State requirements were met, alternative suggestions for other options were noted, and a
general feeling of professionalism was observed."
Government & Public Sector Projects
A Chief of Police noted the following on a renovation/reuse project. "...This achievement is particularly significant since they were successful in adapting the functional requirements of the Police Department to an existing building. Also of significant importance, particularly in today's economy, was the ability of their organization to estimate costs both prior to actual construction and during construction."
- Chief of Police (Renovation/Reuse Project)
"...The City of... contracted Thompson Designers, Inc. to redesign and remodel an existing 50-year-old city hall structure. Mr. Thompson provided the city a modern, extremely cost effective and efficient City Hall Complex. Based on the efficiency and expertise of Thompson Designers during the design, construction and follow through, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Thompson's firm for any architectural engineering you may need."

- Client Frustrated with Status Quo
"Mr. Thompson designed a six thousand square foot building for Physical Therapy (including a Fitness Center) and offices.... Presently we have under construction and eighteen thousand square foot building.... This building is coming along nicely. We are on schedule and within budget at this time. This building is being built using Integra Block System. This requires a different construction method and appears to be an energy saving building."

"I would like to express my appreciation and respect for you and your company as regards to the design quality of our building, and your compliance with not only the terms but spirit of the building contract.... I am extremely proud of our building, and I am impressed with your continued concern about its proper operation and appearance."

- President, Bank
- Vice President, Food Manufacturing Company
"The church ... is constructing a new 28,000 square feet worship facility, and we could not be more pleased with the service of Mr. Thompson and his firm....There probably is no more challenging project than satisfying 300 members of a church, each of whom has his or her idea about the function of the building and how much it should cost.
From the beginning, we have found Mr. Thompson to be thoroughly professional and responsive to every challenge presented to him....We interviewed several architects before choosing Mr. Thompson, and we more convinced every day that we made the right choice.”
Churches & School Projects
"We have constructed a new 8,200-sq. ft. church building. Mr. Thompson's firm has proved quite flexible throughout our project. I know him to be professional and he has been thoroughly responsive to all of our needs on this project. They have met and exceeded our expectations throughout the planning and implementation of the project. I believe you will be hard pressed to find a more flexible or energetic architectural firm. "
"After interviewing several church building firms, our Design Committee and Church Board agreed unanimously that Bill Thompson's approach to designing, budgeting, and construction supervision offered us the best possibility for a building uniquely our own that would be creative, functional, and affordable."
"We are a newly planted church that desperately needed a meeting facility that would be highly functional yet low in cost. Thompson Designers took our problems and developed an exciting plan of action! The results were dramatic! We have an attractive, low cost building appraised conservatively more than 75% higher that our investment."
"Needless to say we are extremely please with the finished product. All the plans that we envisioned came to fruition and we have been using it for almost eighteen years. We were able to bring it in at a cost of about $15 per square foot and our maintenance is very low."
"We have had good rapport with Thompson Associates from the very onset of the planning for the building and have found them to be patient, easily accessible, ready to answer our questions or to come meet with us if that were required. Their attitude has always been one of personal interest in every detail of the planning."

"I was able to work effectively with Mr. Thompson's firm and was given his assistance and expertise in every area of concern. He has been extremely instrumental in allowing us to gain the most from our money as well as provide our students with a facility housing the latest technological advances and energy efficient equipment."
