FAQ
Newbridge Architecture
When does the builder get involved?
Some owners begin with a particular builder in mind; others make the selection during the design process. In either case, we recommend talking with builders as the design takes shape and before construction bid documents are complete. We can actively assist owners with builder selection. With close to 20 years of experience in design and construction, we can identify the strengths and weaknesses relevant to your project. Newbridge Architecture has enjoyed productive relationships with a number of excellent builders over the years. A builder’s involvement during design can help answer cost and constructability questions so that the project proceeds more smoothly.
What makes a project successful?
When the construction work is done, we want you to feel that your project is a complete success. We work hard to monitor project costs, to develop thorough and coordinated documents, and to respond quickly to job site questions.
More than that, we know that the owners we work with want to create places of meaning and delight. Achieving that is hugely important to us. We start by listening carefully to your concerns and aspirations. We study the design in many formats: plans, sketches, physical models, and even full size mock-ups. We endeavor to develop every aspect of the design - proportion, light, material, and space - to amplify and support the every day experiences that you enjoy in the place in which you live or work.
In a letter from clients:
“The compliments keep coming! Over the holidays our Welsh brother-in-law told us, ‘it has the proportions and quiet, sacred feel of a Welsh country chapel’.”
