MASTER BUILDER
Andrew Risch
Architectural Designer
Andrew started his residential design career in 1998 after graduating from MATC with an Associate Degree in Architectural Technology. He further enhanced his education with a Wisconsin Home Inspector license, attending monthly meetings to stay current on home maintenance, design and code information. This dedication to the profession is evident in his approach to home design, incorporating the client’s daily needs into the spaces he creates. In 2005, Andrew started using the REVIT BIM 3-dimensional drawing program. This technology allows clients to “walk through” their home before a shovel ever moves the dirt. It enables real-time design changes and facilitates open communication between our designer and client. New construction or remodel, Andrew makes certain today’s dream becomes tomorrow’s home sweet home.
