"What sets Beers & Hoffman apart from other excellent design teams is their strength in communication. They were outstanding in laying out concepts and defining the decisions that were needed to a committee of church members who were limited in their understanding of construction. Scott Shonk and Bob Beers, as the project leads, made it clear through their actions that they were personally committed to making our renovation succeed. It was a level of customer responsiveness that is seldom seen anymore but one that really contributed to making it all happen"

"I’ve enjoyed working with Bob Beers, Bob Hoffman and the rest of the Beers and Hoffman team for over 20 years. We’ve done public bid, private bid and design/build projects from churches to factories, community centers to office buildings and one of the most beautiful little libraries I’ve ever seen. As a construction manager that specializes in bringing in large projects at low costs, I appreciate the willingness of Beers and Hoffman to design what’s best for the project, not to some abstract ego goal. On the other hand, I also appreciate that they will strongly make their case for quality design and are willing to push try to find the highest and best use for a facility.
In short, it’s a pleasure to work with Beers and Hoffman. We created some beautiful, cost effective projects together…and we’ve had fun getting them done."

“Of all the projects I’ve been involved with over the 34 years I’ve worked in the district, this was the smoothest for L & I and PlanCon approvals. I would not hesitate to recommend Beers & Hoffman to other school districts. The project was completed on budget and we had a good team to work with.”
Glenn Achey, Director of Business Affairs
Cornwall-Lebanon School District, Lebanon, PA
“Bob Hoffman and Scott Shonk came to our project planning meetings with a unique, open and supportive approach. They were tremendous listeners and ‘idea generators’ who took the needs of all staff and made them happen in an innovative but educationally sound way. Bob and Scott always put people first and that is what made the project so successful. I had always heard, from other principals, the nightmare and horror stories they experienced with their renovation and building projects. But I truly enjoyed the building project experience, and working with Bob and Scott. The success of the project hinged on the tremendous mix of people who came together to work together to solve all the challenges in a positive way.”
Chuck Kindt, Principal
Cornwall Elementary School, Cornwall, PA
“The Beers & Hoffman design team related to our school team on both a personal and professional level. The product and process was a wonderful experience.”

Karen Mailen, Executive Director
Lititz Community Center
"I needed to preserve, and restore and Bob Hoffman did his homework to get us what we were looking for! I think your team has been unbelievable in every aspect of this project... I would never want to deal with another firm after this experience, and that's evident with as much repeat business that you get! "
Bill Kolovani, President
Lebanon Landmarks, Inc.
"Some church architects have made a name for themselves by
designing the most unique forms ever seen. Calvary voted for Bob
Beers, who was more interested in designing forms that met the
needs of the 70 church leaders who defined our functions. Beers
designed more churches than anyone we interviewed. He understood
our needs for worship, music, education, administration and missions."
Paul R. Hollinger, Chairman, Facilities Relocation Committee
Calvary Church, Lancaster, PA
"We
waited a long time to be relocated. Our offices were previously
in the basement level of Good Samaritan Hospital. We were thrilled
to learn that not only were we being relocated, but that we would
be working with Bob Hoffman. We are very pleased with the project
and thankful that Bob was able to maintain the elegance of this
stately house in the manner that Dr. Weyland would have wished.
This project is a dream come true."
Linda Starry, Director of Employee Relations
Weyland House, Good Samaritan Hospital, Lebanon, PA
"As
final close-out at Engle Printing becomes reality, I want to express
our gratitude for the cooperation, assistance and direction we
received from you and your firm relative to all aspects of this
project. I am sure you will agree that the project was quite a
challenge, presenting its own unique opportunities to test the
abilities and fortitude of both the design and construction team
members. We believe the results are a testament to teamwork defying
adversity. We enjoyed the opportunity to share the experience
with you."
John Eck, Jr., Vice President
Murry Construction Associates, Inc., Lancaster, PA

the construction on our facility winds down, I want to take the
time to express my appreciation for your contribution to our project.
I am particularly pleased that you have been a part of our project.
Many persons have been commenting on the excellent design of our
new facility and in our first Sunday in the new sanctuary the
evidence of their enthusiasm abounded! Your commitment to our
project and your attention to detail and professionalism is appreciated.

lovely library.”
Nancy Dyrness, Quarryville Library Building Committee Member
Quarryville Library, Quarryville, PA
"It
was a pleasure working with your firm on our project. We felt
especially fortunate to have worked with project architect Bob
Hoffman, AIA, on the design of the new library. Bob listened to
our community and quickly responded with a design that met all
of our needs and complimented the architecture of the surrounding
community. We have received nothing but wonderful comments about
the new facility from not only local residents but individuals
from other states as well. I have been the Director of the Library
for 20 years, and have always envisioned a building like this
for our community. This facility has exceeded our expectations
and is truly the building of my dreams!"
Donna Hammond, Past Director

to contain costs and at the same time provide design for a quality
product. Comments from residents have been very favorable which
speaks very loudly for the design and functionality of the building.
The success of Garden Spot Village to date has exceeded everyones
expectations. Thank you Beers & Schillaci [Beers & Hoffman]
for helping that to happen."

“Beers, Schillaci & Hoffman
[Beers & Hoffman] have provided knowledgeable and responsive
architectural services to the Hospital for main campus and off-site

their services to lead and assist in developing a Master Facility
Plan update to identify future options to meet our growing services
and facility needs. We are extremely impressed with the firm’s
creative design capabilities, knowledge of healthcare Life Safety
requirements and quick turnaround of project design drawings.
