It began with a
vision of our own.

Beals + Thomas was founded in 1984 by John Thomas and

Lawrence Beals. The two partners had their own vision for

fulfilling an emerging need for responsible land planning, design and permitting services. Beals + Thomas promptly established a reputation for providing highly responsive, thorough and accurate services and our client base expanded rapidly. Since our founding we are proud to have provided services to major corporations, institutions, municipalities, real estate developers, architects, and attorneys. We are also proud to still be serving many of our early clients, and to have provided the opportunity for many employees to
establish their careers.

We have a portfolio of over 3,000 projects, each of which

represents in one way or another our commitment to support

our clients’ visions with our expertise. 

Our services in various communities have afforded us a

valuable reputation with municipal, state and federal officials.
We have completed projects that required challenging design solutions with expedited schedules and constraints. Through it all, we credit our staff, whose depth of knowledge and dedication have collectively sustained a level of expertise that serves as the foundation for our success.

As we advance into our fourth decade, we remain proud of our past success and look forward to addressing new projects: each one an opportunity to bring your vision to life by using our commitment to sustainability and respect for the land to help create vibrant places to live, work and play.
