An Architect is the creative person that you need.........We are trained to think outside of the box and to give our clients the dreams that they could not envision on their own. We are also trained to design and present winning presentations for city review approvals...... Of course, not all architects are equal so you might have to shop around a bit for the one that you like best. Look at their portfolio of projects........Call their references and see that their clients loved working with them. You can ask as many as you want for proposals.... Most architects will meet with you and write a proposal, without charging for that time. I am sure that you will be happy........

Wellington , Palmerston North and other mid to lower north Island areas, we have some new 600 x 600 porcelain tiles just in, Terrazzo tiles is a highly popular and trending tile going into a number of new builds at the moment. Look at our price, find a cheaper tile, broadly advertised in the lower north and we will pay you. But does cheap mean cheap quality; simply, No. Look across in Australia what our neighbors are paying www.tfo.com.au, and you will see you can pay often half of what you are paying your current supplier. Compare our prices with your current supplier, www.tileoutletnz.co.nz . We would be delighted to cooperate with you on your next project.

I have never bought window coverings before and need help on where and what to buy. I have a modern style and value light coming through and a little privacy. I like the idea of roller blinds or those blinds that open from the top and bottom in the living area. And then doing blackout shades in the bedroom. Where would you recommend getting blinds that are reasonably priced? Has anyone had experience with Lowe’s, ikea or blinds.com?

Hi, We were meant to have a deck built from Kwila but the builder has used Garapa instead. He said it is better than kwila because it doesn't bleed. Is this true? Is Garapa better or comparable to kwila? I've never heard of Garapa wood. Or is builder trying to get away with not using kwila (as kwila is what was priced in our contract). Appreciate your advice. Thanks
