Licensed Building Practitioner
We have no hesitation in recommending Sally. When we were designing our house we had very clear views about how we wanted the floor plan to be so that it worked for our needs. Sally worked collaboratively with us to achieve this. At no point did we feel we weren’t listened to and she was excellent at pointing out possible problems and providing solutions. She managed despite all the various council rules, building codes and section constraints to design us the affordable, warm and quiet retirement home we had desired.
We are very happy that we found Sally Turnbull. She has the wonderful capacity of listening to and understanding the client's goals and wishes and translating that into designs that meet their expectations.
Through all 3 phases of the important extension and renovation of this wonderful homestead, we have worked together with her in a very professional and relaxed way.
Sally was recommended to us by relatives building a new home. In our initial discussions, she took the time to find out what was important to us. She was always helpful in providing great ideas and had a good knowledge of different building materials and options. Having all our plans completed and decisions on materials finalised prior to the commencement of the build made for a very straight forward and enjoyable building experience.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sally Turnbull for any building projects. Sally has always been professional in all aspects, from design to product knowledge. Through my building business I have had Sally design houses from Mud Block to high end architectural, and in all circumstances the process from start to finish has been smooth and seamless. I will definitely use Sally in the future.

Thank you Sally.
From her initial visit right through to the issue of consent Sally from Architectural Draughting & Design Ltd has been thoroughly professional, on time and on budget with her work for me in re designing and adding onto an existing home in Hanmer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sally to anyone looking at Building their new home or renovating an existing home.
Sally Turnbull is knowledgeable, super efficient and very personable, we have loved working with her and her results speak for themselves. We could not recommend her highly enough or be more thrilled with the work she has done on our behalf. We will be calling you to celebrate with us when the work is complete.

Sally Turnbull prepared the plans for our amazing home in consultation with us, taking in all our ideas and then putting them down on paper, plus adding her own professional ideas to make everything work. Sally helped us through the consenting process and in conjunction with our wonderful builder we now live in our welcoming and comfortable home making use of all the aspects of the site. We are very happy here. Thanks Sally
Working with Sally on our renovation design has been a great experience. From our first meeting, holding a scrap book of photos and ideas in our heads (and worrying if we could brief her clearly) Sally quickly understood what we were looking to achieve. From the first concept drawings we knew that we had chosen the right architect for us. With high aspirations but limited budget, Sally’s flair, creativity and attention to detail has been invaluable in our journey to final drawings. If you’re looking for an extremely professional, approachable and innovative architectural designer we’d have no hesitation recommending Sally.
We went to Sally with some ideas of what we wanted and Sally was able to co-ordinate all these into our plans. Her patience was appreciated while we navigated the vast choice of building materials and the District Council requirements and Building Codes. We are really happy with our house.
Sally designed plans for our renovation and extension last year. We found her professional, flexible and knowledgeable. She took the stress out from the Council permit stage for us, and provided us with on-going updates. The renovation result looks fantastic and has had many positive comments from people who have seen the before and after. I would highly recommend Sally to anyone considering using her services.
