JL Thompson Design Group

JL Thompson Design Group is an architect in Branson, Missouri, specializing in 3D residential home design, custom house plans, and blueprints. The firm serves clients across Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, Springfield, Branson, the surrounding Ozark-Midwest region, and Northwest Arkansas. It holds a rating of 5.00 from the customers who have reviewed it.

The design process begins with a meeting at the client's property for an initial consultation, followed by a proposal and a home design guide for the client to complete. A design kick-off meeting leads to a Gantt chart timeline shared with both client and builder. The firm then creates a preliminary floor plan, revises it until the client approves, and designs additional floor plans. Exterior work moves from a 3D front design to 3D renderings of the rear and side elevations, then to 3D color images of the exterior and interior, including ceiling design. Two internal reviews and corrections of the construction documents precede delivery to the client and builder, and the firm sends the documents to a printer with two sets of plans requested for the client. Two weeks are allowed after each design phase for client review.

The firm's design history began over 30 years ago with Steve Busch of Busch Design Group, known for creating the Country-French European home style that integrated Tudor, English, Cottage, and French elements. Jason joined Steve in 1997, became a senior designer of Busch-Thompson Design Group in 2005, and formed J.L. Thompson Design Group after Steve's passing in 2007. The practice has 21 years of clients in its archives, and its work spans new homes, renderings, and remodels.

The office sits on East Long Street in downtown Branson, about 0.2 miles from South Business 65, the Taneycomo Bridge, Epps Park, Branson City Hall, the Branson Post Office, and the Branson Police Department. It overlooks Lake Taneycomo and the Branson Landing.

Clients describe the team as attentive, communicative, and creative, with one builder of over 30 years calling the firm his preferred plan designer.
