Testimonials

We engaged with Dayle Beuth and his team to take us through the concept, design, resource consent and building consent phases of our purpose built modern childcare centre for 60 children.

Throughout our dealings with them we found Lifestyle to be very professional, easy to deal with, and very knowledgeable and informative on wider childcare regulations and specific building design issues that we greatly appreciated. On top of this they coordinated developments very well with our other engineers and planners engaged on the project.

We presented Lifestyle with some concept changes in our scope during the project design phase which Dayle dealt with in a collaborative and professional manner whilst informing us of options so as to optimise our intent and goals.

We have already recommended Lifestyle to other childcare centre owners and professionals in the sector and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for sound advice, knowledge and practical expertise in childcare building projects.   

Dr Darius Singh - Director Magic Kingdom Childcare, 2010

Over the past eight months Dayle has been working on the design for my purpose built childcare centre. During this time I have found his approach to be very professional. I had been recommended Life Style Architectural Services by several people who had previous dealings with this company and Dayle himself. Both parties spoke very highly of Dayle and his experience in designing purpose built childcare centres. Dayle has not only done a fantastic job with the design but has also been a great help with the Resource Consent process.

I'm very happy with the work Dayle and his team have done for me. I have had numerous comments on the proposed concept, the functionality of the building and the stylish, yet practical design.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Life Style Architectural Services.

Initially I had some architectural plans completed by another company but after several unsuccessful attempts to lodge the plans with Waitakere city council I contacted LifeStyle Architectural Services to take over and redraw the project. Their plans and specifications were lodged with council first time and approved in 8 working days. I would recommend their services for anyone looking for a prompt seamless service.

Brendan and I would like to thank you both for your work you did for us on our plans and getting the consent processed via Council. It has been great working with you both and nice to get a final result with very little hassle.

The team at Lifestyle Architectural Services turned our design ideas into granted building and resource consents. The whole process was simple and taken in small manageable steps turning our house dreams into a structure that is stylish, functional and tailor made for us. We had wished for a house to fulfill our needs and what we got was a place that our family is proud to call home. Thanks Lifestyle Architectural Services!

New Home - Les, Kaori & Kosei Mc Grath, 2009

We contracted Lifestyle Architectural in 2008 to provide the design and working drawings up to Building Consent for a large alteration to our home incorporating changes to the kitchen, dining, bathroom and laundry.

They talked to us about what we wanted, and what our likes and dislikes were, and listened to our ideas. They presented two concepts for us to consider - both of which were good. We were able to view the proposed alteration on a 3D presentation, which was a great help to us.

Once we had made the decision on which alternative to take, the documentation was done to a very high standard, and there were no holdups obtaining Building Consent.

Although after receiving the Building Consent our contract with Lifestyle was at an end, during the building phase, we talked to them a number of times to get ideas, and for help when the builder came across something totally unexpected. They were happy to help, and provided advice, and alternatives for us to sort out the problems.

We are extremely happy with the alteration, and absolutely love the feel of the house, now that we have made these changes. The new kitchen area is a joy to work in, and is now the hub of the house. The new part fits with the old part brilliantly so that you would think the house had always been that way.

We would not hesitate to recommend Lifestyle Architectural Services to anyone wanting architectural design and plans.

The people at Lifestyle are great, their attention to detail ensures there are no hold ups once plans are lodged with council and their charges are reasonable. Their plans and documentation are clear and top quality. I have already recommended them to others and will continue to do so.

When I started by business Dayle Beuth andBertde Graaffrom Lifestyle Architectural Services came highly recommended because of the work they had done in designing Early Childhood Centres. The Knowledge they have in all aspects of Early Childhood Centres such as planning, licensing, fire, acoustics and traffic is outstanding.

LifeStyle does a good portion of the design work for our company. We mostly build larger complicated houses in the range of $500k up. Our customers are fairly demanding in terms of design and tend to want a piece of art. Dayle and Bert both have a good ability to sit with a customer, take a brief and in doing so get inside the clients head, learn exactly what the clients needs are. They then discuss budget and size with our sales people and come up with a great concept first time in most cases. The clients usually only make minor changes on working drawings, if any.

Dayle andBerthave designed both of our new show homes and these have been very demanding in terms of design guidelines from the developers of both subdivisions in Anselmi Ridge andKarakaLakes. These are high quality subdivisions and required a great deal of thought and attention to detail to come up with designs to fit within the design guidelines and pass a review panel in Australia and NewZealand and at the same time do our company justice. In both cases they came up with outstanding designs.

The level of professionalism in the way they both run their company and the great flair they put into design will hold them in good stead in any circles.

Craig Brant - Brant Homes

For many years we have been building and developing residential houses for ourselves and others. Experienced in both planning and construction we choose to project manage most of the projects ourselves. We were recommended Lifestyle Architects by a fellow developer. We engaged their serveices on a small subdivision and well havent looked back, since then we have built numerous homes from Lifestyle's plans and have now reached the point where they get all our work. The team at Lifestyle consistently prove themselves to provide fast and efficient turnarounds, quality product and prices that are very competitive. Now building upto 20 homes per year we are happy to have a reliable archtiect who knows what we want and works with us not against us.

In 2007 I contracted Lifestyle Architectural Services to design seven high quality homes for a new subdivision known as Vineyard Estate in Papakura. I worked closely with Dayle Beuth and Bert de Graaf who are the Directors of Lifestyle Architectural Services. What impressed me most about Dayle andBertwas that I only provided them with a photo of each of the houses I wanted designed. From these photos they produced design and accurate working drawings which I presented to Council for a building permit and subsequently for builders to build.  The drawings and documentation I received was excellent and at no stage did anyone have any problems at all with either the plans or documentation.  I would highly recommend Lifestyle Architectural Services to anybody wishing to design and build a new home or for any project both small or large. Dayle andBertare not only very competent at their job they are also a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to use them for all my future work.

Tony Erceg - Vineyard Estate

We employed LifeStyle Architectural Services to design our home in 2004. We feel they have interpreted our brief well and kept us informed and involved throughout the design process. We have now lived in our home for just over a year and we are very pleased with the end result.

Further more, I would recommend LifeStyle Architectural Services to friends and family who may be contemplating building.

Not having needed the services of an architectural designer before, it was a search through the internet that had me come across Lifestyle Architectural Services Ltd.  After a few emails and a phone call I was impressed by the information and professional service I received, particularly when the job I needed done was only a simple set of "As Built" drawings.  The team at Lifestyle accommodated our needs by arranging the on site measure quickly, before our tenants moved into the house and within a week we had the drawings in hard and soft copy.  Everyone we have dealt with at Lifestyle Architectural Services has been professional and helpful.  We are now happy to be working with them again on a new project.
