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.

As a partner to Liberty, now ATIS, their team of expert consultants have visited many of our Hotels to assist with due diligence, asset management, modernization and new construction. We have been very pleased with their exceptional level of knowledge, project management and professionalism. In addition, ATIS teams across the portfolio handle hundreds of elevator company improper scope proposals or billing for work that is covered under our service agreements. The engagement & resolution has been swift, spot on and already saved our properties well into the $6 figures for the corrections.
