We had the pleasure of working with Nico and Ira at Back Country Studios, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their help in bringing our dream build to life. From the start, Nico’s communication was exceptional—clear, timely, and always thoughtful. He showed incredible patience throughout the process and impressed us with his high-level knowledge and professionalism. His work ethic is unmatched, and it’s clear he truly cares about the quality of his work and the people he works with. Ira also played a key role, creating a beautiful sketch of our home that helped us truly visualize the final product. Their creative insight and collaborative approach made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially given the level of expertise and care we received. Our house is finally under construction, and we can’t wait to see it all come together. We highly recommend Nico & Ira —they’re an absolute pleasure to work with Reply: Thank you Lauren for your very kind review, you literally made our day! It was great working on your new build, if you need anything we are just a phone call or an email away. We are looking forward to seeing the house completed!

Nico was excellent to work with - he listened to what we wanted, provided quality suggestions and advice, and managed all Council inquiries as part of the consenting process. Highly recommend Nico and Backcountry Studio for any of your design/draughting works. Thanks Nico for all of your work, the workshop is now (finally) complete, and exactly how we envisaged! Reply: Thank you Charlotte, your review means a lot to us! It was a pleasure working with you :)

I was absolutely thrilled with the work provided by Nico and Ira at Backcountry Studio. While I felt confident in their experience, expertise and communication from the beginning, they executed the consent documentation for a recent project beyond my expectations. They produced a drawing set and specification which was comprehensive, well set out and the attention to detail was excellent. I look forward to collaborating again soon. Reply: Thank you Rochelle, always a pleasure to work with you.
