Joel - Bryant Built
“I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend CNA Design Studio for your consideration in any upcoming projects. I have been working closely with CNA Design Studio for the past 12 months and have found them to be one of the best teams of architects I have worked with throughout my career in construction.
As the owner of a small building company with over 18 years of experience, including 10 years working on large and complex mixed-use projects valued up to $300 million under the Design & Building Practitioner Act, I have collaborated with some of the largest and most reputable architecture firms across Newcastle and Sydney. Without hesitation, I can say that CNA has left a lasting impression.
What truly sets CNA apart is their commitment to understanding the needs of all stakeholders. They genuinely care about project outcomes, consistently demonstrating their dedication to quality and collaboration.”

“The CNA team provided an excellent service from start to finish. They were able to maximize the efficiencies and practicality of the design to keep it within budget without detracting from the design intent. Communication was great throughout and nothing was a problem. Overall was great experience.”

“As an experienced builder who has worked with many good architects over the years, I’ve been particularly impressed with CNA Design Studio. We’ve recently collaborated on several projects, and I’ve found the entire team to be excellent to work with. Their knowledge and understanding of project requirements are outstanding, and they consistently work toward achieving the best possible outcomes.
Their documentation is clear and thorough, and their collaborative approach with the builder is second to none in my experience. I can honestly and highly recommend CNA Design Studio for anyone seeking professional, end-to-end architectural services.”

“Without Candice Andrews and Nick Halliday of CNA Design Studio our Class 2 multi-residential building and renovation project on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales would not have happened.
CNA were engaged, post DA approval, to supervise the tendering and construction phases of the project. As a result of more recent changes to Class 2 building regulations we were confronted by a couple of significant obstacles to achieving our desired outcomes. Nick’s professional experience and expertise as a Design Practitioner successfully navigated us through them so that the project could proceed to the construction stage.
During the building works Candice and Nick combined to very effectively supervise the building process. Candice and her associate Jess also developed the interior design and guided its installation so that it all attunes beautifully to the coastal location of the property. The result has been very much admired by family, friends and passersby.
Candice and Nick’s collaborative style and that of the builder, Bryant Built Pty Ltd, combined to produce a result that was way beyond our expectations and delivered to a very high standard.
Together Candice and Nick offer their clients a very impressive and holistic architectural, construction and interior design skill set. We would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to embark on the challenge of building or renovating.”
Janice
“The building I manage required a Design Practitioner for the retiling of their pool area. I contacted Nick Halliday from CNA Design Studio who attended site on numerous occasions. Nick met with the Committee members and explained and answered their questions and concerns about the requirements of having a Design Practitioner involved. He certainly knows his work and is very committed.
Their fee proposal was set out in step-by-step stages with the costs of each one, so we knew exactly what we were paying for which was important. Their SOW was straightforward and easy to understand and their reports were very detailed.
Nick was absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful and I would recommend CNA Design Studio to anyone needing a Design Practitioner. I would certainly not hesitate to use this company again when required.”
