Thomas Design Associates is a full service design/build firm with more than 25 years experience in the real estate industry. Headed by Thomas Giovannoli and staffed by an experienced team of industry professionals, TDA specializes in the design and construction of custom modular homes, additions, renovations and interior remodeling. In addition, TDA also offers professional home maintenance, senior home repair and safety services, and commercial property management for residential and commercial clients.
Custom modular homes are one of the fastest growing segments of today’s residential and light commercial construction industry. The introduction of computer technology, engineered building materials, innovative products and state of the art construction facilities enable TDA to offer high quality custom modular homes of all sizes and architectural styles that are inherently energy efficient, environmentally friendly, healthier to live in, more structurally sound and cost effective.
Modular construction is the future of home building now, evolving from its early elementary trailer home beginnings to sophisticated spacious custom homes. No longer one-size fits all, modular homes today offer size and quality that equals and often surpasses the traditional stick built home. From 1,500 or less square feet of living space to 7,000 or more square feet, from Cottage to Cape Cod, Colonial to Georgian, Gothic to Victorian, Craftsman to Modern and everything in-between, options and opportunity abound with modular homes. One call, one meeting can change the way you live the rest of your life.
Join our growing list of savvy and satisfied homeowners who have discovered
why modular means less cost, less time, and more livability.
At TDA, our goal is to give every client what they want, not what they will accept. Once we establish your wants and needs, the process begins with design. From concept to completion, the process of design and construction is a series of decision making activities. It is a continual process of studying, investigating, and analyzing various options.
Whether modular or traditional building, no matter how small or large your construction project, we believe the experience should be a positive one and the result should be the living environment you envisioned.
