My wife & I approached Chris to design our house to maximize views from a smaller elevated block. Although we had a particular style in mind, we were open to his interpretation of the brief. Chris expanded on our ideas considerably whilst creating a design which is true to the intended style. He has designed a wonderful modern home with flexible spaces which exceeded our expectations, while at the same time achieving our intended budget.

We engaged Chris Steel to finalise our architect’s drawings and requirements specification, put the project out to tender and assist with the selection of a builder. We are extending our farm house located west of Hamilton, a 1960s Mt Gambier stone single level house.
Chris and his team completed the work within the budget and timeframe resulting in the successful engagement of a builder. Chris was completely professional during the project, and was easy to get on with. The documentation produced gave the builder all the information required, and we anticipate minimal variations due to the detailed

Chris took the concept we put to him for our house and pretty much nailed it at the first attempt. We made a few changes and he talked us out of a few others which we now realise was the right choice. All up the experience was painless and positive. The builder had no major issues with the design and we ended up with exactly what we wanted.

Chris and his team were able to create and produce the design of the home we required on a demanding block with all required permits and reports ready to start the building stage. Chris kept us fully informed through the entire process and met with us whenever we wished to discuss the design. Peter and Kerrie

We asked Chris Steel Designs to help us design our new home. Chris was more than helpful. We found him to be patient with all our questions and ideas. Great communication. We didn't have to worry about any paper work, he organized everything that is needed for the build to go ahead. The complete finished plans, made it much easier to get quotes, as the builders were all quoting from the same plan. And the builders all mentioned to us that the plans were exceptional. Being always approachable and available, I would certainly recommend Chris Steel Designs, to anyone wanting great service.
