Our office has worked with Katia Griggs at Griggs Systems for more than a decade.

Over the past 6-7 years I’ve had the pleasure of working with Katia on some pretty complex exterior envelope projects and have always appreciated her knowledge and candor. Whenever tricky detailing needed attention, her proactive approach of getting designers and manufacturers to the table, to work things out, was refreshing. She’s also not shy in getting the manufacturer’s help when she doesn’t have the answers, avoiding guesswork. I’m happy to say, since that first project we worked on together, because of her impeccable reputation, her involvement with more design teams and projects from our office has grown.
Griggs Systems has been supporting the efforts of our offices for the last decade, if not more. Whatever our challenge, whether it was a small project or a detailing issue, we received their complete support. Griggs Systems, and specifically Katia, have become our go to representative and our first step in the specification of any exterior product for our projects. Whatever our challenge or design intent, we know that they will have a system for us, can educate us on the advantages, and have the expertise to install it. In many cases, Griggs Systems went far beyond the normal project representative by personally introducing to us new products, training our subcontractors on the installation, reviewing shop drawings, and meeting us in the field to resolving issues. We have an extreme comfort level when it comes to the products Griggs Systems represents.
Katia Griggs quickly became a favorite of our San Francisco office for her attention to detail; her skilled mix of vendors and her responsiveness.

Her product mix is thoughtful and contains a full range of manufacturers that allow us to really accommodate the high performance needs of our clients.
