I worked from 2018 to 2024 as an Architectural Technician for a Wellington city architectural practice. I am passionate about CAD as well as architectural design and enjoy working in the architectural industry.  

My passion and enjoyment for CAD inspired my business idea -

“why can’t Clients participate in the creative process by working with digital models?”

About business owner/ founder - Paul Harvey

HOUSE RENOVATION:
"We chose Paul because we had some reservations about renovation designs, proposed to us by an architecture firm and were finding it tricky to know how to explore the alternatives. While the software did take us some time to get used to, it was indispensable in allowing us to mock up our ideas and really consider the pros and cons of each in our own time, minimising the back-and-forth with our busy architect. The overall process was really empowering. We feel we have come to the best possible designs for our home, which without Paul's help would certainly have been a more costly and time-consuming process." - Ruth & Nathan

CAFE FITOUT:
"From start to finish, the experience was fantastic! Paul was a pleasure to work with. Flexible, responsive, and always quick to communicate. The in-person tutorial was incredibly insightful, and he went above and beyond by preloading all the necessary objects and items into the software, which made it easy to explore and play around with the layout of the space. Amazing work, Paul! Highly recommend." - Kyle
