  • Jeremy and the PPlan team inherited my job from a company that went into liquidation. They jumped in and sorted out the mess left behind and have been nothing but fantastic. It’s been a complicated job from the start and they navigated through keeping in constant communication and being the shining light through a very difficult process with my council. 1000% recommend and would use again in a heart beat, thanks again Jeremy.

  • Jeremy from PPlan was in charge of our home build DA in Tweed. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and kept us in the loop at every stage. He was continuously chasing things up for us and keeping the council on their toes. PPlan and Jeremy were so good we are utilising them for our further works - fence pool and deck later this year. Extremely happy with the service we received and very thankful they made the home build process so much easier for us. Thanks again guys! Jez and Beth
