In what states are you licensed?

MerJ works on projects across the United States and overseas. We are licensed in many states and have NCARB Certification, which means we can quickly and easily get licensed in most states as project needs demand.

What are the biggest challenges facing the cannabis industry?

In our experience, incomplete teams, inefficient facilities, and short-sighted planning wind up leading to big wastes of time and money. Our team approach to facilities design brings the knowledge, consultation, and guidance you need to get built and licensed quickly and avoid the traditional industry pitfalls.

What is your fee structure?

Fee structure will depend on project size and complexity, as well as site context: existing building, new construction, or hypothetical location.
