Client Services Group

Owners, Managers and Operators of facilities


Within every market segment are faced with the need to complete small, mid, large scale building infrastructure improvements, replacements, and renovations. In nearly all instances, this work requires multiple trades, engineering services and significant project management. Our Client Services Group specializes in providing agile and comprehensive solutions to meet these exact needs, ensuring streamlined execution and successful project outcomes.

Since most of the required infrastructure work is specific to Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Controls or Life Safety, often the need for a General Contractor is limited so the project management responsibility falls on Building Managers and Operators.

Recognizing a gap in our service offering and within the industry in general, AMS began developing a strategy to fill this gap in 2015. Consequently, based on conversations with many of our clients, we formulated a proof-of-concept plan and collaborated with strategic clients to execute specific projects. Over time, continuously fine-tuning our strategy and processes based on client feedback and project-specific experiences, we worked diligently until we were confident that we had a strategy that would effectively fill this gap and align with the overall needs of our clients.

About the Client Services Group

In 2017, AMS formally enhanced our corporate structure by establishing a new business unit called the Client Services Group. This strategic move involved integrating our traditional service offerings and construction capabilities into one cohesive team. The primary mission of this newly formed group is to deliver owner/end user-centric project services. This structural change offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides a single point of contact for managing not only our clients’ traditional service requirements but also offers a streamlined approach to effectively and efficiently oversee their retrofit and construction projects. Whether the project is large or small, involves a single trade or requires full turnkey solutions, our team of dedicated professionals is equipped to provide tailored solutions that align precisely with our clients’ specific needs.

Within our Client Services Group, there is a dedicated leadership and support team that plays a pivotal role in providing collaborative and streamlined solutions. This team is instrumental in simplifying the often clumsy process of handling multi-trade project requirements, particularly when attention to detail, time, and cost are of paramount importance.
