We design buildings that simply connect people to place. From a plan that hinges around a garden, or an elevation that frames a panoramic view, no two projects are the same. Each is a special response to client and context.
"We had Hunter walking through our home for over a year. He treated it with more care than most visitors do. We never once felt like our house was just a job site to him."
"We used W O Flatz for an extension in 2019 and came back to them for a full renovation in 2023. That probably says more than anything else we could write."
"The site had significant slope and the ground conditions turned out to be more complex than the initial investigation showed. Rather than coming back to us with a variation shock, Hunter flagged the issue early and we worked through the options together before any extra cost was committed. That kind of transparency is not something you always get in construction, and it made a difficult moment much easier to manage for us."
"Our double-storey extension finished on time and within budget. We have friends who cannot say that about their builders. We can."
"Our villa was built in the early 1900s and matching the existing joinery and detailing was something we had been told was difficult and expensive. W O Flatz were straightforward about what was achievable and what it would cost. The timber profiles match. The architraves around the new doors are indistinguishable from the originals. The junction between the old part of the house and the new extension was something we spent a lot of time discussing before work started, and the result is better than what we drew on paper. We have had people visit who cannot tell which part of the house is new."
"We went into the project nervous about cost blowouts. The charge-up model turned out to be the opposite of what we feared. Every invoice was itemised and we could see exactly where the money was going. When we made changes during the build, the cost impact was explained before anything was committed. We ended up within four percent of the original estimate on a project that changed significantly during construction."
"We were living in the house during a significant renovation, which tests everyone's patience including the builder's. Hunter handled it with good humour and real consideration for the fact that we had two young children trying to live normally through a building site. He flagged noisy work in advance, kept dust contained better than seemed possible, and checked in with us regularly just as people rather than as clients. It made a hard few months much easier than it had any right to be."
