommend him for any other project in the future”

“My wife and I received a great service from Designate. Being a young inexperienced family we found the design process daunting at first. However, Tim from Designate was very friendly and accommodating and we really enjoyed the process. I believe Designate to be a professional, personal and cost effective choice for those wanting to design their own unique home. I would have no reservations in recommending their services. ”

I unreservedly recommend Tim and his team to anyone embarking on their building project.
