What Our Clients Say:
NMS were able to provide the vibration monitoring solution we needed for our demolition project. We were impressed with the technology and the professionalism in their work.
The acoustic blankets we installed were very high quality and manufactured to the exact custom measurements and grommet patterns we ordered. We have not “heard” a single complaint since the conclusion of the project.
When we needed an acoustical consultant to help us on a complex CEQA study, the NMS staff went above and beyond to ensure we completed the study on time. We look forward to working with them in the future.
