Proficient was one step ahead. They knew exactly what to do and made things a lot faster and easier for me. I would absolutely use Proficient again because of how smoothly things went, their ability to meet deadlines, and how flexible the team was with adapting the system’s designs and plans to the owner’s needs.

Proficient is not just on time and on budget but the work has directly impacted our residents. We’re focusing on end users and having real discussions about what works instead of just pumping out work and checking boxes to get a job done. They’re doing things that nobody else is. A revolution with higher level engineering design in the senior housing space is about to hit and Proficient has opened my eyes to new opportunities that I couldn’t have dreamed of. There has been true collaboration and innovation between Proficient and LifeBUILT. I can now better serve the senior community. My client and the residents love the results and our investors, contractors and designers are very happy.
