Our Services

As a full-service architectural firm, we offer a wide range of services designed to guide our clients through every stage of the building process. Here is an overview of the services we provide:

• Programming and Concept Design: We begin by understanding our clients' needs, goals, and budget. Based on this information, we develop initial concepts that incorporate their vision and requirements.

• Schematic Design: In this stage, we refine the initial concepts into detailed drawings, outlining the layout, structure, and appearance of the building. We present these drawings to our clients for review and feedback, iterating until a final design is agreed upon.

• Design Development: We further develop the schematic design, incorporating engineering and specifications for building systems, materials, and finishes. We also ensure that the design conforms to all relevant building codes and regulations.

• Construction Documents: We prepare detailed drawings and specifications for use in the construction bidding and permitting process. These documents include all the necessary information for contractors to build the project.

• Bidding and Negotiation: We assist our clients during the bidding process by reviewing bids, providing recommendations, and negotiating contracts with potential contractors.

• Construction Administration: Throughout the construction phase, we monitor progress, review shop drawings, and provide clarification and guidance to ensure that the project is built according to the design specifications. We also facilitate resolution of any issues that may arise during construction.

• Post-Occupancy Services: After the completion of the project, we provide support and guidance as needed, ensuring that our clients are satisfied with their new space and that any issues are promptly addressed.

Our extensive experience and diverse skill set make us the ideal partner for any architectural project. At Bert Thomas Architect, we are dedicated to providing exceptional service, creative solutions, and outstanding results that our clients can enjoy for years to come.
