Stuart was the perfect person for the job. He came and viewed the job on the weekend, he kept in contact often. When any issues came up and found solutions and contacted the CCC himself and spoke to colleagues to run through a new scenario. Then confirmed with me. It made the project flow easily, quickly and stayed well within the original budget. I highly recommend

Stuart Cushing did a great job on our plans and supported us through the build and with additional information that the council needed. The only hiccup was the civil engineer he selected changing employers and thereby triggering a variation at the council.

We had an exceptional experience working with Arfa Yasin from AYS Architects Ltd. Her attention to detail throughout our project was outstanding, ensuring everything was designed perfectly to meet our needs. She was incredibly timely, keeping the process moving forward without any delays. A massive benefit was that she handled the entire council consent process from start to finish, which saved us so much stress. On top of her high-quality work, her services were very cost-effective.

I highly recommend Darren! He helped get my full renovation project off the ground and made the entire process incredibly easy. What could have very quickly become a stressful and overwhelming project felt seamless thanks to how thorough, friendly and professional he was. He took care of the drawings, council process and all the details along the way and helped me bring my vision to life. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or use him again in the future!

Plans required for council consent

Draughting Services Orewa, Rodney

Hayley worked with us on a project where we renovated two bathrooms, new tiled shower floors so needed plans and help with BC for waterproofing purposes. We also removed a couple of brace walls in other areas and needed to move the bracing to other walls. Hayley handled the whole process from drawings to receiving the BC from Council. Her communications were clear and prompt. I would highly recommend Mealings Architecture and I would use them again. Thank you for making the process so easy.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Duncan on some concept plans for alterations we want to make to our home. He responded quickly, listened to our issues with our current layout, and came up with some great ideas for making changes. We would definitely approach him again if we needed some fresh, practical solutions to design issues.

DGI is brilliant. Darren understood the scope, visited the site, took his time to understand what we were trying to achieve, considered the unique complexities of the job, then proceeded to deliver a great design, and follow up service with the council to get us to the point of consent approval to build. Couldn't be happier with the service he provided.

Steve was fantastic to work with throughout the entire process. He was always willing to work with my ideas, nothing was ever a problem, and he did an excellent job bringing my vision to life and getting it ready for consent. While communication could be a little slow at times (largely in part due to the council processes), it was always clear and helpful when he responded. Overall, I’m very happy with the outcome and would happily work with him again.

Very happy with Andy and his team. Meeting contractors was daunting, straight away we just got that feeling that BuildingLab were the right fit for us. Andy was very quick to get all the subtrades in on the one day to look at the job which gave us confidence that he had built a very strong and reliable team. Communication during the renovation was never an issue Andy was always quick to reply or respond to the many questions that popped up along the way. 100% will choose BuildingLab again
