  • "Dave provided practical and well‑considered building design solutions, maintaining strong responsiveness during the design and documentation phases"

    “We engaged Dave DeGray to design the rebuild of the ITM Building Centre in Tākaka which was destroyed by fire in 2024. The project required careful planning and a design approach to support operational efficiency and long‑term durability. Dave worked collaboratively with us and other project participants to ensure the design outcomes supported both the immediate rebuild requirements and the long‑term operational success of the ITM Tākaka business.” (Philip Woolf, Director, Tasman Bay Properties)
