In the limelight
Client referrals are always a good indication of a job well done they're also the main source of business for award-winning Waikato design firm Byrne Associates
New home owners often say building a second house is a lot easier, as they know exactly what they could have done better the first time around.
But such hindsight is no comfort for most people looking to build from scratch, which is why word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a good designer.
Byrne Associates, a Waikato architectural design firm, knows full well the benefits of strong working relationships client referrals form a key part of the company's business.
Director Adrian Byrne says the company strives to meet and exceed client expectations.
"Being a small practice, we are able to give our clients a highly personalised service," he says. "We always pay particular attention to space planning. One of the most important skills of a good designer is knowing how to maximise the available space where to position rooms for the sun, views and environmental elements, and linking these to create an easy flow. Catering to a family's changing needs is also crucial."
Adrian Byrne says the company not only forms good working relationships with clients it also works with other consultants and building officials to ensure the construction process runs smoothly.
The consultative approach has also paid off in other ways Byrne Associates has twice won the Architectural Designers New Zealand (ADNZ) national design award for multi-unit developments, as well as other ADNZ and Registered Master Builders Federation awards.
Byrne Associates specialises in residential design. The company's portfolio includes large Waikato country houses, as well as apartment and townhouse projects.
