Client Success
I have been very happy with the level of services provided by the KJA team. They employ experienced and highly specialized consultants with excellent market knowledge and unmatched technical competency. The KJA team has been a pleasure to work with and is committed to ensuring best value for us.

Currently, the ATIS team have consulted on four (4) elevator modernizations for me and my organization with total costs in excess of $4M. Through these experiences, I’ve grown to realize that Dave Hardin (and his team) embodies the very definition of the word expert. His knowledge of elevator code and equipment surpasses anyone’s I’ve spoken to on the topic. This fact, along with the knowledge that ATIS has no fiscal interest in the equipment or vendors we use, gives me confidence that the recommendations and specifications they provides are always in my organization’s best interests. The expertise, attention to details, accessibility, budget mindfulness, and gregarious personality assures ATIS will be our go to consultants for the foreseeable future.

I wanted to also say a few things about the role KJA played in our elevator’s improved performance since l joined the elevator meetings and board of directors in 2018. Thanks to KJA for the continued collection of important data, analysis, valued opinions and helping us advocate for a safe reliable elevator service at our site. We look forward to not only maintaining this kind of performance but to continually improve our elevators to keep optimal safe operating conditions and ensure our residents are genuinely happy with the service provided.

I have engaged the services of KJA Consultants many times over the last 20 years for contract negotiations, traffic studies, retrofits and general condition inspections and have found them to be professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. With the complexity of elevator systems and equipment and industry regulations it’s critical to have the services of a good elevator Consulting Firm and I’ve found KJA’s services to be invaluable over the years. Their fees are reasonable and I have found that many times the results they achieve more than cover the fees particularly with contract negotiations. I am happy to recommend KJA to any company looking for the services of a good elevator consulting company.

The engagement & resolution has been swift, spot on and already saved our properties well into the $6 figures for the corrections.

I would like to provide my account feedback using ATIS as your elevator inspection company over the last several years. The account team is amazing! The response time to any emails as well as their follow up with my account team and elevator provider’s is second to none. Managing the elevator program for the client would be impossible without ATIS. Their industry knowledge is impressive. We have been able to provide the client large savings on vender quotes for repairs several times utilizing ATIS as a 3rd part in the quote process. The savings have paid for the service the last two years. I highly recommend ATIS to any company needing to manage elevators.
– Tom Cayia, JLL
The level of customer service that we have experience from ATIS’s field inspector’s, management staff, and back office support team, has been above reproach. They are friendly, helpful, and always professional. It is my opinion that no other company in the elevator inspection industry offers the level of innovation and expertise as does ATIS and I highly recommend them to any company, government entity or AHJ looking for a quality solution for their conveyance inspection program.
