Producing Detailed Quality Plans Fast

Detailed planning and scheduling are critical for ensuring project quality and success. The timing of planning is crucial, as the longer the interval between planning and implementation, the higher the uncertainty.

Reduced Costs and Rework: A detailed quality plan upfront helps identify potential issues early, allowing the project team to address them proactively. This reduces the risk of costly rework or recalls later in the project.

Improved Customer Satisfaction: A comprehensive quality plan ensures the final product or service meets or exceeds customer expectations, leading to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Our Construction Documentation service provides you with clear and detailed building plans, ensuring compliance with regulations and facilitating a smooth construction process.

"We are the type of people who usually read reviews and not write them. However, we felt the need actually to write a review for Frank Gallucci. Frank was recommended to us by a family, which was a great recommendation. His house design process was very organized and stayed within the agreed-upon timelines. Frank had some great design ideas, allowing us to build our dream retirement home with the most important features. We are currently in the build process and have encountered several inspector and permitting-related issues. Each time, Frank has responded to questions or requests for additional information in a timely and professional manner. We would highly recommend Frank Gallucci for your next design-build."

Tammy Stogner

"In late 2021, we approached FGA Associates to design a lake house, and Frank had a portfolio of house designs that we reviewed. He worked with us to understand our needs and developed a house design that was simple and exactly what we wanted. In less than a month, FGA provided a complete set of drawings for us to work with our contractor on. Unfortunately, almost one year later, our contractor requested that we flip the plan to better work with the property topography. Once again, we approached Frank with our issue, and he worked with us to get the updated drawings within two weeks. Frank is extremely responsive and very conscience of his client's needs. Overall, it was an excellent experience working with Frank. We highly recommend FGA Associates for anyone looking for a custom-designed home."

T Connolly

"Frank and his team did an amazing job designing our home. His advice and guidance were invaluable, and I would highly recommend his company for any projects residential or commercial. Hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future."

Mike Nguyen

"Frank and his team have done great on our most recent project. You can count on Frank to pick up the phone and give you his undivided attention. If he can’t pick it up, you can expect a call back within a few hours max. His attention to detail and understanding of customers' needs are exemplary.

John Kemp

"I cannot say enough about Frank Gallucci. We went through two other architects who would not listen to what we visioned for our 100-year-old building. Frank Gallucci was very prompt and very professional each step of the way. Fivestars does not even Come close. We already have him on the books for our second phase. If you would love to see his work, stop at 119 South Third Street in downtown Smithfield, The Twisted Willow! Thank you, Frank!"

Terri Bilott

"Frank was referred to me by my daughter and son-in-law. From the moment my husband and I met with Frank, we were at ease, and we knew he would provide us with the best plan that our budget would allow. Frank spent our first meeting listening and getting to know us. He was attentive to both of us and discussed our ideas - always respecting my husband’s experience and knowledge in the industry. He wasn’t arrogant at all and wanted us to love his design.

Throughout the process, Frank remained attentive and responsive. He communicated his progress on the project, and his projected timeline was consistent in real time. He is always available to ask questions and is always a pleasure to work with. There aren’t enough stars I could give Frank. His customer service, professionalism, integrity, and creativity are second to none!"

Vivian Webb

"Working with Frank was one of the best decisions we made when we decided to build our forever home. We had gone to many different architects and even had one drawn up by another architect before finding Frank. I can tell you that it was easier working with Frank, but the design was a remarkable improvement. He hit the nail on the head with everything we wanted. His designs are truly unique and exude a custom look. Besides the incredible work he does, he is very professional and knowledgeable. He was accurate with the timeline he gave us, a great communicator, and was quick to respond to any call or email. He really listened to what we were looking for and sincerely cared if we were satisfiedwith the final product. When it came time for the build, our builder could easily get a hold of Frank for any questions or clarifications needed to proceed. I have recommended Frank to two other couples, who have also been extremely pleased with his work."

Lauren Totoris

"Frank did a fantastic job on our new home design. He was reasonable, timely, and professional. He helped us think of things we would have never thought about until it was too late to change! I highly recommend for your next project."

Joshua Hobbs

"FGA Associates assisted our company in designing architectural documents for a Commercial Property we purchased. The staff was extremely professional, willing to listen to our recommendations, and candid in sharing what they felt was the best cost affordable solution. Their experience with historic sites and commercial code was excellent."

Katina Blue

"Frank is an extremely creative, detail-oriented, and talented architect. He and his team created a new floor plan for our 1950’s home remodel. He was very responsive and available to discuss design ideas. He could translate what we hoped to have from our home into a functional, livable space. We enjoyed working with him and would recommend his services to anyone needing an architect. We could not have had a better experience."
