Well, we can’t believe that we are living in such a beautiful home. We met Richard when we went to look at a SIP home being built by Bellissimo Homes. Richard and John’s enthusiasm in what they were showing us was infectious. When we decided we would build a house, Richard soon got to work with our requirements of a light and bright home with an ‘easy-to-work-in’ kitchen. After coming and looking at where we wanted to build, Richard came back with a beautiful plan. It wasn’t until the roof went on that we realised what insight Richard had in putting the large sliding doors and hi-lite windows above, that the outside was brought into the house. The stacker kitchen window allows the house to flow on into the existing stone pergola area. The house has a relaxing vibe and is a dream to live in. We love it..! Would highly recommend this wonderful man to help make your dreams come true too. Thank you so very much Richard. Martin & Renate – New Residence (SIPs Alternative Construction) Pingelly
We wanted something different within budget with a Wow factor..! Wow, we certainly got that..! The first thing that struck us was Richards infectious enthusiasm for the Project along with his knowledge and attention to detail. We were working on a small narrow block and we feel that the design has exploited the full potential of what was available, with advantage being taken on all elevations. The home delivered full expectations and a feel good factor. We would highly recommend Richard to any potential customer. Peter & Audrey – New Two Storey Residence (SIPs Alternative Construction) Kallaroo
Richard designed for us an extension to our 1917 weatherboard house. This incorporated an open plan living, dining and kitchen area which opens out to an alfresco area. Richard created an extension with the “wow” factor incorporating into the design some unusual features that were part of the brief. Richard is a passionate and creative designer who is solution focused. He was diligent, observant and considered in his role and we felt very supported by him throughout the whole build. We particularly enjoyed the “topping out” celebration he arranged for us and the building team when the last beam was placed on the roof. Thanks so much Richard for all your help with this project. Barry & Vanessa – Alteration / Addition Guildford.
Green Ridge Constructions worked with Richard from Design2Solution on a major Alteration / Addition in Guildford.
Richards plans and documentation are very detailed with all the approval’s in place ready to apply for a Building Permit. This level of detail allowed us to fully understand the project scope from the start.
If questions did arise during construction he was always easily contactable and could meet us on site if required to work out solutions that the client, builder and designer where happy with, all in a timely manner.
We look forward to working with Design2Solution on future projects and happily recommend them to Client’s. Stuart Maughan – Reg’d Builder, Green Ridge Constructions
We would like to take this opportunity to express our satisfaction and appreciation of the quality house Richard designed for us. We have loved working with Richard on our first home build. He listened carefully to our needs & created a design that surpassed our imaginings and one that we are extremely happy with. Richard cleverly created spaces, incorporated efficient and up to date qualities and produced a perfect 2-storey family home. His collaborative approach and his successful working relationship with the builder was important for us, as most of the work was completed in our absence. He also supervised the project along with the builder and demanded a high standard from the sub-contractors and made sure everything was built to specifications. Not only did Richard make the house design stage stress free but also the construction stage too.
We have the greatest admiration for Richard’s skills. His designs, his attention to detail, his choice of interior and exterior finishes and his great personality made the whole project a pleasure for us. We could not recommend him more highly. Our place looks amazing and we just love inviting everyone over to show it off. Design2Solution prides itself on delivering good service and a high quality home and he certainly delivered with our home.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Design2Solution to others planning on building a new home or a renovation. We are delighted with our finished product thanks to Richard and his professionalism and would happily use Design2Solution on our next building project. Aldo and Rita – New Two Storey Residence Spearwood.
Ultimo Constructions have had the pleasure of working with Richard from Design2Solution over the past 2 years. Richard was incredibly responsive when it came to providing detailed drawings and information to support the New Two Storey project in Spearwood. At any stage of the construction process Richard was able to provide informed answers to any technical questions the Site Manager had and, had a great depth of knowledge and experience to lead the project. From a builder’s perspective, our success can often rely on the designer’s support and collaborative involvement. Richard was able to lead the project and liaise between the client and builder to assist in achieving the building of an architecturally custom designed home. We look forward to working with you in the future Richard. Angelo Rossi. Managing Director & Reg’d Builder – Ultimo Constructions
We had an idea of what we wanted to replace our old single garage. We needed some help developing the concepts to a fully fledged design. We wanted something to be very proud of, adding value to our home and have that ‘wow’ factor – but all within a budget. Richard took our thoughts and developed the concept into a very functional Double Garage and Loft that truly looks the part. Through the design, tender and build process Richard was there all the way making sure we got the right outcome. We couldn’t be happier with the result and couldn’t recommend Richard highly enough. A true professional with attention to the detail, taking pride in the result. Thanks Richard for all of your support. Peter & Bev. Alteration / Addition East Perth.
I cannot recommend highly enough Design2Solution. I had a need for a detailed design retro-fitted to an existing Balinese Gazebo & Patio at my property, so they were Council approved (as they weren’t when I bought the property) and, I wanted to change the roof to Colorbond to make it waterproof, so it could be used all year round. I was referred to Richard Selman at Design2Solution by a friend and I am so glad I was. If you need a first-class job done, then I cannot recommend Richard & his design services highly enough. Not to mention he is very well connected with the Trades that were needed to do the work, which took away the headache of me having to source them once the design work had been done. The work of the Trades he recommended was in line with his professional standards and the job was completed to a very high standard. Richard saw the process through from design drawing to submission to Council & then final approvals. He took away all the hassle from me having to do something I had very little experience in and, allowed me to get on with my Life.
If you need any sort of design work doing, especially where it will require regulatory sign off, Richard is your go-to and, will be mine for any future requirements I have. Thank you for all your great work Richard. I now have a Council compliant Gazebo & Patio that when I go to sell ticks all the boxes on all regulatory fronts. Not to mention, have added to the value of the property. Haydn – Maida Vale. Building Approvals Certificate (BAC) Unauthorised Works
When we decided to build our new family home, we choose a big name builder for what we thought was ease and industry knowledge. The problem was we had no building knowledge. It became obvious early on that we didn’t understand all the aspects of building and how simple changes affect the whole flow of the house. On a recommendation from a friend we engaged Richard to review our plans and talk them through with us. With his knowledge of building Richard was able to explain to us many of the concepts and jargon that we had just ‘glossed’ over during our client meetings with the builder. Through these meetings with Design2Solution, Richard gave us a number of suggestions that helped us build the home we wanted and, with our own personal touches which the big name builder would have missed. Jeremy & Nat – New Residence Eden Hill
Design2Solution gave us a professional experience and it was an easy way to get what we wanted from design to completion of the house. Every step was communicated so there were no surprises on the timing and what was happening next. Richard was on site to keep a close connection with the builder so when there was a Builder issue around the roof architecture, Richard was quickly able to provide us with 2 solutions so that we could choose and proceed without any delay. Design2solution gave us the flexibility to be dynamic about what we wanted and to fill in the gaps when we were unsure of what exactly we needed in the house. Design2Solution also helped to give our house design a uniqueness or signature style which you would not get from the larger companies. If you want a unique design in a friendly, professional environment from add on projects to a full house design then we would recommend Design2Solution. D&D – New Residence Bassendean
The designer came up with creative options that maximised the use of space on a small block and the renovations were sympathetic to the heritage features of the original building. The assistance dealing with approvals and selecting a builder made the process a pleasure. The design has stood the test of time and still delivers comfortable and practical living. Michael – Alteration / Addition North Perth
I can highly recommend Design2Solution. I engaged Richard back in 2005 when I was planning on renovating my house and I’m very happy I did..! Richard’s attention to detail, vision and on-going support were invaluable to me while I completed my renovations over a number of years. And ten years later I’m still enjoying the results of his vision. Colin – Alteration / Addition Bayswater.
