Thanks for all your great work ... the impact cannot be understated. Your leading our team through the process and end result was exactly what I had hoped for.

Robert Feldbauer AVP Facilities, University of Cincinnati Health
This is the first time the City has ever done anything like this. The FOS team was full of knowledge, and we learned from them. We appreciate everything they did for us.

Janet Timko Facilities Manager, City of Greeley
The FOS team did a tremendous job on our long-term maintenance plan. The best thing about working with them is that they are invested in the relationship. It is not just about the work.

Bob Ehrlich Director of Facilities & Plant Operations, A.T. Still University
We are thrilled with our assessment, which allows us to develop our capital plan, prioritize or rehab work and address immediate facility concerns. If only I knew what I know now, I would have contracted with FOS years ago.
