- The Design Process-Based on the size & approximate construction cost, the cost is usually 5 - 12 of the construction cost. This is if we develop the schematic through working drawings & provide construction administration. Typically our fees add value to a project well in excess of the design cost.

General Info
Professional Emphasis on low and middle-rise architecture of mixed uses and densities. Extensive experience in renovation as well as new construction and coastal construction. Reference testimonials “Will is easy to work with. His approach is thoughtful, considered, thorough and creative. He is extremely knowledgeable about construction, permitting, and processes on the shoreline, knowledge that is important indeed when building or renovating in a tough environmental and regulatory area. As shoreline zoning continues to evolve at a rapid pace, Will's expertise and ability to anticipate possible issues is invaluable.” Joseph Paduda "Will Thompson is wonderfully relentless in pursuing the details that make a design and a building a success or not. He is someone who can be relied upon." Robert Patricelli. Pre-Design Schematic Design Our initial work includes review of your requirements, the site, zoning, wetlands, flood zones, environmental issues, topography, and building code specific to the project. This is the stage when with your input we develop the program for the Project. This work is all tied into a series of design meetings. Design Development Construction Documents Once the basic relationships of the building, site and budget start to become more clear we start to develop the design. This is when the drawings get enlarged. We start to detail the main materials, circulation, kitchen and bath areas. In Commercial / Industrial projects, space allocation and equipment processes are further reviewed. The next stage is the creation of the Construction Documents. These documents include information to allow the builder to build the project. Construction Contract Procurement Construction Contract Procurement is a stage when a qualified builder is selected. We recommend that whenever possible, one or two preferred builders are involved during the development of the construction documents. This allows input from other viewpoints and time to evaluate who may be best suited to build the project. Construction Contract Administration We monitor construction to confirm that it is being built as per the documents. We review requests for payment and keep record of the work by keeping minutes of site meetings that usually occur every two weeks or so.
