RIVET BUILDERS
Projects

Built, opened, and in use.

Four completed design-build projects led by the principal: a residence, a retail salon, an optical store and a licensed retail store, each taken from measured survey to approved design, full construction drawings, procurement and build. Images are the approved design concepts each project was built to, and photographs from fabrication.

Manhattan townhouses are the next scale up. The discipline is the same.

Every project here ran the way a townhouse will: a written brief, a surveyed base plan, options, an approved concept, a complete drawing set, a furnishing and lighting package, and a project financial report reconciled to receipts.
