TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say.

In my many years of professional experience I have never encountered a more motivated, responsible, and professional organization than Bliss & Nyitray. Both their work and attitude are consistently of the highest level. I would without reservation recommend them.

J. Junkin - PJB Associates

BNI's responsiveness to our needs during the conceptual, design and construction stages enabled Florida State University to obtain a premiere multi-purpose facility.

Lawrence Rubin - Florida State University

I don't believe I have ever found an engineer easier to work with, or one who understands the language of Architecture as well. You have that special encompassing vision which breathes life into the creative process.

Milt Harry - MC Harry Architecture

[BNI] provided extremely thorough, logically thought-out, well coordinated designs. [They] often created simple construction solutions to complicated architectural problems…their work has consistently been at the highest professional levels in the industry.
