Testimonials

"Brett Burns from Design2B was recommended to us by a friend who had just completed their renovation. We were very happy with the level of service provided by Brett. He listened to our ideas and thoughts, and was able to guide us and give us advice on how to achieve the best design solution. Brett was always very prompt in his responses to any of our concerns and moved the design process along quickly. His design not just improved our house and increased its value, but it also improved our lifestyles. The house used to be very dark and hot in summer. Now, we can enjoy the lovely sunshine coming in through the large windows and open space in our living area. I love the gentle breeze through our house on a hot summer day. Brett helped us to create practical and welcoming family home, and we are very thankful for his assistance." - Amy Gillespie, Wavell Heights

"Thank you so very much Brett for your hard work in coming up with a design for our renovation. We absolutely love our 'new' family home. We know it was not an easy task to design with the council restrictions we encountered, not to mention our very firm ideas about where everything had to go having lived here for 10 years already. We had met a handful of designers before you but there was something about your calm and practical approach and ability to listen to our vision for our home that made the choice very easy. The highest compliment I think we could pay you over this job is that the person you were at that first meeting remained exactly the same over a 2-3 year process from beginning to end, whatever issue was thrown your way, you remained calm, patient and utterly professional. We could not have asked for a better builder and designer to work with and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a designer who truly cares about the end result for their clients." - Jen, Wilston
