Report
Took us 6months to get near a finished plan but then we had to give up. They gave us the most inexperienced draftsman and the minimum of their own input. We wanted a disabled friendly house and they didn't help with the design at all. All they wanted was to make it bigger all over. We were very very disappointed.

Roy and his team at RHD went above and beyond to help us bring our vision to life. Roy has a wealth of knowledge and is willing to assist in anyway he can. I would highly recommend Roy Hodgson Design. Thanks again to Roy & his team.

I have engaged Roy Hodgson Design on 2 large house extension/renovations and both have been excellent experiences. Roy and his team have been creative and professional throughout the process from concept to design to approvals and revisions. Roy's wealth of experience was invaluable when I needed advice and solutions on some complex and challenging design issues often with heritage considerations. Thanks Roy and team.
