“I’ve worked with William and the Taylored team on a wide variety of projects: industrial new builds, commercial renovations and extensions, beach house concepts, along with more recently, an extensive residential rebuild. Whilst the end result of Taylored’s commitment to great design and hard work is always something to be proud of, it is the process, the journey, that we find most enjoyable. Considering the context, creating the brief, sharing the knowledge and feeling a part of the actual outcome. That is where the fun is and where real value is added. The depth of knowledge the team demonstrates, outside of the typical design parameters, is what we find so valuable. Planning considerations, council, funding options, potential returns, sales targets, buildability, products and how long things might take, are all part of the package when you work with the Taylored crew. Taylored are certainly my go-to for all of our design and related requirements and personally, I recommend William and his team very highly.”
