Testimonials

"I arrived at the Architect's office, nervous about might happen. I was seen by a very friendly young (to me!) man. He was a bit taken aback when I produced drawings and a couple of quotes from builders and then asked him for his opinion of my ideas. But he made some excellent suggestions, really listened to what I was trying to achieve and proffered his opinion on it all. He contacted me a few weeks later, as agreed. No - I still have not bitten the bullet - but found the opportunity of an hour of an expert's time really valuable - well done Simon and all the volunteering architects!

"Galway is bound to throw up another interesting range of projects to discuss this year. House Extension and Refurbishment projects of all sorts were shown to us for Open Day over the last couple of years. It was very enjoyable  to go through them all while helping the local Simon Community."

"The day itself was great fun and seeing so many completely different projects in the day was a real challenge. I wholeheartedly recommend the day to both architects and potential clients alike and it's great to feel you given something back to society

"Participating in the Simon Open Door Day over the past three years has been a great experience for our office. It is marvelous to see how during the hour long consultation people who may never have considered using an architect start to see the advantages of doing so and begin to appreciate how it can actually save them money. It has lead to new work for our office which is to be particularly welcomed in the current climate and at the same time we are helping with a good cause by supporting Simon."

Thank you for the opportunity provided by this fundraiser to tap into expert advice whilst at the same time helping the Simon Communities of Ireland. Every aspect of Simon Open Door 2008 ran smoothly and I received an excellent service from Lester Naughton in Galway, over and above anything I could have expected. With such goodwill I believe all the participants will benefit from the experience. It's a win/win.
Thank you and very best wishes, Catherine


Just to quick note to say what a great initiative - I got superb value out of my hour consultation with RKD during Simon Open Door 2008 and was delighted I was able to contribute to a worthy cause!
Well Done, Loretto
