WHAT PEOPLE SAY
DAVID M.
Working with Ralph has been a great experience. His plans and construction documents were extremely professional, which made the permitting process incredibly smooth—with barely any comments from the city during plan review. He brings strong design and creative concepts to the table, but at the same time, he’s very open to alternative ideas and truly collaborates with the developer. He’s super easy to work with, responsive, and detail-oriented. I’d gladly work with him again.
RAFI S.
I’ve worked with Ralph for over a decade (renovations and ground up construction). Ralph and his team always deliver on time and get through city approvals efficiently. His experience shines in the problems he’s been able to solve.
DAVID B.
Working with Ralph Tait on my full home renovation was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He guided the entire process with expertise, from submitting plans to the city to coordinating with the Historic Preservation Society. He was always attentive, responsive, and truly cared about the outcome. He was not shy about suggesting changes and always had a reasoning behind. His professionalism and ability to collaborate smoothly with all the subcontractors made a huge difference. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated architect.
