Gary Earl Parsons, Architect

I’m amazed that Gary has 12, five-​star reviews that are hidden by Unilocal’s algorithms. I’ve never seen anything like it on Unilocal (I’m posting on March 11, 2016).
Gary’s clients don’t post enough to make the mark so the reviews are «hidden» (but you can still read them). That means his clients have gone out of their way to register and post five-​star reviews when they normally wouldn’t do it for anybody. Some of the hidden reviews are extraordinary and heartfelt.
I worked with Gary when I was building and remodeling and Jamie C. nailed it for me with his review:
«I’m a builder who does a lot of work for Gary but we work for a lot of other architects as well. Gary is builder friendly. He addresses the technical and practical issues as well as the aesthetic and architectural ones. I think this is often reflected in the final cost to the homeowner. I know I can safely reduce my margin knowing that Gary has my back. His projects are well thought out and easy to build. (they’re spectacular as well)»
Working with the builder and being builder-​friendly is being client-​friendly at the same time. Making sure the projects are «buildable» is critically important for the flow of the project. I don’t know any other architects that give it as much consideration as Gary does. And, there is never a compromise with the quality or goals of the project. That’s a win-​win scenario for the builder and client.
I can’t take claim for the first to review Gary Parsons, but it’s nice to be the first one that shows up– hopefully.
