Great communication about the work to be done, responding to our feedback/ideas, provided regular updates and promptly got the building consent approved by Council.

We are in the process of renovating our older 50's style house in Nelson and William has been a great help for us. He is clever with his designs and ideas and also respects our wishes and preferences. He's efficient and a clear communicator and has been a great help in getting our permit from Council. I recommend him to anyone who is undertaking a building or development project.

I wanted a carport, but the ready-made products available had several issues. They were made of low-grade materials, didn’t match my house, and were excessively expensive considering the final product. I had heard good things about Will Samuels' approach to design and his ability to truly understand what the client wanted. We ended up with a detailed set of plans that matched the age of the house and were fully compliant with local regulations—a must in today’s insurance world. The builder I showed the plans to even commented on the design and level of detail, which will allow him to complete the build without any issues. Personally, I found Will Samuels to be a decent, honest, and ethical professional. I look forward to having him help design my kitchen and bathroom next. John Parsons Nelson

WSA prepared plans for our house extension and has managed the whole process from initial concepts through to Building Consent and engaging a builder. We've been really happy with William's attention to detail, understanding our needs as a client, and steering our project towards what will be an incredible design result - beyond what we could have imagined. Highly recommend William Samuels Architects for professional and high quality architecture!
