"As an architect, Jeff respects the design of the building, yet is practical enough to be able to build it affordably. He has an amazing ability to communicate with me and the subcontractors while protecting the integrity of the design. "

Jeff Ericson
Jeff Ericson has always been interested in big ideas and how they get built.  His early adult working life included construction jobs as well as work in both architecture and civil engineering offices.  His undergraduate study included Engineering and Creative Writing, as well as Architecture and he received his Undergraduate Degree in Architecture from Arizona State University.  He then continued and received a double Masters degree in both Architecture and Construction Management also from Arizona State University.  He continues to hone his skill set with travel, hands on work, and educational seminars ranging from Urban Land Institute events to conferences put on by the Vine.

Among his previous employers were notably, A.R.T, where he was involved in a roll out of a national chain retailer, Vision Forge which was his own construction company specializing in custom homes, and Grey Development, where he was the design principal for numerous multi-family residential projects.  Grey Development is a well known firm that has in house entitlement, architecture, construction, and project management.  Jeff’s abilities to “speak” all of those languages made him invaluable.

Jeff has also partnered in development projects, bringing his ability to think strategically about extremely complicated issues to bear on his own work.  His most recent project was a 250 unit multi-family with retail mix on an urban site. 

Jeff brings several major skill sets to our work; site strategies, project management, and construction planning and administration. 

Site Strategies
Jeff’s background and talents allows him to work through the complexities of maximizing a site’s potential while considering the branding and end user marketing as well as construction cost and municipal requirements.  A number of our clients have hired the firm just to get Jeff to create their site plans!

Project Management
On all of our projects, Jeff’s role is to run the project and consultants so that the architectural drawings are what they need to be to turn the vision into a reality.  On our interiors projects, he supports Kristine with whatever documentation is required for purchase and installation and he works with the owner, developer, or construction company to make sure that the project is ready for that interior installation.

Construction Planning and Administration
Jeff is responsible for all of our Construction Administration work.  His back ground actually working construction and as a general contractor combined with his architectural degree and problem solving skills make him invaluable on the construction site.  He is often able to identify potential areas of concern before they become an expensive problem and we have had clients hire him to untangle construction problems on projects that are not even our work!  For all of our projects, he works to plan out the best route for construction and/or interiors installations and then stays involved during construction to make sure that our clients get the best results for the money they are investing.
