Average rating: 5.0 out of 5
Review by Hari
on 21st September 2026
"Working closely with Lauren for quite a few months on my plans for extending my home. She has been remarkable and so patient. The key thing to Lauren and the team at DesignSpec. Is that it is no hard sell or push from them. Their approach is calm, professional from the very first call, to meet up and then subsequent discussions. Planning is tricky and where I live it is particularly a fine line of acceptance or not. So, I can only recommend the experience, professional and steady support of Lauren and DesignSpec. Really the best choice and decision I made in choosing them over anyone else."
