If it were possible to give 6 stars or more I would. I cannot begin to enumerate the superfluous compliments I have for Brad Hollett, ACT Architects and Accelerated Contractors...so I'll tell my story. I am a solo physician and I was initially referred to an architect/"construction manager" to build a procedure based medical office. I went with them because they said that building medical offices is the only thing that they do, they're the best in the business, they have the most experience so they can save me lots of time and money. Sounds good no? Anyway, they'll say anything to get you to sign

After I checked good reviews, I chose this establishment for help to match fire codes
With new layout. I'm not pretty sure
If they are good at their jobs or
They are cheaper than others or
They are faster than others. But I'm pretty sure at least one thing
That they care customers first
In stead of money unlike most other
Establishments look for money first.

Thank you so much for the time you took with me and helping me to bring my designs on paper and making them even better. The completed rending is brilliant.

Bruce and Brad have done an amazing job designing my office space. Tanya's vision has helped in the overall interior look. I am truly looking forward to working out of my office at Stewart Chiropractic. Thank you.
