Over 100 Positive Reviews — and What They Tell Us About the Way We Work
At Macfie Architecture, our clients are our greatest measure of success. Here's what over 100 positive reviews across Google and TradeMe say about the practice we've built.
Winning awards is wonderful. Being featured in Homestyle and Viva is genuinely gratifying. But if we're honest about what means the most to us at Macfie Architecture, it's this: over 100 positive reviews from real clients, on real projects, across nearly two decades of practice.
36 five-star Google reviews. 67 100% positive TradeMe reviews. Not a single negative review across either platform.
Just clients who trusted us with one of the most significant investments of their lives — and felt moved enough to say so publicly.
We don't take that lightly.
A track record that speaks for itself
Our reviews span nearly twenty years of practice — from our earliest projects on TradeMe through to our most recent award-winning work. They come from all kinds of people on all kinds of projects.
First-time renovators who had never worked with an architect before. Seasoned property developers who have worked with many. Young families transforming a villa on a careful budget. Clients with grand visions and the means to realise them.
What they share in common is this: they felt listened to, guided and genuinely cared for throughout the process.
Some of the things they say:
"Patient and professional throughout — transparent about costs all the way through."
"Detail and organisation were superb. We couldn't have had a better experience."
"They came to the table with numerous ideas and made the process a total joy."
"As a professional developer who has worked with many architects, Macfie Architecture make the process seamless."
"A fantastic family business that I would recommend to anyone."
"We have used Michael on two houses and will do so again."
Why this matters to us
Architecture can feel like a daunting industry to navigate. There's a perception — not entirely unfounded — that architects are expensive, slow, and more interested in their own vision than yours.
We have spent nearly twenty years trying to be the opposite of that. Accessible, honest, collaborative, and genuinely invested in what our clients are trying to achieve — whatever the scale or budget.
Over 100 positive reviews tell us that approach is working.
A note on small projects
One of the things we're most proud of is that our reviews don't just come from large, complex renovations. Some of our most appreciative clients have been those who came to us unsure whether their project was "big enough" for an architect.
It always is.
A bathroom renovation done well can transform the way a home feels. A carefully considered addition can change the way a family lives. The scale of the project is never the measure of its importance — to us or to our clients.
If you're thinking about it — give us a call
If you're considering a renovation or new-build and wondering whether Macfie Architecture is the right fit for you, we'd encourage you to read our reviews on Google and TradeMe. Better yet, give us a call. We offer a complimentary initial consultation and are happy to talk through your project at whatever stage you're at.
Over 100 satisfied clients can't be wrong.
