Testimonials

In their own words.

Six published testimonials carried forward from the legacy site. Private clients, repeat investor partners, and the engineering and project-management consultants we've worked alongside on commercial projects over the years.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Mr Rod McMullen of Icono on the design of our residential dwelling since February 2011. We want you to love working with us so that you tell your family, friends and colleagues.

I have worked on a number of projects over the last 15 years as Project Manager with Rod McMullen of Icono Design as the Building Designer. Rod works well as a team member, his design and documentation has both flair and practicality, and he is always on the alert for suggestions and alternative products that can save money for his clients. His design team is able to work to the tightest programme and his attention to detail in finalising contracts is of the highest order.

The undersigned has known Rod McMullen for 15 years as a staff member, friend and more recently as a client. Rod has always been enthusiastic and competent in his work. As a building designer, he thinks out the solutions, always calling on assistance when necessary, and prepares documentation to an excellent standard. Projects usually proceed with a minimum of problems as the details are sorted out in the design stage. Rod performs at the highest level in his discipline and I am confident in recommending Rod to provide building design and drafting services to future clients.

Director · Hughes Trueman Consulting Engineers, Wagga

In 2010 MSP Photography moved to a new purpose-built facility in Ball Place, Wagga Wagga. The building was designed by Icono Building Design. Congratulations to Rod McMullen and his team at Icono in designing a building that is not only a pleasant and comfortable place to work, but is also energy efficient and allows for a very efficient workflow for our business.

Owner · Master School Portraits

We have worked with Icono for many years on varied projects residential and commercial. Icono's plans are well presented and very detailed which greatly facilitates the production of the engineering details. Further, Rod is always good to discuss the issues with, allowing the best solutions to be achieved.
