What our Clients have to say

"I would highly recommend working with Sapp Design to meet your architectural needs. They have worked with the Monett R-I School District for 15 years leading the development of safe and viable facilities and grounds. During this time, they have demonstrated a commitment to quality service and have been both professional and personal with their feedback, suggestions, and support for the district. Their team of professionals has been wonderful to work with as they have led the development of our Master Facility Plan during the 2019/20 school year as well as numerous projects of various sizes during the partnership with the district."

"They did an amazing job of taking what had been a dream for many years and put it down on paper to become what is now a reality. The project currently is well under budget and expected to be completed on time for our students next fall."

"The team at SAPP is always professional, creative and responsive to the needs of our school district. The quality of work and communication is exceptional."

"Throughout our current project, Sapp Design Associates has been instrumental in assisting our district in the design and building process. We are fortunate to have their vision, knowledge and expertise to help us create a building that meets our current and future needs.”

"Our library system has over thirty buildings over three counties. We always seem to have a new project, a major repair or need a renovation. When that is not the case, then we need to plan for the next round of projects. Since we started working with Sapp Design Associates in 2006, we have found them to be willing to work with us, to try new ideas, and to help us be good stewards. It is important to provide a modern library experience for people to keep the library relevant. Sapp Design Associates allows us to determine a library-appropriate response for the needs of our community while keeping the construction and operating costs for our buildings in line with the public’s expectations."

"The Christian County Library has had a long term working relationship with Sapp Design Architects. In 2013 when I became the Executive Director and I found out Sapp Design was the contracted architect for the library, I could not have been more pleased. Their reputation and fantastic work precede them."
