If considering Mr. Thorpe and his construction company for a commercial construction project, I am writing this letter to convey that Thorpe Development West is the most outstanding and able construction company I have ever worked with. Mr. Thorpe did the Blue Prints, all the Permitting process and the actual construction for my 2500 sq ft. Domino's Pizza TI in the city of Carson in 35 days including the plan check. Mr. Thorpe drew and submitted my Blue Prints to the city of Carson within 10 days of executing his contract with me. We paid for the Expedited Plan Check and there were very few corrections to the plans needed.
However, the most incredible detail is that after the permits were granted Mr. Thorpe obtained all the Inspections all the way to the final Inspection within 14 days. Although Jeff Thorpe has built several stores for me, this one certainly stands out far above the rest.
Tony Fuller, Construction Manager, PWS Laundry; 310.877.1235
After building more than 6 laundromats for PWS Mr. Thorpe has completed his most recent job in such a way that it is worthy of this special acknowledgement. I would like to personally congratulate Mr. Thorpe for his Record 10-week completion of the Pico Rivera location. Not only was this a major TI, with substantial utility and public works, it also was acknowledged as one of the cleanest construction projects seen in our experience. Mr. Thorpe has proven himself in being one of our prime contractors in our Arsenal of highly skilled contractors.

I am writing this testimonial to convey my utmost appreciation for Jeff Thorpe and the work that he performed during the construction of my restaurant in Tustin, California. I had purchased a 25 year old 7000 S.F. bakery restaurant that was to be converted into my new concept. I needed to find the best suited General Contractor that had extensive and strong restaurant background, considering my concept was one that was new and needed meticulous care to details.
Mr. Thorpe came highly recommended to me at a time that was most time-sensitive to me. As he took on the job, he immediately uncovered many flaws in the architectural plans that could’ve easily delayed the project on several different occasions. Throughout the tedious and challenging day-to-day decision making on building my kitchen Mr. Thorpe showed professionalism, patience, resourcefulness and above all – outstanding flexibility as new decisions were made and some old ones adjusted.
I recommend Jeff Thorpe to anyone considering building a restaurant, particularly new concepts that require special care and great understanding regarding operations of the business.
Pastor Augei Barajas; 626.344.5203
I am the pastor of victory outreach ministry church in eagle rock, ca. where my congregation and I undertook the rebuilding of our church facility.
This letter is meant not only to congratulate Mr. Thorpe but to also recommend him to any other perspective clients. I would first like to point out that this project was in no way the normal construction project. Within our church there are several pastors that have construction abilities, which we insisted on Mr. Thorpe working with on this project. Also our budget was extremely tight which left very little room for overrun incidence. In the end neither of these obstacles hindered Mr. Thorpe from the outstanding job that he did.
Secondly, I would like to explain that this project required that two buildings that stood back to back be joined together. The creativity that was necessary to insert the very large steel post and beams, after Suring up the roofs of both buildings and demolishing the back walls of both buildings, was absolutely incredible. Mr. Thorpe diligently combined his skill and experience with the craftsmanship of his sub‐contractors, along with the ability of several of our own pastors and congregation members, ultimately forming a team that worked.
I also feel that Mr. Thorpe along with his associates went far beyond their required duties as the general contractor, to make this project an absolute success for our Victory Outreach family. Again we enthusiastically thank and recommend him as a general contractor. If you are considering Mr. Thorpe as your Contractor and you have the need to contact me directly for a personal reference. I can be contacted directly in my church office in Eagle Rock, California

In regards to the consulting services of Thorpe Development West, I would like to highly recommend this company and their services. I called on Thorpe Development West to evaluate, organize and complete my most recent project that is located in the city of Los Angeles, because my original contractor did not have the experience to complete the job with delay after delay. Finally after 4 months Jeff Thorpe at my request stepped in and facilitated the completion of this project.
First, undertaking the difficult task of understanding where the project was. Secondly, determining what actions needed to be taken in the appropriate order. Then finally bringing the project to its successful completion in a matter of weeks. In addition Thorpe Development West successfully convinced the original contractor to be a part of the process in the end which allowed the process to end without litigation. I thank Thorpe Development West for its great pricing and all of its hard work and professionalism. In addition, I highly recommend Thorpe Development West to anyone considering them for a construction projects.

Your company handled the entire project from the design to planning to approval process to construction completion in a matter of 5 weeks. You were there diligently throughout and all the way to my opening. I will never forget working with you on this project and I know that I can count on you whenever you are called upon In the future. Please feel free to use this letter in the future with any potential clients that you may encounter.

I was introduced to Thorpe Development West by an associate who assured me that Mr. Thorpe could help me in my situation. Owning a piece of land, in California, which I’ve been working on developing for almost three years. I found myself at a complete stand still in the midst of a much larger, and more involved process than I had ever imagined. My search for help led me to Thorpe Development West. Mr. Thorpe has taken my process through to the end in no time in the city of Compton, California by hiring the necessary Engineers and Associates in order for the process to be completed.
His understanding of the permit process and experience with this project has been so impressive that I felt it necessary to write this letter on his behalf. THORPE DEVELOPMENT WEST consulting services went far beyond my expectations. This project has been a lifelong dream of mine and Jeff Thorpe has now made that dream a reality for me. I now look forward to the construction of my ground-up laundromat that has been completely approved for construction.
When considering Thorpe Development West for any of its services please call me directly. I will be glad to give an accounting of my experience with those services to you.

Mr. Jeff Thorpe and his company completed a Domino’s Pizza store relocation for me after the city of Lynwood took my existing location by Emanate domain.
The city of Lynwood reimbursed me for my existing store, but that left me with a limited budget to work with, not to mention very little time to move out of my existing location. I was very fortunate to be introduced to Mr. Thorpe.
Mr. Thorpe produced my blueprints, got them approved by the city and completed my project all within 33 days. I highly recommend him and look forward to do business with him in the future.
