Testimonials
I only had a small job but Grant approached it very professionally. He listened to my ideas, suggested good other options to consider and kept me well informed throughout the process. I found him very easy to deal with and I¹m very happy with the end result. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

We engaged Grant at RAD to provide us with some initial advice around water proofing the exterior of our home and to design a new bathroom downstairs. We quickly realised the enormity of the job we were undertaking and with some searching found a specialist company for the water proofing. RAD was able to work collaboratively with the other provider in a harmonious manner that meant we were able to trust the decision making process we entered into. When the initial tender came back outside our budget we were all able to sit around a table and work out the ‘must haves’ from the ‘nice to haves’ and come out with a scope for work that meant we were able to get what we wanted. We have been very impressed with RAD as a company to work with. They are approachable, professional and honest. What I particularly value is the care taken to walk me through various contracts so I have a clear understanding of what to expect when and what is expected of me also.We would unreservedly recommend Grant and RAD to anyone looking for architectural design work to be completed without hesitation.

We engaged Grant at RAD to draw plans and submit for Building Consent for renovations at home. Grant managed the submission to Council completely and it was approved very quickly - a sure sign of a complete application and quality work. Very easy on us - thanks Grant.

After visiting the ADNZ website (Architectural Designers New Zealand) I contracted Grant at 'Rayner Architectural Design Ltd' to do working drawings for a design I had completed of a small-house in Titahi Bay. Working with him has been a pleasure and a really great 2-way process. He has been really helpful with design-related costs / schedule-of-payments, responds quickly and is forthcoming with solutions for the project. He has also helped with recommendations for engineers and builders and I have every confidence in working with him in the future. Not only that, he's a darn good guy too!

We are enjoying living in our new home very much and appreciate the design work, including the study and the plasma screen built into the wall. We also appreciate the solution to the door onto the deck, which is working extremely well and also the positioning of the front door and porch.
​
We look forward to many years living in our new home.
