Ons werk al 'n hele aantal jare saam met Prieur. Sy diens is puik, sy idees is baie kreatief, en ook funksioneel. Vir van die projekte hanteer hy die hele proses en is ons enigste kontak tussen die munisipaliteite, professionele persone ens. Ons is nie 'n die luukse behuisingsmark nie, Prieur verstaan ook hoe om binne 'n begroting te bly. Ek beveel dis met 'n oop gemoed vir Prieur aan vir enige van sy dienste. More...

Van Architects has done work for both myself in my personal capacity and for my business. His plans are very functional with good ideas for new builds, extensions and improvements. He also provided an end to end service - project managing both the designs and building teams to ensure work is done to the highest standards and within the required time-frames. He also understands the budgetary constraints which all businesses face and can work within these constraints. I have no hesitation in recommending Van Architects for both Architectural and Building projects. More...
