Moving at warp speed, PMI engineered the space, contracted the building and installation, specified and secured the gear, and actually got the whole project completed in four days from start to finish. Here’s some of what we achieved in record time:   Completely reconstructed the right side wall with a resilient framing system.  Reconstructed the ceiling with a sound-isolat...
