Considered by many owners and developers to be the most knowledgeable golf course designer in the area of golf course construction, Tom Fazio has set a high standard for the small golf design business he started in 1995, focusing on quality, not quantity.“One of the primary benefits of such a boutique company like mine is that you are getting a true Tom Fazio II design,” he says. “You’re not getting a design by one of my associates, or from a designer trained by me.”Taking great pride in being very conscientious, he schedules no more than two projects annually, ensuring that he will be available to the owner and contractor throughout construction. He has yet to have a project come in over budget or late.To maintain quality control, Tom personally develops all of his plans on AutoCAD, creates the construction specifications, develops a working budget, analyzes construction bid proposals, and supervises work throughout the construction phase.He has also served as the construction manager himself on numerous projects, personally supervising the owner’s employees in the daily tasks of building a golf course, including clearing, earthwork, shaping, drainage, greens construction, irrigation, cart path, grassing and landscaping. To insure the timely completion of construction, integrity of design and budget, Tommy has also taken on the additional tasks of equipment management, material ordering, monitoring the construction budget, and labor relations.The experience of overseeing all of those elements gives Tom Fazio and his company a true competitive advantage over other designers..
