"I've worked with Emeka on the visioning, design and development of the four neighbourhoods of Bridgwater since 2004. I was a very demanding client, but Emeka and his team rose to the challenge and handled the evolving project(s) with professionalism, creativity and grace. I do not know of a landscape architect and master planner I would rather work with. I am now retired but still keep in touch with Emeka. I would recommend his services to any serious and visionary land developer."

Their knowledge of multiple aspects of eco-friendly, sustainable, regenerative and hi-tech architecture, urban design and engineering, taught me a whole bunch and crystalized my vision without making me feel naive. They are really a creative and collaborative bunch, and I couldn't have gotten this far without their help. I would recommend the Nadi Group to anyone looking to attempt something big and visionary!"

"We at Discovery Homes appreciate the way Nadi Group conducts their business. They exemplify how to manage architectural guidelines for development in a way that beautifully maintains the overarching architectural vision, while also being customer-friendly. As coordinator of Selections and Approvals at Discovery, it is very important to have someone that I can connect with directly and on time when questions or issues arise with a build. This reason is why I am so grateful to have Malvin Soh as my contact at Nadi Group. I know he is just a phone call away and will work with me to achieve a design that my clients will love and that will blend beautifully with the already beautiful design of the Bridgwater development. Thank you to Malvin and Nadi Group for all that you do to help us, as builders, create the dream homes our customers desire!"
