"From that first conversation, James gave us honest, practical advice about what could be achieved with the space. They made the design process feel easy, collaborative & focused on our vision. James always made himself available, whether it was a quick text, a late night email or popping over to walk through things in person. James was always patient & happy to explain how things would work. He walked us through every iteration of the floor plans, helped us visualise the space & made sure we understood every detail. He also helped coordinate structural engineer approvals & handled all the back-and-forth with the council. If we spotted anything he took care of it straight away & made sure all the necessary documentation was sorted. When we ran into issues with our bathroom supplier James went above & beyond. He took it upon himself to speak directly to them helped us get a resolution with the supplier. If you're thinking about renovating stop thinking & just call Design Spec. Seriously."
Trader reply: "We’re thrilled to hear how positive your experience was and that James was able to support you through every step of the process. Our goal is always to make the journey as smooth and collaborative as possible, so it’s wonderful to know that came through. Your kind words and recommendation mean a great deal to James and the whole Design Spec team - we truly appreciate it."
