The PSMJ Premier Award for Client Satisfaction was designated to Shive-Hattery for achieving high client satisfaction scores on PSMJ’s independent survey of 100 Shive-Hattery clients. Winners are chosen based on feedback scores from the firm’s clients in the areas of communications, innovation, performance and cost-efficiencies. Since PSMJ established its client-evaluation research tool in 2009, PSMJ has surveyed more than 20,000 clients of firms operating globally in the A/E/C industry and has recognized the top firms with the highest client satisfaction scores.

Shive-Hattery was selected as one of four firms invited to present at the summit to celebrate Shive-Hattery’s achievement and share the firm’s experiences with conference attendees.
