Testimonials

Steve from Concept Studio was friendly and insightful in designing our beautiful house extension. With his guidance and practical knowledge he patiently explained how the various systems of our house worked (or failed to work) together to create a beautiful and functional home. We are very satisfied with his professionalism, attention to detail, willingness to dig deeper into the issues and to deliver on time.

We had been contemplating a home renovation for at least three years. We wanted the renovation to be as perfect as possible but also within quite a tight budget. But we didn't seem to find someone who shared our vision Recently, browsing the HOUZZ website we happened upon the profile of Concept Studio and Steve. After reading through the Concept Studio website and also the glowing reviews on HOUZZ we decided to contact Steve. It has been one of our better decisions and Steve, the studio and his draftsman Michael have been wonderful to work with. Even though we didn't have much of an idea of costs to build and also final fit outs, we were upfront with Steve as to our budget and expectations. Steve took our ideas on board and offered some fabulous alternatives to some of our fanciful ideas. Steve is a realist with wonderful vision and worked within our budget. We genuinely appreciated Steve's input. It is great to engage with someone who has vast experience in the industry and is client focussed and works collaboratively. None of our questions went unanswered, even if they were trivial. Concept Studios have been patient and very easy to communicate with. There were many little details that we had not considered and perhaps Steve didn't need to bring them to our attention as it wasn't in his scope of works, but he did. With the plans in place we now look forward to our home being transformed into something special. Concept Studios and Steve have been fantastic.

Loved working with Steve and his team. The plans are exactly what we are after, he sorted out everything we needed for us (engineer etc) and we can’t wait to commence the build soon!

I have worked closely with Steve on a professional level for a number of jobs as a draftsperson. The way he approaches and undertakes each project is always customised. He not only listens to the clients, he becomes involved in each step and designs to provide the best outcome possible. While he does have a particular style, which his clients love, he never compromises a design by forcing his opinions and lets the design develop into functional and aesthetic spaces. He is always available for a chat and I haven’t seen him without a smile.

I have been liaising with Steve on a professional level for over 10 years. He is the definition of a gentlemen, professional and great to deal with. What I love most about Steve is the quality of his workmanship and ability to provide great designs and always achieving a high level of compliance at the most fair and reasonable prices.
