What people say about us

Shire Building Design has great vision and professionalism. We were so happy with the design they created for our new home renovation - it far exceeded our expectations. They were a joy to work with.

Working with Jake on designing our renovation has been a dream. He has provided us with a number of thoughtful options to choose from and has closely considered our brief and what is going to work best for our family and budget. He’s a great and prompt communicator, works efficiently and is thorough. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for someone down-to-earth, reliable and highly competent to work on their project.”

“Jake from Shire Design Building created an amazing design for transforming a ‘red brick terror’ from the 60’s into a coastal haven. The design has now come to fruition and we are delighted. The soaring cathedral ceilings fill the living space with an abundance of light and enhance the river views. Our home is everything we hoped for and more, thank you Jake for your careful attention to detail.”

Jake was able to achieve our ideal space, all within the confines of our budget and the very strict heritage conditions. Jake pulled together an expert team to get our project over the line and was able to accommodate any challenge that we or the council threw his way. We would highly recommend Jake, he was easy to deal with, proactive in finding solutions and made the whole process a pleasure.”
