Customer Testimonials

Peter has designed the vast majority of homes we have built for the last fifteen years. His cheerful personality makes our clients feel at ease, he is able to incorporate their wishes and budget to the best possible design for them. Prior to commencing a design, he takes the time to visit the site to allow for any special view which the design can be orientated towards. Peter organises the first sketch very quickly, which is great, as once a decision has been made to build, most people want to keep the ball rolling.

Peter’s plans are easy to read and our clients do not require a degree to be able to follow the layout, as some designers can be quite complex and too difficult for someone not involved in the building industry. Therefore our clients know what their home will look like before construction begins.

We attribute part of our success as a building company to the work Peter does for us and our clients, he is definitely the designer we refer our clients to if they are unsure of who to contact to get their plans drawn.

"We have used Peter for a number of our building projects over the last few years and always found him to be courteous and willing to discuss or plans and make suitable suggestions for improvements. He has been quick and efficient in dealing with our requests and where changes or more information has been required by Council he has addressed the matters without delay.

We will continue to use him for our future requirements and are happy to recommend his services to others.”

“I would like to express my thanks for all your help, advice and care during the process of designing my new home. Being a complete novice I needed your guidance and willingness to listen and incorporate my ideas into a workable plan that I am very proud & happy with. The speed with which you put the Consent plans together and the help you gave made this experience so effortless for me. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone I know wanting to build. Again, please accept my sincere thanks and appreciation".

“Peter worked really well for us. We had our design already thought out, but Peter suggested changes and improvements which added to the whole feel of the house. No matter how many small changes we made, Peter was always obliging and did everything we asked without any hassle. He helped us fit our English ideas into NZ standards, we came up with a great finished product that sailed through council without issues. Many thanks.”

“I have dealt with Peter on a couple of occasions and have been very happy with the results of his work. He has always been very approachable and easy to communicate with”.

“Peter has worked with us on two new houses with great results. The second time we came to him with no more than an idea we had, which he turned into something we both liked very quickly. Peters ability to listen to our ideas and expectations make him a pleasure to work with”

“As a developer I have worked with Peter on a number of projects from spec homes to apartment buildings and recently my own home. He listens to my ideas, while incorporating technical requirements along with his own input and then produces accurate working drawings on time. This has meant the finished product always works well and looks good. He has great vision for site layout, including vehicle manoeuvring and services, coupled with an excellent understanding of the building code and Council rules means a project can run smoothly and on time”

“We approached Roughan Design to put together a plan for our proposed new house. Very basic directions as to our requirements were given to Peter. He promptly forwarded a plan to us which basically met our requirements beside a little fine tuning. Our house is now approaching completion, along the way further minor adjustments have also been made. Peter has always been very obliging and more importantly he has been very prompt. We are very pleased with the way our house is shaping, much of the credit goes to Peter”.

“Peter turned our basic ideas into workable plans with the technical details required. We really appreciate his prompt attention to our project and the inevitable adjustments. We can recommend Peter to anybody without hesitation”.

“Peter has designed two homes for us. He listened to our wish List and incorporated all that we wanted in our home. Nothing was too much trouble and altering and updating the plan was done quickly and efficiently. The working relationship between Peter and Hassall Homes made the building process so smooth and enjoyable. There was nothing ‘wrong’ with our first home - we just found a section with irresistible views and location. As our previous design and build experience was so smooth, we went straight to Peter & Rodger. We are very excited about the great plan Peter prepared for our new home and can’t to move in”.
