Save Money and Increase Comfort

My experience with House Design Solutions has been amazing. After dealing with so many other drafting companies who were unprofessional and costly without delivering I came across an online review that sung the praises of Paul Mete. Every word has proven to be 100% accurate. Paul has been incredible from his professionalism to his personal caring attitude. My house design is very unusual but that has not stopped him from providing above and beyond helpful advice and assistance to achieve the results I wanted. He certainly puts the client first in all instances and always meets his commitments (very rare these days for others in the industry).

I have already recommended him to others seeking a draftsman and will continue to do so in future.

When my husband and I were in the early stages of planning our dream home, we had the great fortune to be introduced to Paul Mete of House Design Solutions. At our initial meeting, we immediately found Paul to be knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely passionate about the work he does, and equally excited about our ideas. We discussed various options suitable to our land, accounting for factors such as north-facing orientation, energy efficiency and aesthetic balance that was true to our preferred building style. Paul provided us with a beautiful design that was reflective of our specific needs and perfectly suited to both our style and the complexities of our land. Even when we had to modify the design (due to external factors), Paul again delivered another design, equally suitable and one which we really love.

During the entire design process, Paul listened carefully to our needs, displaying respect and courtesy to both of us. As a female, and dealing in the male-dominated construction industry, I found this attitude rare, although very much appreciated. Selecting the right designer to bring your ideas and dreams to fruition is an important step in achieving a successful project outcome, and we are so pleased with the decision we made to engage Paul.

We unequivocally recommend the services of House Design Solutions for all of your design drawing requirements, for your next residential or commercial project.

I consider it a pleasure to write Paul a testimony based on my experience of his professional service so that others can reference and benefit too.

When I was researching for a good designer on a web forum, Paul was mentioned there especially for his specialty on the use of natural light. We would like our extension to be practical to meet incoming dependent family members’ needs (two seniors and one with disability) and be filled with light and Paul was just the right fit. So I contacted Paul. Paul visited us and listened for our needs and also asked us questions we had not thought of but should have. Within his given time frame, Paul came back to us with first draft of very functional design. With some more improvement, the drawings were finalized. Our extension is now basically completed and everybody enjoys living in it.

Paul has been very warm and patient since the first phone call of my enquiry and throughout. I greatly appreciate it because English is my second language. He has our best interest in heart and is mindful of the budget.  He is very trustworthy and had given us a lot of helpful advice to smooth out potential obstacles, to prepare the inclusion list and get competitive quotes from builders. I have no reservation in recommending Paul.

我很乐意根据我领受到的专业服务为Paul写推荐，以便其他人可以参考和受益。 当我在一个网络论坛上考查寻找一个好的设计师时，论坛上特别提到Paul及他利用自然光的专长。我们希望我们的扩建可以满足即将搬来一起住的家庭成员（两个老人和一个残疾人）的需要并且宽敞明亮而Paul看来正是恰当人选，所以我联系了Paul。Paul上门访问我们，听取我们的需要，也问我们好些没有想到但应该要考虑的问题。在他给定的时间框架内，Paul设计完成了第一稿。随后有一些更多的改进，绘图完成。我们的扩建现在基本上完成，每个人都住得很满意。 从我的第一个咨询电话到整个过程， Paul一直非常温暖和耐心，对此我非常感谢，尤其因为英语是我的第二语言。他为客户的利益着想，注意预算。他非常值得信赖，在消除潜在的障碍，准备细节清单，及从建筑建设商那里得到有竞争力的报价的事项上为我们提供了许多有用的建议。我毫无保留地推荐Paul。

Paul did the design and plans for our home extension and it couldn't have been easier! Fantastic to deal with and he listened to what we wanted as an end result. We ended up with what we wanted and more! Thanks Paul.

We would highly recommend House Design Solutions. Paul was introduced to us by friends who also had a very positive experience. We found Paul to be professional, passionate, very knowledgeable & friendly. Paul took particular care in listening to our needs. He came up with a beautiful design that perfectly meets our needs.

Paul was fantastic in dealing with drawings for a new 2 story build in inner Melbourne. He worked seamlessly across the team of engineers, surveyors and energy consultants, and was extremely proactive - Following up and chasing down issues to get the drawings out as quickly as possible. The drawings were high quality and he went above and beyond to make sure that the detail was there, and reflective of what we were looking for. On a personal note - Paul was great to deal with and a very friendly guy. Highly recommended, and I'd be happy to referee any of his work for any potential customers - Feel free to contact Paul for my details.

It has been great working with Paul to design the extension of my home. As a complete novice to home renovation, Paul's honest and friendly manner was invaluable in guiding me and making the whole process stress-free and easy. He delivered a sensible design which reflected my budget but still delivered everything I wanted, was sustainable and looked great. He worked hard to ensure the final design would make the planning permit approval as smooth as possible and worked with the council and my neighbours to ease any concerns they had. Paul is a professional and knowledgeable home designer and I would recommend him for any home project.

I have no hesitation in recommending Paul Mete and House Design Solutions to anyone looking to design their new home. We have worked with Paul to design a bespoke extension which takes into consideration our family needs and site challenges, and we are very happy with the whole process and design output, as we now seek to appoint a builder for our project. It was clear when we initially discussed what we wanted from our build, that Paul was truly listening to us, had an unbiased approach to solving problems, and is always conscious of the cost to the client. This was proven time and again throughout the design and site investigation process, which is why we chose to work with Paul after initially seeking preliminary designs from 2 designers. Paul is generous with his time in guiding you through this vital part of the renovation process (and answering my numerous questions), is knowledgeable and professional and has access to a great network of other professionals needed along the way. We’ve really enjoyed this part of the reno process and have learned a lot, thanks!
