I had the pleasure of working in conjunction with Paul Davidson on a unique project for the historic Briggs Residence in the West Adams District of Los Angeles. He was a joy to work with: respectful, responsive to ideas and inquiry, punctual in communication, and supportive of every step of the process. His artistic eye, and experience and skills in project and facilities management, owner representation, and construction oversight were invaluable to the desired end result. I greatly appreciated working with him, and hope to have the opportunity to do so in the future..
