Consulting
Architectural design consulting — on-site or virtual, one-on-one or with the full stakeholder team. Feasibility, programming, zoning review, budgets, and a clear path before pencils get sharp.
What PDC delivers
Services with a human on the other end
Paolino Design Collective (founded January 2024, Rhode Island) moves projects from consulting through design, permitting, and project management — residential, remodels, and renovations. You work with Frankie, not a faceless queue.
Architectural design
Schematic design through design development and construction documents: floor plans, elevations, CAD, 3D massing, interiors concepts, cabinetry, consultant integration, and owner sign-off ready packages.
Permitting
Permit submission, document organization, procurement and signing, resubmittals, redlines, and meetings with building officials — the unglamorous work that keeps projects moving.
Project management
Progress tracking, schedule revisions, published updates, and attention to resources and constraints so design intent survives contact with the jobsite.
Residential
Remodels
Renovations
Personal service
Engagement style
Quality without the cold handoff
Frankie brings design sense plus real construction and real-estate fluency. The goal: energetic, innovative solutions that still feel dependable — drawings you can build from, and a partner who shows up when decisions get hard.
