1 – Our first client <\/strong>was a Priest. We must have been blessed since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 – The longest <\/strong>project we ever had is still on site after starting 8 years ago. And we don’t regret it for one second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 – We tend to attract clients with a sense of spirituality<\/strong>. Maybe it’s because we take a holistic approach to every project. This normally leads to great projects and great relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 – We have had clients crying <\/strong>when we were presenting our ideas. And one that even wanted to frame our drawings to hang them on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 – Our small (social media) logo <\/strong>was created during a “Start your own business” class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 – The two most unusual requests<\/strong> we had were: to integrate a collection of 10,000 music CDs in our design; and to completely sound proof a Master Bedroom. These two requests were not related!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 – We have refused <\/strong>a number of requests to issue “Opinion on Compliance with Building Regulations” for jobs that we did not design or inspect on site. And we will continue to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 – We have 100% success rate<\/strong> in Planning Applications for New Dwelling Houses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 – The highest number of photos <\/strong>taken for one job was 2,747 (Conservation Works at Brandon House Hotel in Wexford). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 – The most unusual<\/strong> thing we have done to a client was to lock him in the bathroom of our office! And this was done intentionally! There is a reason for everything, and no, it wasn’t because he didn’t want to pay us \ud83d\ude00 !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
