My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Vertical DWC? That's a new one to me but might just be semantics. I've seen people use a NFT system and keep the water level super high essentially creating a deep water flow system defeating the purpose of using an NFT system at all.
Anyway, if you plan on using anything organic or even beneficials that contain fungi and to some extent sea kelp/humic acid then aeroponics becomes difficult because of clogging nozzles. Not impossible but why add a layer of complexity and maintenance. When you say vertical are you talking about something like a strawberry tower? If so, then that limits how you deliver your nutes.
reeljake. I use t5 lights as well and have grown tomatoes, peppers, chard, beans and peas (and tons of leafy greens) with great results. I think there is a general thought out there that one has to use HID lights to get good results. Not true.
My local hydro shop has plants under hps, metal halide and led and if you compare my results with theirs, there is no discernible difference for most plants. Really tall plants can benefit from HID due to less drop off in intensity but for the most part t5 for the home hydro person will work just fine not comprising much. And sometimes the amount of coverage can benefit from using HID but I think if you calculate output of t5 kept close, since you can due to less heat, and HID having to kept further away you may be surprised.
