Bowman Design Limited

Mike is a very approachable and friendly professional, and I have found him, always willing to work with the customer to deliver a solution that satisfies. This has proven very beneficial when we have had to request radical changes to the design or engineering, due to considerations of budget or to meet council requirements. He is very skilled in draughting and will provide visual drawings quickly, so you can see your ideas taking shape. He is very good at adding value, by recommending alternate solutions and guiding the customer through the consent processes. He is a good listener and understands the need of the customer when drawing up the design. Highly recommend him for all jobs big developments to small dwellings to renovations.

I live in Auckland. I had a great experience with Bowman Design Ltd. Mike is a friendly, efficient architect, and offered the most helpful service. His design is amazing and at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him.

Mike has been such a pleasure to work with, he has gone over and above for our building renovation at home, would highly recommend him! You can trust he will deliver beyond your expectations, we are so happy we used Mike - Bowman Designs, we recommend him to everyone we can!

Michael at Bowman Design has been fantastic to work with. He is extreamly knowledgeable and professional, and has supported us through the council process to get our project sorted and on time. Went above and beyond our expectations and I highly recommend him and will use his services in future.

We employed Mike to design a new Deck. He was very helpful with ideas and designed a structure that made the most of the available space, on a difficult site. Mike assisted with Council and his design went through the Council process without any issues. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike to anyone that requires a quality design at a reasonable cost. Mike also helped us find a Quality Builder who also thought highly of Bowman design for the quality of his work and easy to follow plans. We would have no hesitation using Bowman Design again in the future.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael to anyone looking for architectural services. I approached Michael, we discussed the reclad brief and times frames we can work to. Plans were ready to present to Council on time. Any further information requested by council was addressed to ASAP. Along the build process Michael was always available to discuss and details we had questions over. Thanks again, Mike Dahlberg

We engaged Mike Bowman (Bowman Design Limited) to help us create more space without increasing the overall footprint by much at our cross-leased property in Mt Eden. A difficult task, but Mike was able to come up with some great ideas to help us achieve what we wanted. By swapping the kitchen over with the dining room and repositioning the stairs and entrance, Mike designed a new interior floorplan that changed how our whole house flowed. He has also managed to maximise the space well and utilise every nook and cranny. It has made a huge difference to the functionality of the house and means we can stay put in the central city for a lot longer than we expected. Mike's very professional, thoughtful and good to work with. He goes the extra mile to make sure the job is done.

Great guy, good work, flexible and friendly, very good on computer graphics and technically proficient Definitely recommended for jobs house or retail.

Mike Bowman used his extensive Autocad capabilities to turn our rough designs into a workable reality, gaining building consent with no issues. His input added original features and we are still thanking him over a year later, as we look out from the balcony "cut-out". We recommend him as a capable, flexible and friendly draftsman. Cheers- Jill & Michael Cahill

We were looking to renovate and extend a granny flat addition in our 1960’s home. A family member referred us to Mike Bowman as she had found him to be honest, hard working and he had done a great job on their home renovation. After our first meeting with Mike we came away with absolute confidence that he understood what we were looking to create. Mike worked with us to develop the initial design over a couple of sessions and met with us again to walk us through his detailed design. Mike managed to recreate the architectural style and features of our existing home in the new extension. Mike also helped us with the council submission and associated paperwork. The project hit a snag early on when the excavation work discovered that our foundations would need to be redesigned. Mike patiently waited in order to redraft the drawings to support our amendment to council for approval. Mike was able to provide advice when we ran into issues with Watercare and he went beyond the call of duty on a number of occasions. We would recommend Mike (and have done so) to anyone who is looking for a reliable designer with great people skills. Andy and Jo Worrall

This job was for a renovation on a Victorian villa. We needed an elevated deck integrated into the design as well as converting the downstairs basement area into an ensuite. The design team were very sensitive to our requirements and also the architectural integrity of the villa. I had excellent service from this company and would not hesitate in using them again. They were very professional in all respects. Many thanks.
