    TESTIMONIALS

    Meg Upjohn

    "Our top priorities in selecting a designer for our house were finding someone who could understand what we wanted, produce a great design that could be affordably constructed, and had a low fee structure. When it came down to a choice of designers who met our specs, our number one reason for selecting Curtis Architecture was the excellent communication with Casey. She was a good listener and easy to relate to, she checked in with us regularly, and she was prompt to follow up with our queries."

    Tom & Penny Cunningham

    "The main reason we chose to use Curtis Architecture is Casey listened to me right from the word go.
    I had a very specific brief and project needs that were non-negotiable. Because Casey and I were on the same level from the very beginning it made the concept process, timing and problem solving very painless! We have enjoyed the process well done!"

    Eliza & Heath Turnbull

    "We connected well with Casey. We got on well, felt she understood what we wanted, similar age and stage. Valued her ability to listen and hear our ideas/changes. Pricing was also very competitive.
    We liked how they were process driven - clear steps, good processes in place, willingness to work with builder."

    Matt Whitelaw

    Irving Builders

    "We have found Curtis Architecture to be a forward-thinking Architectural design company that has a good grasp on ensuring the clients brief, important construction/site attributes and budget which together forms the overall design service. You have a good system for tailoring a level of service to meet your client’s expectations.

    We like that Curtis Architecture understands the importance of working with builders through the design phase to provide technical assistance and construction costings, while ensuring the brief stays the primary focus. Curtis Architecture understands when a Builder, Architect and client work together as a team from the first meeting there is a much greater chance for success.

    Would be more than happy to refer future clients to your practice and will continue to do so."

    Lance Irving

    Managing Director, Irving Builders

    "We have worked with many architects over the years, Curtis Architecture would be by far the best.

    Often, we find designs are done and discussions throughout the process had been done without any involvement from a builder.

    We were most surprised with our first dealings with Curtis Architecture being asked to meet and discuss design and budget from the outset. Casey is very open and level-headed which brings a very balanced approach to the whole process and with Adams analytical strengths to streamlining their business they are a team we want to be working with.

    As Builders, we make money by turning projects over on time and budget so good communication throughout the build for us is so important. Adam, Casey and the team are quick to deal with council requests and get information to site ensuring continuity and flow is maintained while also being upfront with clients as to the detail required.

    On behalf of all the team at Irving Builders, we highly recommend Curtis Architecture for any design work you may have."

    Geraint Howells

    "We have used Casey as our Architectural Designer several times now. She is professional, approachable, extremely knowledgeable and whilst being efficient in offering new concept ideas she was able to fit in our requirements.

    We would, and will continue to highly recommend her."
