Testimonials

Homeowners share their experiences with Archicentre architects.

BETTY, PRESTON, VICTORIA Archicentre Inspection Service Rotting stumps had been giving Betty's house trouble for a number of years. Betty tried three different contractors in the Preston area, before discovering Archicentre. She was also aware that the home had a few other problems, but she didn't know which problems to tackle first. The architect provided a thorough inspection of the house and in the report, clearly noted the areas that needed the fastest attention.

In a recent letter, Betty wrote, "the pleasant and efficient manner in which (the architect) gave his advice and recommendations, duly followed up in writing, is greatly appreciated." Three months later, the stumps have been replaced and next, the couple plan to re-wire the electricity. In addition, the bathroom door now swings open from the outside which is more suitable for her husband, who is recovering from an accident.

JOANNE, PERTH WA Archicentre Design Services Like many aspiring home renovators, Joanne and her husband pursued their initial plan with trepidation. They had a number of ideas but were unsure how everything could work together. With her tongue planted firmly in her cheek, Joanne secretly thought this venture might end in divorce. An Archicentre architect was sought for expert guidance. The pressure mounted when the architect learned that the sketches would be a Christmas present for Joanne's husband. Joanne explained the architect's process.

"(The architect) developed four conceptual drawings, each exploring a different method of approach to the project. From or responses to these, Ian developed a more detailed draft. It was this plan that was mysteriously delivered to our door on Christmas Day."

She continued. "Imagine my husband's surprise when he opened the Christmas Cracker to find the detailed plan inside. Imagine our absolute delight to find that the plan was indeed a miracle. It met ALL of our needs and desires in a way that built onto and enhanced the existing layout and external appearance of our home".

"Thank you Archicentre for the service you offer, and an enormous thank you to the architect for being the professional that he is".

"We planned on renovating a farmhouse in Bunyip into a weekender cottage. However, it was important that we stayed sensitive to what traditional farmhouses looked like and how it would fit into the environment. The architect came up with excellent options and we are currently putting the plans into effect."

The Erina Rugby League Football Club recently used an Archicentre architect as a consultant. The project manager had this to say about the renovation advice: "(The architect) put a lot of thought and consideration into the renovations we were thinking about and as a result came up with some great ideas, innovative concepts that were all workable and within our budget. I will certainly be singing the praises of Archicentre to anyone I know interested in redesigning their homes".

WILLIAM, CAMBERWELL, VIC
Archicentre Pre-purchase Inspection Services

"(The architect) carried out five inspections for us as we house hunted over the course of a year. We valued his thorough checks and we learned a lot about the things you look for in an inspection. The architect helped us find the right house and we are very happy with the purchase. It is a very warm and friendly house, and we are happy to be beginning our family in it."

RAY and KARA NSW
Archicentre Pre-purchase Inspection Services

In deciding to purchase a home in the Lake Macquarie region on NSW, we insisted that the most important decision as to whether to purchase the property was a building inspection by an Architect registered with The Royal Australian Institute of Architects.
We had no hesitation in turning to Archicentre who pride themselves on providing Australia's premier architectural advisory service. Our initial enquiries received prompt and courteous attention and within an hour we were provided with the details of the professionals who would be carrying out a building and pest inspection.

This was no ordinary experience. The architect assigned to our inspection demonstrated a wealth of professional knowledge and insights into building codes and regulations. He spent several hours at the property, ensuring every aspect of Archicentre's 300 - point inspection checklist was covered.

The architect called us immediately after he completed the inspection to inform us of the outcome of his investigation, providing timely advice that allowed us to secure the property before another interested party could sign the contract! We were provided with professional advice and a thoroughly informative report that directed us to any particular issues and how these could cost-effectively be addressed.

It's without hesitation that we warmly recommend the services of all the team at Archicentre.
