"My experience with Phillips Metsch Sweeney Moore on health care projects reinforces my opinion that "team" PMSM is very well equipped to administer their projects. I have found them to be very responsive to the needs of the builder and inspector when questions arise in the field. Frequently, PMSM Architects responds to questions the same day they are submitted. This type of service keeps the project moving smoothly and the general contractor satisfied."

"The most important aspect of the firm is their ability to provide solutions. Most people think of architectural firms as providing building designs. We needed their ability to find solutions to some very real fundamental design and structural problems. PMSM brings out their tissue paper, plops it over our plans, and starts sketching solutions."
