Client Experiences
Tony and the entire CSC team were great to work with on the OPH Mental Health project. Tony was always responsive; weather it was a quick phone call or a trip to our office to go over things with me, I could always count on him to get the information I needed quickly. Controls work is so involved; there are so many moving pieces, but the field team was always working seamlessly with our team to keep the project moving along.

P1 Group
John Crownhart was incredibly responsive and produced outstanding work, and his entire team exhibited just as much confidence and professionalism. I really didn’t think the museum would be able to save that much energy, but once we began using the environmental index tool effectively, we saw some incredible results. Ultimately, the art was the customer and the right control systems are critical for preserving it. For me personally, I was so impressed with Control Service Company I took a job there!
Stan Chandler,
Former Director of Operations for The Nelson-Atkins Museum
The Control Service Company team was comprised of good, knowledgeable professionals who were always willing and available to make adjustments throughout the life of the project. Not only are they more responsive than our former controls contractor, they have a better understanding of facilities operations in general and how their services impact other aspects of a client’s business..

The graphic front of WebCTRL has made response times much quicker. It seems like such a simple thing, yet no one else is doing it. It’s red, yellow or green; it’s so easy to get it and then drill down into complicated detail as needed to resolve issues. Plus, I can access the information from anywhere and make adjustments. We’re a huge proponent of both Automated Logic and Control Service Company.
