Steve Pulling, AIA
Architect, Construction Administrator
“Prior to my architectural career, I worked nine years as a carpenter building houses. That experience gave me a deep, hands-on understanding of how buildings are constructed; the sequence of erection, details of connections, and the importance of how various components function together as a composite whole.”
Steve has played an integral role on RND’s team since joining the firm in 2002. As a licensed architect with an intimate knowledge of the entire building process, Steve’s primary role is as Construction Administrator. He skillfully guides many of our projects through the construction process by carefully monitoring activity for compliance with specified product requirements, design intent, code requirements, and workmanship standards. He also serves as an impartial administrator of contracts between Builders and Owners.
In addition to his Master of Architecture degree from NC State University, Steve also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Carroll College. This foundation in scientific inquiry has informed his rigorous, methodical, and investigatory approach to problem-solving and design. It also helped him achieve an understanding of the interconnected systems of both the built and natural environments, and the ways in which building design is an integral component of surrounding ecosystems.
Steve has a deep appreciation of and respect for the natural environment. His favorite travel destinations include Alaska and New Zealand for their stunningly beautiful natural scenery. In his spare time, Steve enjoys gardening and relaxing on his screen porch with a good book, music, and the sounds of neighborhood owls.
