Client Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

We contacted Hugh in March 2017 to design our new home and we couldn't be happier with the result. We're building our new home at the moment and as each step progresses, we're really growing to appreciate the small and well-considered detail in the design.

I have worked with Hugh over the past 12 months to deliver some interesting and exciting projects. Hugh's design approach, as well as his ability to display this on the drawings is excellent. I look forward to continuing working with him.

Hugh has been professional and very easy to work with and was understanding of any changes we made. He took great interest in the style of building we were designing and has been most helpful with any construction questions we have had.

We have just commenced construction of Hugh’s design for our new home in Mudgee. Hugh addressed our wish list and came up with a design which incorporated all our desired elements. He is very professional and easy to talk to. Changes were easily accommodated during the planning process. Attention was paid in particular to thermal and environmental issues.

How do we do it?

Design Process

BDD likes to simplify the design process and uses a simple 2 stage process which is typical of most small to medium scale projects. We work closely with clients to get the design created and then like to get the design checked to make sure it meets budget and council design requirements. If the project is on track with budget and compliance BDD moves to stage 02 and gets the design finalised and approved ready to Build
