"Working with Oliver and the Placecraft team to bring my dream home into the world was a very rewarding experience. Over the 3 years that it took to complete our project I felt held in every stage of the process, from the visioning and design to the final touches. It feels rare in today’s world to find the quality of craftsmanship, integrity of ethics and clear honest communication that I experienced working with Placecraft.”
