Great team players, flexible, and always have the collaborative team approach to get a building to work.  We are, and remain very happy with their service, and that’s saying something within the ever-evolving NZ building industry.”

F+D=A deliver a finished product that is dazzling and exceeds all your expectations.  From design, budgeting, project management and communications, FDA is the epitome of professionalism and outstanding performance.They provide the frission of exciting visual design underpinned by solid architectural engineering.  I just loved working with Kent and Margaret – they listened, understood our needs and aspirations. They created the most gorgeous building on earth and we ended up with a restaurant that renders our customers speechless with delight on entering – what better start can a new business have? To work daily in a space that you love, even fifteen years down the track, is the greatest feeling. We all love Casita Miro. – use them, you won’t regret it!’ .

HAVE A READ OF WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Our first involvement with Kent and Margaret was in the redevelopment of a large industrial building to create a bulk retail space.  Their ability to understand the fundamentals of good retail premises, and cost effectively design the transition from work-horse industrial to inviting retail, was the basis for a 20-year relationship with FDA whereby they have worked with us on a variety of projects including a rural Lodge, refreshment and relaunch of several hospitality premises, and a number of residential projects.  As a firm they are the correct size to pay close attention to clients needs, deliver high quality creative input, and provide cost effective solutions.  I’m very happy to recommend FDA, and provide a verbal reference should that be required by any prospective client.
