  • "A very professional, diligent and passionate team. I would without a doubt recommend Byer planning for other organizations. A small friendly team that produces big results."

    Village of Arcade, NY

  • "Byer Planning provided exceptionally good service on our graphic design project, creating a compelling document with good layout and design, multiple custom maps, photo simulations, and cross sections drawings. The work was timely, quality excellent and the final cost was under budget."

    Tim Young, Wyoming Pathways

  • "Perhaps the wisest decision that I made to complete our ambitious Saratoga County community forest project was to hire Byer Planning. Laura was a consummate professional and a true collaborator. Byer Planning provided essential support in coordinating with vendors, contractors, public entities, conservation partners and community stakeholders. I was impressed with Laura’s attention to detail, strategic approach to complex and at times tasks, and her outcome based approach to project management. Most importantly, this work was done with grace, diplomacy and precision at every step. We thank Laura for navigating this legacy project to the finish. We would not have completed this project on budget and on schedule without Byer Planning."

    Ethan Winter, Wilton Partners

  • "I would absolutely recommend Byer Planning to anyone who is looking for help preparing high quality planning documents, maps, presentations or other such materials. Working with Laura was a pleasure; she is professional, meticulous, and creative. Her services are very reasonably priced."

    Katherine Dowson, Friends of Pathways

  • "Our experience working with Byer Planning was extremely positive. Their professionalism, consistent communication, and collaborative approach greatly contributed to the success of our project. I would highly recommend Byer Planning to other organizations seeking high quality planning services."
