our 'testimonials'
considered colab anchors every project with design consideration and client collaboration
“Having met with other building design companies, we knew that we were missing something as we just weren’t happy with the ‘straight to fee proposal’ approach – we didn’t feel understood. We knew that we needed to find a building designer who wanted to take the time to get to know what we were hoping to achieve, be completely interested in our project (and not be just another client) and take a very considered approach to take full advantage of all that our block of land has to offer. From the first phone call, we knew that Steve was different.
Our first meeting confirmed this with Steve providing a completely different approach to discovering our goals. We are very happy with the staged process Considered Colab offers and look forward to the ongoing collaboration between Steve and ourselves, as we enter the more detailed design stage of our building project”
M&C
"Steve and David have been so helpful and supportive throughout the whole design process for our house. The passion & positive design attitude from Steve and David is really worth noting as nothing is too problematic or difficult.
The way they have planned and mapped the design journey for us, as clients from start to finish for our house flows extremely well ensuring a great hassle-free experience for the client.
The inclusion of our builder has been a great initiative for cost savings and updates on build costs throughout the design journey ensuring there is no expensive nasty surprises at project conclusion. We would have no hesitation in recommending Steve and David to anyone looking to design a house."

Wow, what can we say other than absolutely amazing !
It makes life so much easier when you work with people who truly love what they do and are committed to working with you not for you.
Only in our dreams did we think we could have such a fabulous design for the property we are building, but with Steve and David on our side they have bought our dreams to life and are designing not only a stunning home but a practical and economical house that encompasses creative living spaces using technological and aesthetic designs.
