Gorges is sympathetic to budget constraints, expertly integrating clients’ existing furnishings into the design plan. While he knows and offers the best, he always seems to have a well-priced alternative "up his sleeve." Because of his excellent and multifarious training-Parsons, Noel Jeffrey, Peter Marino and Parish-Hadley's architecture department-Gorges according to appreciative clients, often becomes the project manager. While he wins accolades for delivering fantastic architectural details (including lighting schematics) and intelligent design elements (Peter Marino at a fraction of the cost), some say he has less interest in selecting the detailed accessories such as books, picture frames, etc.

Gorges is known to be very fair with his fees, waiving charges for things that are redone even if he originally followed a client decision. He charges a Standard design fee and Reasonable percentage over net. Oversight fees may be charged by the hour or on a percentage basis. Clients highly recommend Gorges for his cohesive vision and outstanding project management skills. KB. 2001
