About
How was the database of projects compiled?
The following sources were used to create the project list. They are the only known published lists of Williams’ work. Best efforts were taken to reconcile discrepancies between project names and dates though there may be errors. For the sake of consistency, we have chosen to date projects according to completion of construction.

Are all of Williams’ projects included?
It is thought that Williams undertook well over a three thousand building projects. Hence, the database displayed by the site is by no means complete. PRW Career Mapper is intended to serve as a living document under continuous revision. Suggestions, corrections, and additions are welcome.
