			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #888888; font-family: andale mono,times;"><span style="font-size: large;">We hope that everyone had a great holiday. We certainly did at TDC. We also had a great 2011 and wanted to share with you some of the areas we’ve been working in around town as well as some features of a few exciting projects we had the privilege to complete this last year.</span></span></p>

One of the unique standouts was a master closet with a vintage chandelier, glass front drawers, book-matched millwork, and back-lit shoe racks. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888; font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: medium;">“I had such an awesome experience with Thomas Development and Construction.”</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888; font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: medium;">“The actual construction took 8 weeks total, and Matthew did an astonishing amount during that time &#8211; took our kitchen and master bath down to the studs and completely rebuilt them, took down walls in our living room and dining area, put up a wall to enclose part of our front room as an office, added speakers/sound system, moved a wall in the laundry room, replaced most of the light fixtures in the house and added tons of can lights, replaced or added several doors (interior and exterior), re-textured and repainted most of the house, added new trim/molding to most of the house, redid the wood floors and replaced the carpet in the bedrooms, and did some major things in our kids&#8217; bathroom and our half-bathroom.<strong> </strong>And he did it within the budget we had given him!  We are 100% pleased with the outcome &#8211; we love our house so much.”<strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888; font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: medium;">“Thanks a lot. We couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with everything.” </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #e9560b; font-family: andale mono,times; font-size: large;">Thank you to all our friends and clients for a great 2011.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi. I&#8217;m Matthew Thomas, and I bring more than 15 years of experience in the residential and commercial construction industry. ThomasDC.com is the new website for Thomas Development and Construction, LLC.</p>
<p>Early in my career, I served as a land planner, working closely with developers and municipalities. The next several years were spent with a custom home builder, and working for a commercial contractor, overseeing and managing various aspects of new construction and remodels of office, warehouse, prison, <span id="more-423"></span>hotel, condominiums, apartments, retail, commercial garage parking, and industrial projects. Recently, my company &#8212; Thomas Development and Construction &#8212; completed more than four million square feet of buildings valued at over $300 million as both a 3rd party contractor and an owner-developer.<br />
<img class="size-medium wp-image-433 alignright" title="matthew" src="http://thomasdc.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/matthew-131x200.png" alt="Matthew Thomas" width="131" height="200" /><br />
Over the years, I&#8217;ve developed a great understanding of and appreciation for residential architecture and design. I think you&#8217;ll be able to see just how that has worked out in some of our recent residential projects.</p>
<p>So, look through our photo gallery, then <a href="http://thomasdc.com/contact/">contact me</a>. Quality work comes down to consistent quality management of all parties involved. During your project we monitor and coordinate on a daily basis with our clients, designers, contractors and suppliers to ensure things are staying on track and within budget. We monitor progress using daily walk-throughs of the project, and update the budget and schedule as needed. Perhaps the most important aspect of all this is our focus on the finer points. Even with sound initial design and impeccable planning, we believe it’s our attention to details throughout the process that makes a good job great. I look forward to hearing from you.</p>
