Our Services
Project Feasibility
Ensure your project is viable before you begin. We evaluate your site, costs, and regulations—helping you make better-informed decisions earlier.
Design Development & Planning
We refine your vision into a fully detailed design, ensuring it meets regulations, budget, and functionality—guiding you through the process and handling planning if required.
Detail Design & Tender
We develop precise technical drawings and specifications, ensuring every detail is considered. We then prepare and issue tender documents, enabling you to obtain a construction cost from builders.
Contracts & Project Management
If required, we can oversee construction to ensure compliance with the design intent, handling contract administration, site inspections, and certification.

What Our Clients Say
We contacted MAH as we wanted to extend our home to give us a vaulted family room, remodelled kitchen and downstairs bedroom with en-suite. The tricky bit was turning the roof round at 90 degrees so that the new back door aligned with our side garage door. The brief was not just met but exceeded and the builder was full of praise for the innovative architecture! We’d fully recommend MAH to realise your dreams
