What clients have found useful about working with Sondira

We used the documentation package for a full apartment fit-out — bedroom wardrobes, a study unit, and a TV console in the living room. The drawings were thorough enough that our cabinet maker could price accurately on first look. No surprises when fabrication started. The hardware schedules were a detail we hadn't asked for but turned out to be genuinely useful when ordering.

I wanted a single piece — a walk-in wardrobe for a spare room we converted. I wasn't sure whether commissioning a full designer was warranted for that. The brief-and-sketch service was the right size: one site visit, a clear sketch, notes on the timber and hardware options I'd been considering. The whole thing took just under two weeks. I did wish there had been one more round of revisions included, but the sketch was mostly right first time.

The cabinet-maker liaison service was what made the difference on our project. We already had a contractor and a maker lined up; what we didn't have was someone who would actually be on site during installation and know what to look for. Nadia was there at the right moments, caught a tolerance issue with the kitchen island before it became a problem, and the written note at the end meant the maker had no room to dispute what was outstanding.

We've done three separate pieces over two years — the study shelving first, then a dining storage unit, and most recently bedroom wardrobes. The incremental approach works well for how we approach the house. Each time the process is straightforward: site visit, discussion, sketch or drawings depending on the piece. No pressure to do everything at once.

Detailed documentation for a kitchen cabinetry set. What stood out was how the drawings handled the awkward column in the corner — it was accounted for from the start rather than being left for the maker to figure out on site. The 3D views helped my wife and I get agreement on the layout before anything was made, which saved what would otherwise have been a lengthy revision discussion.

I work long hours and couldn't be on site during installation. The liaison service meant someone I trusted was there instead. I received regular updates and the defects note at the end was clear and well-organised. Two items needed attention; the maker resolved both within the week. The whole thing was notably less stressful than my previous renovation.
