I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a truly outstanding house renovation with Pencil Design studio and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. The attention to detail and the level of craftsmanship displayed throughout the project were nothing short of exceptional.

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.

Illumina Estate, Communal, Davao City

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!

Deca Homes Phase 3

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!
