What Our Clients Say…
“When we embarked on our passive house development with eHaus we opted for an architectural designer who could interpret our dreams and wishes into a tangible form that met the standard of passive design we wished for, rather than a full architectural approach. From the start Ross Bennett related well with us both in his manner, experience, and the ability to suggest some aspects that would enhance the project. We are semi-retired and Ross proved to be a fountain of knowledge about Lifemark standards.
Ross developed the concept within the agreed timeframes and costs. The engineering development entailed him getting to grips with several new materials and installation methods and the whole project was passed by our local council with no delays. Our final passive house will also be a tribute to him. Thank you Ross.”
ROBIN & MAUREEN – KAPITI COAST
“Working with Ross on the design of our new home was an absolute pleasure. We gained the impression very early that Ross was a person that did more listening than talking. It was clear that he developed a very good understanding of what we wanted, both in layout and aesthetics.
He quickly produced a concept that matched our lifestyle and extracted maximum benefit from a unique yet somewhat challenging site. We were impressed with the speed in which Ross worked through the design process and how he responded to queries and suggestions. His practical common-sense approach provided both cost savings during construction and time savings for our builder.
We are delighted with our home. Not only does it perform to the highest Passivhaus level but it is also very beautiful to live in and to look at.”
RICHARD & MARYANNE – HAVELOCK NORTH
“We have worked with Ross on countless home-building projects over the past 20 years, so am delighted to be able to pass on a testimonial for Ross from Sketch Project Ltd.
Working with Ross is a true partnership โ the open lines of communication and running of ideas, has worked incredibly well for us.
We have always had great faith in Ross ensuring all the specification details and compliance requirements are met โand over our long-standing relationship โthose specs have changed significantly, so it has been paramount to know that everything has been qualified in relation to the ever-evolving standards.
Thank you Ross, you come highly recommended by us.”
