Materials are sourced both locally and internationally and its one of their unique selling points. I get referrals from everywhere, when people need a studio, people like Don jazzy, 9ice to name a few, just tell them to call "Femi" and that's it.
I work closely with Bankuli, Don Jazzy, sound engineers, producers, Artistes, Record label owners.
According to the CEO of Femi O Acoustics, most of his contracts like was earlier are referrals, some people don't even meet him physically, they send videos of their space and he comes up with accurate quote before commencing work.

"For young people venturing into studio soundproof Industry, honesty is a virtue.
I sometimes work with Middlemen, who get contracts directly from clients, I don't talk to their clients, even my employees wear a different uniform for this kind of job. They will just wear a jacket with the inscription "Acoustics", but, when the job is ours directly, they were our "Femi O Acoustics" inscribed jackets.
For trainings and mentoring, I am not open to that yet as people think the training fee is high, the truth is he is booked and busy. This is something we hope to organize sometime in the future.
