I have worked with THE DESIGNFIRE on a few projects and they have been a pleasure to work with.
They always respond very quickly to any queries I have and deliver plans and drawings in a timely manner. They’ve just completed the concepts and Resource Consent plans for a set of 2 Duplex units on a difficult corner site with two arterial roads. My requests were well-considered and they worked very well with my planner to deliver a design that meets my brief and maximizes the sites’ potential by pushing the limits of the Planning regulations but is still acceptable by the Council’s planners. I have other on-going projects with them and would highly recommend them to anyone else requiring architectural services.
