Client Reviews

“We had the pleasure of choosing the polished professionals at JMAC to design our beautiful home and would recommend their services to anyone looking to partner with a company that really knows their stuff.

From day one it was a collaborative process; JMAC matched our lifestyle and long list of needs to the design and brought a level of sophistication and fresh ideas that made the finished product so much more than we could’ve ever imagined. This collaboration extended to the great relationship they built with our builder, and together these small interactions coupled with JMAC’s advice and willingness to work together ensured our build was nothing short of a dream.”

Fiona & Jason Smith

"We found Jason to be positive and professional with great design ideas. From the beginning he actually listened, returned our calls and nothing was too much trouble. He worked closely with the Builder and the Engineer to iron out any issues. The project came in on budget and he was very aware of time frames and the flow on effect these can have. He has good relationships with Council which is critical.If you are looking for an Architect who is organised, friendly and loves what he does, Jason is the one!"

Anderson Family

"From the minute we met with Jason, we were put at ease by his friendly, relaxed but professional manner. He shared our vision for our new home and we loved his passion for our project. We especially appreciated the fact that he would point out any design areas that we could improve on and listened carefully to what we had to say. So thank you Jason for designing us such an amazing home; we love every aspect of it! We have now lived in the home for 6 months and can honestly say there is nothing in the design that we would alter."

Andrew and Belinda Greville

“We were looking for a designer who had flair and skill, but also the ability to meet our meticulous expectations. A designer who would provide sound advice and be honest and real about our project. Someone who would work as a team with our builder, and would take a genuine interest in our vision, not overriding it with their own.

“Jason is all of those qualities and more. He’s hands on and involved, and the detail within his plans ensured the build process ran smoothly. Jason took the time to make small yet important changes until we felt we had the concept just right, accommodating our needs at a time when facilitating various contractors can be stressful in order to get a job done on time. We’d build with him again in a heartbeat as we thoroughly enjoyed the experience.”
