I would highly recommend Ger to anyone that is looking for plans drawn up for their forever home. He listens to what you want and incorporates it into the drawing on the house, his professionalism and honestly I have never seen before, and his detail to perfection makes him stands out from the rest. Even up the last minute before sending in your application to be processed he had no problem changing one or 2 things without any hassle or fuss. Without a doubt a true professional.

Ger did a brilliant job for us throughout a long period to design and get planning permission for our new home. He gave us great design advice and was very knowledgeable. Dealing with the council was difficult and stressful but Ger had all the answers and guided us through it all promptly. Top class operator! Dermot, Galway.

We engaged Ger to get us planning permission for our new house. It was a dream from start to finish with Ger taking our initial design and bringing it to reality. He was really hands on and had many great ideas to enhance our home. He looked after the whole process from helping with percolation test to lodging our planning application. Ger’s attention to detail and attentiveness to our plans were very reassuring and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking at designing a house. I give top marks to a top man.

Ger didnt finish the job and was more interested in getting money that completing the job. After he was paid full amount he then ensured me plans were sent but i never received, 3 months later he said they were in outbox and sent but without an apology. Very disappointed with work and had to look elsewhere to get completed.
