“Atmos always provided deliverables within requested timeframes, even when very short turnaround. Atmos always closely monitored and ensured delivery of the monthly reporting from subcontractors/consultants.” “Atmos was very responsive and organized with respect to their scope of work. Atmos always took time to educate Children's on certain aspects of DSLBD, First Source, Davis Bacon, etc. Atmos also provided detailed summary reports at various stages of the project allowing Children's to make informed decisions. These reports will serve Children's well when documentation is needed in the future.”

“The project was a complete success, and really, I owe that success to one of our partners, Atmos. It makes what I do, coming to work every day, just that much easier.”

“Atmos was truly exceptional in terms of compliance to ensure the project met all (DSLBD, DOES, First Source, etc) requirements. Atmos is extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and went the extra mile to not only communicate, but also enact recovery plans if/when needed with Turner. I enjoyed working with Atmos and look forward to the next opportunity to do so…”
