Clients reviews about Pencil Design Studio: Architecture & Construction

A 5+ star experience with Pencil Design Studio. If you are looking to hire a reliable, transparent, and trustworthy quality renovation company you don’t need to look further. I have had the pleasure of working with Sir Chiam and Arch. Juiet on our home renovation. They are hands on, communicate well, meet timelines and budgets, and put their clients needs first. As a OFW residing in UAE, I would highly recommend Pencil Design Studio to homeowners who are looking to renovate. They are committed to quality end results and the process of working together is always enjoyable. We are more than satisfied with our home renovation. The project exceeded what we imagined it would be. One of the biggest things that stood out was the honesty and quality of the work. Great Job. Keep it going! ~ Jovith J

Many architects possess the ability to plan and design a space, yet managing a project requires a team effort. This is precisely what Pencil Design Studio provided for us. As a newlywed couple, we're embarking on a home renovation journey. It took us nearly a year to discover the ideal team to address our inquiries, and we stumbled upon their Facebook page. Thanks to this exceptional team, we had the opportunity to meet the leaders, Chiam and Juliet. Perfect 5-star rating for their professionalism. Really appreciate their approach in explaining matters to clients, particularly to first-time homeowners like us. Their creativity and passion for their craft are evident in everything they do. If you're looking for a team to design and build your home in Davao City, we highly recommend them! ~ Mae C

I had a great experience working with Pencil Design Studio for the design and build of my condo unit at Arezzo Place, Davao. From concept to completion, their team was professional, creative, and very easy to work with. They really took time to understand my preferences and lifestyle, and the final result reflected exactly what I envisioned—modern, functional, and well-executed. The design details, space planning, and material choices were all thoughtfully done. What I appreciated most was their hands-on approach during the build phase. Communication was clear, timelines were well-managed, and the workmanship was impressive. The finished unit looks polished and high-quality. If you’re looking for a reliable team for interior design and construction, especially for condo projects, I highly recommend Pencil Design Studio. ~ Carl M

I just came across their FB page and did an inquiry via messenger regarding their service. I’m living out of the country so it’s hard to find someone I can trust. The team at Pencil Studio was prompt, professional, and quick on their response. They scheduled an on-site visit to see the unit for measurements and quotation of the project expense. Since the agreement, it has been a smooth process. They finished works with their service in record time. They accommodated the dates my unit is available as I have guests booked in advance prior to this project implementation. The billing process was also quite easy to manage. I would happily recommend their service. Extremely happy with the service. ~ Elle&Max W

We had engaged Pencil Studio for design services of our 15-year old home and we were extremely satisfied with the output. From the get-go they were very professional yet their process has that enough domesticity that trusting them entirely wasn’t an issue. Chiam is very easy to talk to and Architect Juliet has that perfect blend of artistry and practicality. I just had to vaguely describe what I want and Architect Juliet translated those expertly into designs. Her attention to detail is what every homeowner who-are-clueless-on-what-to-do needs. The entire process was smooth, they deliver on their committed deadlines and more! ~ Catherine L

The young engineer and architect have done their best to meet the standards of their client. They made extra effort to procure the required furniture and fixtures we have agreed to use in the project. Their suggestions and our concepts were professionally discussed to come up to an acceptable outcome. In their young practice as contractors, I find their way convincing and commendable. However, I suggest that they be more diligent in overseeing their workers so as to avoid unnecessary rework. Overall, I appreciate their work, output and patience in dealing with their client. ~ Hernando B

If you're considering renovating your home or space, I highly recommend reaching out to Pencil Studio! ~ Gemima G

Our experience with Pencil Design Studio has been phenomenal, and we cannot thank the team enough. From the start of the process right through to the completion of our condo design, the level of professionalism and dedication demonstrated by everyone was truly outstanding. The entire team, specifically Chiam, Architect Juliet, and Jeslyn, was incredibly accommodating and attentive. They made the often-stressful design process smooth and exciting, demonstrating a genuine commitment to realizing our vision. Just wow! Pencil Design Studio flawlessly captured our vision. They somehow managed to pull our dream color palette straight out of our minds and onto the drawing board. The result is stunning, and the attention to detail is remarkable. We are so thrilled with the final design concepts and can’t wait to work with the team again next year to make this condo dream fit-out a reality.

I had my studio unit designed and furnished by Pencil Design Studio, and I am very satisfied with their work and service.

Our bedroom makeover by Pencil Design Studios was truly beyond our imagination. From a dull and ordinary space, they transformed our room into something homey, cozy, and full of life. Every detail felt well thought out, and the end result exceeded what we initially hoped for. What we appreciated the most is that they didn’t just change our bedroom — they inspired us. Napaisip kami na pwede pa pala mabago yung itsura ng overall bahay, na hindi pala siya hopeless. Their vision made us see our home in a whole new light. The team is very humble, thoughtful, and down to earth, which made the whole process comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Sir Chiam and Architect Juliet! And to the construction staffs who worked tirelessy to create our dream bedroom. Ramdam namin yung sincerity and love through their work — hindi lang basta design, but something done with heart and care. We’re truly grateful to Pencil Design Studios for turning our space into a place we now love coming home to. Highly recommended for anyone looking not just for a makeover, but for inspiration and genuine passion in design ~ Milyn C
