Everyone we’ve worked with at TRA has been great. Laura is super communicative, responsive, direct, and always on our team. She is also great at remembering my preferences since we typically do the same or similar scope over and over. We love working with TRA. Everyone is very professional and knowledgeable. Since we mostly do boring, building standard office finishes, we heavily rely on TRA for their expertise in building codes and functional layouts, even if the project sounds “simple” upfront.

TRA did a great job structuring the timeline of the design and bidding process and they stayed on track! I enjoyed having access to Tony throughout the project [and] having TRA by my side through construction to weigh in on important decisions to leverage their experience [in] getting the best from the General Contractor.

We thoroughly enjoy working with the TRA Design team! As an Owner’s Rep we are responsible for the entire project being on-time and on-budget. TRA gets that fact more than any other architect we work with. For us, it is one less thing to worry about throughout the project.

It has always been a pleasure to work with TRA Design. They work as a team member and lead the design working with the client and contractor. They asked for the budget and worked to achieve it. If something went overbudget they would work to find solutions to bring it back in line. They managed design to hit schedules and deadlines. I am convinced that working with TRA Design is a key step to bringing a project in on time, within budget, and a satisfied client. I look forward to working with the TRA Design team again.

It was the best decision to use TRA. We interviewed 2 other firms and we were happy with our decision. They were very accommodating, professional, kept us on track and welcomed our suggestions. We were very happy with the entire design process and would recommend TRA and use them again. The project ran so smoothly, There were no disagreements or uncomfortable situations. I think there were instances where they went beyond expectations. I liked when they helped with the color selections as this could have been daunting. Decorating your personal home is way different then doing an educational center.

We have been doing business with Tony Ravagnani and TRA Design since the inception of their firm. The reasons we do are; they are responsive, they are professional, and they provide great value for their fee. TRA gives us everything we need in terms of architectural and design services, but they do so efficiently and without wasting our money. And TRA always seems to be able to complete our designs in a timely fashion. Tony and his firm provide the level of service to us that we strive to provide to our clients; we like that.

When my long-term architecture team retired, they introduced me to Tony Ravagnani and I have never looked back. The entire staff at TRA, are what I like to refer to as “owners’ architects.” They think like owners, they listen more than they speak, and they design with common sense. His firm is small but mighty and I have great respect for all the associates who have worked on our projects. It is a pleasure to write this recommendation for such a hard-working and trusted ally who has helped me out more times than I could possibly recall.
