Residential Architect Gives Back to Community

PONTIAC, MI, January 07, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On Saturday, June 10, two single mothers each received a set of keys to their brand new four-bedroom homes in Pontiac, thanks to the teamwork of local building companies and an architecture firm in Bloomfield Hills. Dominick Tringali Architects, along with Bingham Development, Consolidated Development, Templeton Building Company, Palazzolo Brothers, Cohen Homes, Ivanhoe-Huntley Homes, Kellett Construction, Wellington-Chase Homes, and LaSalle Wealth Management, teamed up for Habitat for Humanity of Oakland County to construct two new homes for the 2006 Builders Blitz.

These 11 firms have actually been working on their blitz build since mid-February, when they met at Dominick Tringali Architects office in Bloomfield Hills to begin the planning stages of the two projects. Led by Gwen Joseph, the Director of Corporate Relations and Special Events for Habitat for Humanity of Oakland County, the builders accepted the challenge of not only constructing the homes in two weeks time, but also obtaining all materials necessary for construction - everything from the lumber packages to the hardware, all through donations from their suppliers and vendor contacts. After five months of phone calls, meetings, and organization, the builders managed to achieve their goal and all materials were delivered to the job sites in time for their build.

Both of the four-bedroom, ranch style houses, located on Paddock Street in Pontiac, were completed and awarded to the homeowners on Saturday June 10, at a dedication ceremony and luncheon.
