Thomas E. Scaglione, FRDA

     I started my own practice of Residential Design in January of 1965 and have practiced in that profession since that date to 1987.

     I have prepared plans and specifications for approximately over 100 million dollars of construction in the Tampa Bay Area and taken part in the supervision of 50% of that figure in the years 1965 through 1987.

     I have served under contract with the City of Tampa as a housing design consultant to the Model Cities Relocation Office, an agency of the Metropolitan Development Agency of the City of Tampa. While under contract I provided plans and specifications for 36 single family homes that meet the requirements of HUD, VA, FHA and the Standard Building Code. These plans were used by the Central Relocation Agency's relocation project. It was also my duty under this contract to instruct the Relocation Counselors and Inspectors on the application of the results of my work in the field.
