Testimonials

We have worked with Wade Thomas on two different projects and have been very pleased with his firm's work.

The first project was a renovation of a 3,000 square foot suite. The suite was in an old property and had a number of unforeseen issues to handle, and Wade managed the process very well. In the second project, we were considering the partial redevelopment of a 22,000 square foot shopping center. Wade helped us draw up a set of plans for the redevelopment - site work, demolition and construction drawings - and then bid it out for us to obtain pricing for the project. Again, this project was dealing with an older property and Wade was able to anticipate and respond to the kinds of problems that these properties tend to have.

In both of these projects, Wade kept the work on schedule and ably coordinated with professional consultants, his subcontractors, and City officials. Wade is a very good communicator, and was particularly good at keeping us informed throughout the process. We would definitely work with Wade's firm on projects in the future.

I wanted to take the opportunity to commend R.W. Thomas Construction on completion of recent interior tenent build outs at Norfolk Commerce Park. Wade Thomas has been one of the most knowledgeable and professional construction contractors I have dealt with.

From the beginning of the projects, Wade availed himself to discuss changes potential value engineering options to meet budgetary constraints; then he thoroughly followed through on all aspects of the construction to ensure satisfaction.

I am extremely pleased with the way the construction projects were handled. Wade's commitment to quality, attention to detail, and positive and professional attitude, made the construction projects a success.

I am grateful for the good work of R.W. Thomas Construction Company and recommend them to anyone considering a construction project.

I wanted to write you and thank you for your excellent work with the Fit-out of the Heritage Woodworks and Department of Corrections spaces. Both tenants are extremely pleased with how their space looks and I especially appreciate your efforts to keep the project on time and on budget.

As always, you have handled these jobs in a very professional and knowledgeable fashion, and the progress of the job from bidding, through construction and closeout could not have gone better.

I have had no reservations about recommending you to other clients and friends and one in particular has been impressed with your attention to detail and responsiveness. Thank you again for a "job well done" and I look forward to our next opportunity to work together!

During the past fifteen months, I have had the opportunity to work closely with Wade Thomas. I feel that I have gotten to know him well as a construction contractor and as a person. I have the highest regards for him on both accounts.

Mr. Thomas has been the Contractor's manager for construction of a library for the Virginia Community College System. The project has been more complex and difficult than would have been anticipated. Unknown site conditions, unusual weather, and significant project changes have served to create numerous complications. Although Mr. Thomas has the responsibility of managing other projects simultaneously, and of estimating and bidding for new projects, it has not affected his effectiveness on this project.

I have found him to be very knowledgeable in the procedures, methods and materials, and costs of construction. I have also found him to be perceptive, appreciative of the design intent, and able to anticipate potential conflicts and complications. Perhaps most important, I have found him to be quality conscious and concerned.

The key word in the first sentence of this letter is "with". All too often, the relationship between Architect and Contractor can be adversarial and counterproductive. Although Wade Thomas has been a strong representative for the Contractor's position, during a difficult project, he has maintained a cooperative attitude and a philosophy that working together is most efficient and effective.

As a person, I have found Mr. Thomas to be straightforward, honest and fair.

In summary, I highly endorse Wade Thomas.
