“Building a house can be a daunting task that will lead to stress and potential mistakes. I was doubtful that we needed a designer to help us with our build. Without doubt the best choice we made during our journey was engaging Kate Vale to help us along the way. Kate has a vast knowledge when it comes to design but I was impressed with her knowledge of the construction process and how to get the best results from your new house. Kate provided detailed plans for all the trades – electrical, lighting, tiling, joinery, window coverings, floor coverings etc. Our very experienced builder was highly complimentary of the drawings and the detail they provided. On the design front Kate was sensitive to our needs, both financially and in relation to the “vision we had in our head” of the finished product. We were always provided with numerous choices and she really listened to what we wanted and this has been reflected in our wonderful new home. After being a doubter, I am now a huge fan. I cannot recommend Kate enough. Her expertise and knowledge saved us a huge amount of time and her ability to source furnishings and other pieces saved us money as well. Having Kate by our side from start to finish made the building process an enjoyable and exciting one. Most importantly she worked very well with our builder, this kept the process moving forward which saved us time and money as well. Do not hesitate to talk to Kate about your project – I doubt you will find a better designer to help you through your build”
