"Art negotiated a Professional Services contract for our Architectural-Engineering firm, with a School Board. Art negotiated equitable fees for our services. and the actual cost of construction with the General Contractor. Art's consulting involvement resulted in a fast-tracked project, which finished four months ahead of schedule and significantly under budget. Art is sincere, dedicated and driven by a sense of fairness and an appreciation of the complexities of our difficult industry."
