Proficient provided design services for the renovation of a 1,500-square-foot building unit into a bar located on Gay Street. Starting in 1908, this downtown area is home to Knoxville’s first skyscrapers and steel-frame buildings of 10 stores or more. The design also includes a new 3 compartment sink and bar area.
We’ve been called a lot of things ~ Experienced, easy to work with, and proactive are a few of our favorites.
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.
