FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do not charge for an initial project consultation. Once I fully understand the scope of the project, I will send you a proposal that documents my fee structure.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we'll sit down and discuss your needs and goals. I'll want to visit the project site. I'll advise you of items you might need to procure for me to complete the work such as a survey or a soils report. Once I fully understand the project, I'll advise you on any outside consultants that might be necessary to complete the work (i.e.: a structural engineer, geotechnical engineer, or a mechanical engineer, etc.). Once a project gets underway, I'll typically arrange periodic meetings with you review progress and incorporate your feedback.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Design from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a Masters Degree in Architecture from Yale School of Architecture. I am certified by the U.S. Green Building Council as a LEED Green Associate by the International Code Council as a CALGreen Inspector / Plans Examiner. I am licensed to practice architecture in California and Oregon.
