We are so incredibly impressed with Harps and his team, they are 110% committed and dedicated to the job and ensuring that their products and services exceed expectations. They have certainly exceeded all of our expectations in every area! What we love the most is that they actually care about the end product which gives us absolute confidence when spending our clients marketing money on their behalf - we know the marketing of their home is going to look fabulous! We love everything about this business, we highly, highly recommend them. Professional, friendly, caring, efficient and supreme high quality work. Thank you so much Harps and the team, we’re so glad we found you!!

Aladina's passion and enthusiasm for what he does for iwi is matched by his professionalism and regard for Te Ao Maori. He willingly attends all meetings when requested - irrespective of audience number - and is timely regarding meetings, reports and actioning matters. He listens intently and with heart to our stories, dreams and visions, taking care not to over-ride our mana and integrity. Tuhourangi is on the brink of realising a long held desire to re-build a marae at Tarawera and Aladina brought to us a spectacular design for the marae. Although unconventional in style, it is sympathetic to the land and incorporates who we are, our history and cultural icons that set us apart from other tribes. Thank you Aladina for all your contributions and may we enjoy many years with you at our side.

We contracted Apa Architects to do a feasibility study based on their successful and extensive experience with marae building projects - and they didn't disappoint! The firm worked extremely hard to capture the vision from marae members, communicated effectively with required building contractors and delivered comprehensive 2D and 3D plans that met our brief, on time and on budget . We appreciated the hands-on, respectful and professional approach of Apa Architects. We would have no hesitation in recommending them, particularly for marae development projects.

So happy with our scale model for our development!Nadi was easy to work with and kept us updated on the process the whole time, which was a great relief as this was the first time getting a scale model created.As Nadi has worked as an architect in the past, this gave us the confidence that she would be able to understand our plans and covert them into a realistic model.Model quality was superb really detailed, I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for scale model.

Harps and the team at Blank Canvas are the gold-standard. Their work is next level when it comes to production quality and I often show comparisons for my vendors to see how much better their work truly is over other production companies. Their ability to adapt and their open-mindedness to new marketing methods allows us to push the boundaries of real estate marketing together and I am over the moon to have found them.

Blank Canvas are very professional to deal with provide excellent service and deliver tailored creative solutions which they execute superbly in a time efficient customer focussed way. Superb to deal with and thoroughly recommended.

We approached Ray with a bare brief for a modern contemporary home on a very challenging site in the bush. From this he designed us an amazing home with the modern aesthetic we were after and got it right first time. Rays passion for modern architecture and his eye for detail are evident in all he does. His experience and knowledge of the building industry, products and standards have been invaluable and enabled us to quickly overcome any problems that arose during the build process. Ray comes highly recommended.
