h****5 (9 Thursday, 10 December 2020 )I would HIGHLY recommend Zayd. Two independent people that are involved in estate business recommended him to be. He is extremely clear with communication (as terminology and process was new to me), expedited the job through council for a large deck off 1st floor, so helpful and informative, went above and beyond my expectations! Will definitely be in touch for any future work I need. Thanks
b*******7 (2 Wednesday, 9 December 2020 )Zayd is by far the best Architect I have dealt with. Very professional and get the work done and always thinks outside the box. He designed a minor dwelling for me in Napier and dealt with the council and builder, and everything was very smooth. If you are looking for someone that can get the job done, Zayd is your man. I highly recommend his services.
m*s (769 Friday, 27 November 2020 )Zayd is the man!! I highly recommend him for any project big or small. He took our project on and delivered on time even though he was stretched and busy at the time. He is super easy to deal with, didn't mind doing minor variations when needed and did them straight away. We are very happy with how it turned out.
s* (290 Sunday, 22 November 2020 )I would highly recommend Zayd. He has gone above and beyond the call of duty when we enlisted his services for our re-cladding work. He held our hands through the entire process and helped us when we were dealing with difficult builders. He has remained professional throughout all our interactions, providing us with all viable options and taking the time to explain each of them thoroughly in a way we understood. I would not hesitate in recommend Zayd to family and friends!
g***y (96 Tuesday, 10 November 2020 )We would highly recommend Zayd based on our dealings and great experience we had with our recladding work. Throughout the process he has shown utmost professionalism and dedication with designing, planning and ongoing support with variations and guidance. Nothing is too much trouble for Zayd. He has gone out of the way to support us during the process.. Since we have recommended Zayd to many of our friends and colleagues with high level of confidence that he would deliver amazing service.
j******i (14 Thursday, 29 October 2020 )I would highly recommend Zayd for any draughtsman work required. Our was quite a difficult job in get resource and building consent for a double garage on the front of our property. Zayd came up with great ideas and ways around in challenging the Auckland Council when they made things difficult. At one point we were almost refused consent..... but he managed to work wonders to persuade them to think' outside the square' I thank him very much for his assistance and a great plans done for garage
m*e (306 Thursday, 28 November 2019 )I would recommend Zayd above and beyond any draugstsman I've ever met. He worked on our renovation of a 100 year old villa. From beginning to end he was professional, friendly and swift. Any questions I had after building consent were answered with care. Our renovation wasn't easy but we achieved consent in only a few weeks. I look forward to working with him again.
t*****2 (77 Tuesday, 12 June 2018 )Not only is Zayd a thorough and competent designer, but almost as important, he is a pleasure to work with. He grasps the essentials of a project quickly, allowing him to solve problems and offer suggestions that in the end are crucial to the overall success. I have no hesitation in recommending myUmbrella.Network for similar projects, and wish Zayd and the rest of the team the very best. Tim Dwyer, June 2018
l******1 (93 Wednesday, 2 May 2018 )We contacted Zayd after being recommended his services. Our existing draftsman couldn't be contacted and we had a short deadline to submit plans. Zayd came to the rescue without batting an eyelid and got everything sorted. His work and service is fantastic. Highly recommended! Shane
k*******7 (490 Tuesday, 1 May 2018 )From Brightwood Homes - www.brightwoodhomes.co.nz . Zayd worked on several project with us, completing all of the documentation from concept through to the building consent and resource consent, liaising with other consultants as required to get things moving. Highly recommended for his professionalism and timely delivery, designs were always great and drawings were easy to read, good level of details and well thought out plans. We are looking forward to future work on new projects.

r********1 (74 Saturday, 29 October 2016 )Used Zayd's services to obtain a resource consent for a new subdivision in West Auckland. I can say that Zayd had managed the process as it's his own.

Further discussions and several changes later he prepared the final set of drawings for obtaining Consent with all necessary inputs.

He is very professional in his work and has a good working knowledge of Council requirements and the various practical solutions.
