Q: How do you help your clients during construction?
A: I want my clients’ designs to be executed as we envisioned, so I am in close contact with the builder throughout the process. I review the builder’s shop drawings and material submittals and attend periodic site meetings with my clients. Without the presence of an architect to help both client and builder make decisions and solve inevitable issues, the process can be needlessly stressful and the end product disappointing.
Q: How would your clients describe you?
A: I’ll use some of their testimonials:
“Tripp listens carefully and offers creative solutions. He is organized, efficient and great at communication. We hope to work with him again someday!”
“Building a home from scratch can be overwhelming, and Tripp has a good sense of timing in terms of keeping the project moving while maintaining a manageable decision-making schedule for the client.”
“Not only did Tripp help us with a beautiful design for our Arlington home, he’s also deeply experienced on the construction side. Hiring him is like hiring an expert/advisor to have in your corner through the life of the project—from design to permitting and beyond. Lastly, Tripp is level-headed, patient, responsive and all around a very easy and pleasant person to work with. You would be very lucky to get him as your architect on your next project.”
