I engaged ZSA to take a complex addition to a property through the Development Approval process. I thought it was going to be a difficult project as we had a very small block and wanted to build boundary to boundary and had multiple council controls that needed review. My expectations were exceeded with ZSA, they are very professional and know what they are doing. I was impressed with the design and end product where we have made the most of a small area with complex controls. They drove the DA process the whole way and kept the project moving the whole time.

Upon engaging the services from Mel and Lisa my husband and I immediately felt at ease. Mels calming nature was very much a welcome amongst the chaos of organising a renovation of our entire house. She answered all of our questions and queries and was able to provide us with a range of ideas and resources or us to access to help us along the way.

I engaged Zugai Strudwick on the recommendation of a friend and a builder. Mel and the team were upfront about costs and at all times the communication was clear and prompt. Mel's calm demeanour and no nonsense approach suited me. She happily made changes and gave suggestions for improvement. She possesses excellent listening skills and helped with suggesting possible builders. I would not hesitate to recommend Zugai Strudwick Architects. The subsequent build has been without stress and her vision for the renovation has come to life.

Lisa & Mel from Strudwick Architects did an amazing design for our holiday house on Lake Macquarie - we wanted to keep the essence of the old 1950's house but bring it into this century They achieved this with simplicity on the exterior and smart layout internally , a changed entry & garage area & boat storage Also they were easy to deal with and accommodating for our many changes Now we are looking to use them for a duplex site in Newcastle
