“Chris is professional, diligent and hardworking.
We would highly recommend Chris and his work”
“Chris Nel met with us to design our dream home. He listened attentively to our ideas and hopes for our house. Chris took the time to explore our thinking and asked questions to ensure he captured all the required information at our initial meeting.
Chris took away our thoughts and brought them to life in a detailed plan. Throughout the process Chris would check in with us to ensure he was meeting the brief, testing workable solutions and proposing suggestions to benefit the overall design.
Chris is professional, diligent and hardworking. He takes time and as a customer we felt heard and validated. We would highly recommend Chris and his work. We are looking forward to moving into our dream home next month!”

“His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable.”
“I would highly recommend Chris Nel to anyone looking for help with house plans. He was incredibly professional, patient, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. He even took the time to measure my actual furniture and add it to the plan — this made a huge difference in helping me visualise the space properly. Because of that, I decided to make a few rooms bigger, and I’m so pleased with the result.
He also created a 3D view of the kitchen, which really helped me see how everything would look and fit together. His attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and very grateful for his help.

“Amongst all the stress of our wedding preparation, figuring out what we wanted for our wedding favours felt extremely difficult, until we got in touch with Chris. He was not only able to create a lovely design of coasters for us, but he was patient and provided us with several options until we found the one that was right. So thank you to Chris not only for the quality of his work, but his patience along the way.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris on several gifts for different people, and each time, he’s gone above and beyond. He’s always professional and incredibly dedicated to helping me create something even better than I envisioned. The quality of his work is outstanding, from the beautiful tiles to the amazing personalized wood boards, and the adorable emu earrings he made for my mom were a huge hit. I highly recommend thebandedbee for anyone looking for unique and thoughtful gifts!”
