MJM Architects

What MJM Architects does

MJM Architects is a national architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 1985 and 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan since November 2023, the firm maintains professional licensure across all 50 US states and Ontario, Canada, with a 65+ person staff organized around seven in-house disciplines: architecture, interior design, graphics, and structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical (SMP&E) engineering. Following its March 2025 acquisition of Entech Engineering and February 2026 acquisition of Saorsa Architecture, MJM operates as an integrated architecture-plus-engineering platform capable of delivering design services nationwide.

The company's core offerings span Architecture Services, SMP&E Engineering (via its Entech division), Interior Design, Prototype Design, Graphic Design and 3D/VR Visualization, and Master Planning. Its technology stack centers on integrated design delivery in which in-house architecture is combined with structural and MEP engineering to enable seamless project coordination rather than distinct proprietary software products. Prototype portfolio design is a recurring capability, particularly for national retail clients requiring consistent design across multi-location rollouts.

MJM generates revenue on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with multi-year client engagements, paid primarily through direct enterprise relationships rather than resellers or referral intermediaries. Vertical concentration is heaviest in retail and restaurant chains, with additional exposure to banking, healthcare, entertainment and experiential venues, fitness, and industrial/logistics. Named enterprise clients include Dollar General, Best Buy, Tractor Supply Co., Tesla, Starbucks, Panera Bread, 7-Eleven, Dick's Sporting Goods, Planet Fitness, The Escape Game, and FedEx Ground. The firm maintains an active blog (The MJM Perspective) and community involvement program as supporting marketing channels, with its portfolio and client referrals functioning as the primary demand-generation mechanism.
