Testimonials
“I worked directly with Stemper AC on two of the completed projects becoming involved after design and at the beginning of construction. I found them to be very responsive to issues that came up throughout construction. They were prompt in addressing issues and finding solutions. They were very easy to work with, whether it involved addressing a latent condition or a last minute owner requested change in scope. They demonstrated a great amount of personal attention and commitment to each project. They interacted very well with the entire team…. They maintained a very good working relationship with everyone…. The design of the renovation project has been exceptionally well received by the users, administrators, and by Pierce Transit as a whole. I would not hesitate to use Stemper AC again for similar projects knowing I would again receive top-notch professional consulting services with a high level of dedication, professionalism, personal attention, and commitment.”

“The design team, contractor, capital projects, staff, and school community, have worked diligently to coordinate and communicate throughout the design and construction process. I personally am proud of the resulting competed overall project and what it will have delivered to our Laurelhurst community. As we continue working through wrapping it all up and the "growing pains" of settling back in to a "new" space, I hope when our work is completed that it will contribute to a better experience (interior comfort, physical appearance, safety, a welcoming presence, etc.) for everyone whose day involves being on or around the Laurelhurst facility and campus.”

“During the last site meeting, the project’s GC commented that their sub-contractors were very happy with the level of details provided in our drawings. In their words, they rarely encountered such high level of professionalism. Kudos to S.M. Stemper Architects for working with the consultants and owner to produce quality documents.”

“On behalf of our college president’s staff, I want to say thank you for the role you played in helping us get to the point where we have received our allotment from OFM and have issued our NTP to our general contractor for the SMT renovation project. With completion of the facilities building ahead of schedule, we were able to start the renovation project weeks ahead of the original schedule. Your efforts are appreciated.”

“Stemper AC put together a first-rate team that fully met SPS needs for this project. They are the leading expert in envelope renovation and elevator installation/renovation in the region. Their extensive knowledge was instrumental in producing a successful project and ensuring that the usable life of John Marshall School was extended for a few more decades.
I found Thomas and the other team members to be excellent listeners and interpreters of the needs of the client. They proved to be knowledgeable and resourceful. They demonstrated excellent follow-up throughout the entire project. As we worked together, they collaboratively came up with a design solution that met both the budget and schedule.”

“I have worked closely with the firm on two separate campuses for nearly 10 years. In conjunction with their professional services for elevator project work, it is their insight and knowledge of building systems design that is exceptionally valuable to keeping our elevator projects on schedule and on budget. They are proven and effective managers of diverse, multi-disciplined consulting teams and from my experience, have the unique ability to synthesize technical project concepts into terms that are easily understood by all parties. They are excellent problem solvers and are able to proactively spot potential issues to keep the projects advancing. As a result efficiency is gained by all concerned.”

“Stemper AC has been professional in all of our dealings. They offered a great balance of knowledge of the building and design industry along with great customer service. They listened and offered suggestions, and at the same time respected our wishes regarding the design elements we knew we wanted. We don’t feel like we were talked into anything that didn’t seem to fit for us. If questions came up that there were no immediate answers for, there was a quick follow-up of information. Their timeliness and follow through is to be commended.”
