For over three decades, the firm of SMA Architects has provided professional architectural services throughout the intermountain west. Founded by John D. McKittrick and Rick Schlenker, the firm is now lead by Jason M. Davis, Tim Meldrum and Klint Fisher who have carried on SMA’s client commitment to providing the best possible project, all while ensuring the process is enjoyable. Their renewed energy, combined with SMA’s incredibly talented staff, has allowed SMA to steadily expand over the past five years, including offices in Helena and Bozeman. SMA truly believes we are in the business of not only designing great buildings, but more importantly, building relationships with our clients. Our resume includes services for commercial, institutional, educational, historic preservation, medical, and department of defense projects, many of which manifest repeat clients. We emphasize an in-depth programming phase for each project identifying our client’s vision and needs as this is the foundation of a successful project. As stewards to the environment, our firm promotes sustainable building design and operation, using cutting edge delivery systems such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) to minimize unknowns and articulate solutions to our clients. We embrace an integrated design process and delivery between the construction disciplines, specialized consultants, and building contractors to achieve the most cost effective and timely solutions. Each client has different program requirements and budgets to guide our performance from project inception through construction administration, and continue long after owner occupancy. We are committed to our client’s satisfaction by providing excellent design, without exceeding the budget.
