Architect
"Ogee Architects has known Diamatrix Planning Consultants for over 17 years. As a director of Ogee Architects, I have dealt with Gbenga Tokun on many projects, ranging from apartment buildings to multi-unit developments to commercial projects. I found Gbenga to be a highly professional with a passion for excellence in all projects. He supported Ogee Architects. Gbenga has been an outstanding town planner, mentor, and source of inspiration and advice for all our projects. Gbenga's contributions have helped shape the team of Ogee Architects to better plan and design our projects. I thank & recommend Gbenga for the achievements & outcomes of our projects with all city councils."
Registered Builder
"We have collaborated with Diamatrix Planning Consultants for our building projects for over 8 years, with very high success rates at the council and VCAT levels. Gbenga from Diamatrix Planning is very professional and reliable, and he appears to always know how to get the required support for planning proposals. He seems to have the appropriate answer to every planning problem. Gbenga discovers issues and potential concerns at very early stages, and we tackle them to ensure the proposal gains the authorities’ support, hence a much smoother process."
Property Owners
"We were about to enter into a contract to buy land on Green Wedge Zone to build our dream home when a friend told us it would benefit us to undertake a planning feasibility study before committing. We contacted Gbenga of Diamatrix Planning, who quickly undertook a planning feasibility assessment that itemised the site's planning issues regarding physical and planning scheme constraints and was frank about the possibility of securing planning approval. Based on his advice, we did not sign the contract of sale and decided to look for a property with fewer planning issues. Gbenga handled the permit application process for us, and we got a permit in a reasonable time frame."
Building designer
"I have worked with Gbenga and Diamatrix Planning for more than 15 years on several projects ranging from dual occupancies to multi-storey residential developments across several Councils in Victoria. Of the projects I have worked on with Diamatrix Planning, the high level of service they bring to the client and project is immense. They have an in-depth knowledge of how the Victorian planning process operates and often offer pragmatic advice that is well-heeded by the relevant authorities, achieving approvals with minimal resistance. Diamatrix Planning always acts with the utmost professionalism and integrity in all professional settings I have been involved with. He has been our lifeboat in many sticky situations, and I would highly recommend and continue using him."
