Am looking for an recommendations of architects experienced at this type of work and used to working in Lane Cove area and with the local council.

It's very hard to choose an architect unless you know someone who can personally recommend one they have used before.

Re: Looking for reputable architect in Lane Cove area 3Nov 10, 2007 11:58 am Cor, that was a quick reply, Cookiemonster! Thanks for your help. It's all very daunting and exciting at the same time but I suppose you have to start somewhere.
