This is our first build project and we are delighted with how it has turned out.' Caroline and I are extremely impressed with the innovative plans you have produced.

Very possibly the best Architect on the Island of Ireland. Paul and Scott designed our house in 2016. When given the brief they presented us with plans a few weeks later, they had everything we asked for spot-on and then some more. Their attention to detail was phenomenal. Having scoured the internet and researched architects (*including some of the most well known and expensive in NI) Paul McAlister was our choice.

The reason we chose Paul was that from reading his story/biography he seemed passionate about architecture and it was a choice for him to follow this route or fine art, it was a no brainer for us that someone with such passion would design our house. From start to finish were not disappointed. It's now 2019 and we wouldn't change a thing about our house. Thank you so much guys and the very best for the future. - Ray O'Connor, New dwelling, Comber, Co. Down.

I can't recommend this company highly enough if you are thinking of building your own house. They have guided me through, what is often considered the most stressful thing you will ever do, with little fuss and limited stress. The team are the most pleasant upbeat guys you could meet. Always there to answer questions, be that during the working day or after hours at night, when something pops into you head that you need answered. Paul McAlister and Scott Montgomery, were the two men I was most involved with throughout my new build and I have nothing but praise for the both of them. Thankyou all so much. I could never have got through this without you.x
