"Please consider this letter of recommendation written on behalf of Lyle Murtha. I have known and worked with Lyle on several commercial projects over the past ten years. In my thirty years of being in the business I have rarely worked with a more competent architect. We're always interested in participating in a project that he is involved with. With his projects we are assured that the project will be done correctly and that we will be treated fairly as a part of the team. I believe his knowledge of construction details and solutions to problems are superious to most architects. I have also had a chance to watch him work on Auto Cad and I am absolutely amazed at his speed and accuracy.

We have sat in on meetings with Lyle and an Owner during conceptual design. In my opinion, Lyle is one of the best as it relates to design and aesthetics. His projects have a signature without sacrificing cost. If I was an owner I would certainly want Lyle on my team..."
