Josh at adapt design is the consummate professional. He took steps beyond what was necessary to help my family not only design our home, but also navigate municipal bylaws for construction. The design process was enjoyable and he did an amazing job putting a list of wants together into blueprints. I can’t imagine getting this level of quality service anywhere else. Highly recommended and will be telling anyone I know that adapt design is the best place for home design on the south island. Can’t say enough, thanks Josh
Now that we are in our new dream home, and I think about our journey getting here, Josh Collins w/ Adapt Design is in the forefront of people that made it so. I have, and will continue to recommend him to any and all family and friends wanting to build. New Construction or Renovation.
Josh is awesome to work with! With his past experience being involved in construction it really translates to the design process that will make your project come to life. He has lots of great ideas that will make your home stand out. Look forward to working with Josh on the next project. The future is bright for Adapt Design!
We’ve worked professionally with Adapt Design for many years. They’ve always been incredibly knowledgeable about all of the greater Victoria Municipalities, and have been instrumental in designing some award winning projects for us. Would absolutely recommend giving Josh a call if you have a new home project that you’d like an expert touch, with a great level of detail and attention. Big thumbs up!
I am a designer, project manager and business owner and it makes a world of difference when you can work with a professional like Josh, he just gets it! He understands timelines, budget and elements of design and the building processes that far exceeded my expectations! Not relatable for all, but very important to some….and something I have appreciate is that Josh is a parent himself! We have 4 kiddos and with that comes additional thought and consideration when planning, designing and building. I would recommend Josh and his team to you in a heartbea.
My family and I were getting ready to hire a builder to construct our dream home in 2019 when he introduced us to Josh Collins with Adapt Design, and are we ever glad he did. From our very first site meeting to discuss design options, assisting with the Delegated Development Permit to going to bat for us with municipality planning department, Josh’s eagerness to help never faltered. His expertise of municipal bylaws and code regulations, from being a certified building inspector, runs deep through his company and his services he offers as a designer. He broke down the once daunting process of dealing with free hold strata requirements as well as the city into simple, easy to follow steps, and was available to talk us through it every step of the way. Even after his job should of been complete and payment had been made.
We worked with Josh at Adapt Design for our home design. He came highly recommended by our builder. The best decision we ever made! He tailored the house layout to our requirements and kept us updated about the latest market trends. We recall giving him a photo of a house we admired, and he stated he designed that as well. Josh was extremely receptive to our follow-up emails and phone conversations and made any necessary modifications promptly
Josh at Adapt Design has been amazing with his design concepts and ideas. His extensive knowledge of the building industry and building code is also a great asset and helpful during the layout of a home. I highly recommend anyone looking for great one on one service in designing a beautiful home, to work with Josh.
Josh did an amazing job with our home design. He’s really easy to work with and we appreciated that he took the extra time to really think about what would be the best for our home, over and above what we had explicitly asked for.
