About Us

The kitchen is fantastic! The design works perfectly. and loving our front door! The bathrooms are fantastic!, and so lush having a bath now. The separate laundry - another win, that was a terrific last minute add on, and the doors opening on each other in that entrance way which was a concern of mine, is no deal at all. So glad we shrank the pantry for that storage! as the storage is great, and the pantry is still huge!! Thank you again for your hardwork! Catch up soon.

We hold Bernard in the highest regards with his integrity, honesty and professionalism and have personally recommended his services to several of our friends. Throughout the build, Bernard was always available and approachable with our ideas and questions. Right from the outset, Bernard showed an extensive knowledge of the current Building Codes and Regulations and an excellent display or good design criteria. We found Bernard to be a credit to himself and his industry at all times.

It gives us great pleasure to record this testimonial to Bernard Wood of Kiwicad Architectural Design Ltd. Bernard provided superb service and listened to what we wanted to achieve with our new home. He provided us with fantastic design advice and practical design options. We found Bernard easy to work with and he provided constructive input which resulted in many positive changes to our house design from its initial beginnings. We found the design process very enjoyable and stress free. Bernard's work is of extremely high quality and we fully recommend Bernard to any person wanting any residential architectural design requirements.

I contacted Bernard for my extensive house reno with extension as I wanted a smaller hands on firm with that personal one on one service. I knew what I wanted. This was a owner driven project sorting out trades required, not a large firm telling me what they were going to do. Bernard listened and delivered and assisted further by suggesting options for a warmer, healthier home. From resource consent to extensive house plans Bernard has been stress free with a large range of contracts to assist with any requirements. Bernard is always easy to contact and assist.

I continue to use Kiwicad because Bernie not only provides the required service but he will identify potential problems and supply solutions to me including issues outside his normal brief. He is always available even outside business hours. This level of engagement is uncommon in my experience but it demonstrates his commitment to his client. Some of the projects have been very complex however Bernie has completed them to brief and on time.

Bernard Wood has been a pleasure to deal with, providing great advice, fast efficient thorough services and offering support throughout the build process. During the build process Bernard was available to chat with our builders and discuss any issues they were having. The plan was easy to follow and very well designed, crossing off all the council requirements in our building consent. Bernard was well priced and delivered a high quality service. We recommend Bernard to our friends and clients when they need a competent Architect and we have no problem standing by his work.

My Dream Home Was Completed In Six Months! My requirements were for a designer who I could trust along with expertise and advice, suggestions, and assistance in decision making. Above all I wanted the project to come in on budget and time. We were shown computer models of the house during the design stage, which really helped us ‘see’ what it would look like. The kitchen and bathrooms worked out exactly what we thought! Bernard and his team were always approachable, great communicators and even arranged a builder. It was amazing that my dream home was completed in six months. Thank you Bernard and your team.

We Have A Lovely Property For Our Family! We certainly enjoyed working with Bernard and his team at kiwicad and would use them again. They took an active interest in our project and I like that. You get what you pay for and we were happy using kiwicad who achieved good results for us. We have a lovely property for our family to enjoy living in a nice environment.

Kiwicad has done a superb job. Our home gives the appearance of being very spacious despite it being a relatively small sized home.

Now Settled In To New Zealand From England... Thank you for the lovely home you have designed for us. We have now settled in to New Zeland from England and visitors without exception have been most generous in their praise.

On such a difficult site you have created a home that is spacious and generous. The end result has exceeded our expectations. After living here for nine months, there is absolutely nothing we would change.

Fantastic! We love our new kitchen and 2 bedroom addition. We just cant believe the difference. It looks as if it has been there for quite some time. We have added happiness to daily life by living in a house that functions exactly as planned – love it. (And the 2 boys now have their own rooms!)

They Listened To Our Wants And Needs! We had a set budget and wanted a warm sunny north facing home with views of the mountain, while being sheltered from the wind as much as possible. Bernard listened to our wants and needs and was easy to work with. We have ended up with a home we love and have no hesitation in recommending kiwicad design to further clients.

We enjoyed the experience of working with kiwicad design. We have built several homes before, (not all with warm fuzzys) so we did a bit more delving into things this time round. It is a pleasure to know that there are still good people in the industry. Well done keep up the good work.

Someone prepared to listen to us, happy to work through alternatives and come up with practical advice, enabling us to achieve our vision within our ideal budget! We have no hesitation in recommending his services – someone who listens, follows through and works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly. Absolutely delighted with renovation!

We approached kiwicad design with the view to design a rural home for our early retirement. We had a set budget and wanted a warm sunny north facing home with views of the mountain, while being sheltered from the wind as much as possible. Bernard listened to our wants and needs and was easy to work with. We have ended up with a home we love and have no hesitation in recommending Kiwicad Design to further clients.

I approached kiwicad design in October 2008 to build my home. My requirements were for a designer who I could trust along with expertise and advice, suggestions, and assistance in decision making. Above all I wanted the project to come in on budget and time. We were shown computer models of the house during the design stage, which really helped us 'see' what it would look like. The kitchen and bathrooms worked out exactly what we thought!. Bernard and his team were always approachable, great communicators and even arranged a builder. Double glazed windows, heat pump hot water, and the extra insulation along with a North facing placement has resulted in a very warm home. It was amazing that my dream home was completed in six months. Thank you Bernard and your team.

Used local sub-contractors with high standards. We achieved a finished project with better than expected results. The views were maximised, design that had achieved everything we wanted, with amazing road appeal, the team worked well and met all time frames and were great to work with
