Triangle Residential Designs

Dave and Triangle Residential Designs (TRD) are amazing. From the moment we reached out to TRD, their entire team was always responsive, resourceful, and supportive. TRD's understanding of building codes, design standards, and timelines was very much appreciated. I give my highest recommendation and am referring TRD to my best of friends.

Dave has helped me as a new general contractor customize my house plans to the needs of my budget and lot requirements. He is familiar with a vast amount of building techniques and can show several iterations of plans to quickly refine and optimize the space you need to build that perfect space. You can take a look at the pictures of how I was able to collaborate with Dave to help me with my first build.

We reached out to David through a referral from a friend of ours. I'm sure glad we did! My wife and I were planning to build our "forever house" at the coast of NC. We had looked at stock plans for months, and simply couldn't find exactly what we were looking for. We literally walked into David's office with an ink pen and a blank piece of paper. To complicate matters, we knew we were going to have to build on pilings, which wasn't particularly prevalent in David's typical designs. In literally an hour or so, David had asked just the right questions to understand exactly what we were looking for. He made a couple of quick sketches, took some notes regarding things we didn't want, and a few must haves, and off we went. In a few weeks, he sent us a preliminary plan that was remarkably close to what our final turned out to be. Over the course of a few months, lots of pictures and screens shots from the internet, and a few back and forth changes, we settled on a final design and couldn't be happier. David was professional and transparent throughout the process, helped us with ideas when we got stuck or had questions, and even facilitated final engineering and printing of our plans. We can't wait to get started with actual construction and to be able to see it come to life. I would highly recommend David and TRD for any residential design needs.

Just wanted to give Dave Bennett with Triangle Residential Designs a huge shout out! Dave help us design our mountain home. He is extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. He is true to his word and very fair on price!! I would strongly recommend him and would definitely use TRD on another project.

We did an addition to our home and David was great in helping us design and layout the space in a way that made sense, used space wisely and met our goals for the addition. He was very helpful and doing most of it electronically made it easy! I'd highly recommend him and we will use Triangle Residential Designs in the future if we have a need.

I've known and trusted the quality of David's work for over 20 years. When a tree fell on our house we took the opportunity to redesign the master bedroom, bathroom, and exterior. What we were asking for was no easy task, but David and the contractor he recommended gave us our dream home with high quality design/workmanship under budget! David is a capable and patient professional who works diligently to help clients reach their goals.

Dave was recommended by Paragon Building Group. We enjoyed working with Dave. He made the experience fun and helped us design a house we feel confident we will enjoy living in. This was our first time working with a designer and we would highly recommend Triangle Residential Designs.

Dave is very easy to work with and we are extremely happy with the design of our new home, as it is being built. As we were going through the design process, we went back and forth on a lot of changes, thinking/ rethinking, adding/removing etc. Dave was extremely patient and accommodative! As an client, you have a lot of ideas but sometimes they are difficult to achieve due to structural challenges. Dave was always about figuring it out on how to make it happen, despite the challenges and giving us the design we wanted!

We had spent months trying to get our ideas across to so-called custom builders but they just wanted us to cobble something together out of a stock plan instead of helping us design all the elements we wanted. We got referred to Dave from the builder we ultimately hired (Silver Developers) and sat down with Dave and described our dream and the elements we wanted captured in our new home.... He NAILED IT! We wanted something with interesting roof lines, lots of windows, and architectural interest. We liked it on the plans, but as the home started going up and taking shape, we just couldn't believe how well he captured EVERYTHING we laid out that was important to us! During the design process (took us several months), there were several rounds of back and forth where we were trying to tweak and change things. With every revision, he came back with something better than what we had imagined ourselves! He thought through a lot of practical details we hadn't even thought of! We could not be more delighted with how things turned out. And, Dave was quite reasonable in price too -- particularly given the number of back and forths to make changes.

I worked with Dave (Triangle Residential Designs) for construction of two new houses. These houses are in an established subdivision. To start with, architecture committee and HOA was very demanding, to put it very politely. They placed many asks in front of us that required us to make multiple changes to the designs. Dave worked with us throughout the process and assisted us in answering the questions and addressing the concerns. We did accept fair asks from HOA but with Dave's help, we were also able to push back on some of the unreasonable asks. I will be more than happy to engage Dave in our next projects. We are currently building the houses and they look good.

Fantastic job by David on our 1950's ranch reno. We completely redid the front of the house including front porch, screen porch, and master bedroom. He was great to work with, easily interpreting our concepts into a beautiful plan. I highly recommend him.

I am a custom homebuilder and have used Dave Bennett for multiple projects that he has help me with through his company Triangle Designs. He helps me provide the best home plans I can get for my clients and we achieve that together by brainstorming on ideas mo matter how small or large of a project it is.. He transforms ideas into real house plans and is able to make any changes quickly and seamlessly. Dave also has the knowledge to incorporate structural components and ideas into house plans which helps get a headstart on completing the plans and sending them to a structural engineer for final approval. From a builder perspective Dave is not just a home designer but he also understands structural aspects of the home which are very important for builder to see upfront during the process. I will continue to use Dave And his firm in the future… Mark Volpe- Volpe Custom Homes
