As a consultant, I am able to combine my experience within the elevator industry to benefit any building owner, architect, or management firm as their industry expert and problem solver. I provide my clients value at the highest level by maximizing equipment longevity, managing contractor performance and solving system issues. Now with ATIS, our services range from system design, modernization planning, maintenance evaluation, and/or project management of any elevator, escalator, or any vertical transportation system project. ATIS provides mandated elevator inspection services as well for a full suite of consulting to maximize client return on investment in our services.
