Role
Lead design→install (not a GC)
Custom Projects is where our operational depth shows most clearly — made-to-specification work that has to move cleanly across design, fabrication, logistics, and installation.
We lead it from initial scoping through final acceptance and stay the single contractual party throughout — responsible for schedule, quality, and budget. Fabrication runs through a curated network of vetted manufacturers and trade partners.
Made-to-specification work, coordinated across every trade it touches.

TI project-management layer
Tenant-improvement coordination, managed.
A service-specific sequence that is the detailed face of the Atrium Method — Discovery through Acceptance — applied to custom builds.
01 · Scope & Feasibility
Discovery — We review design intent with you and your designer, architect, or GC, assess site conditions and constraints, and confirm materials and feasibility before committing a number.
02 · Design Translation & Bid
Proposal — We turn intent into shop-ready specifications, bid the work across vetted trade partners, and issue a fixed fee, schedule, and written change-order framework.
03 · Contract & Fabrication Kickoff
Mobilization — Agreement executed and deposit taken; fabrication slots booked, shop drawings approved, and the schedule locked.
04 · Fabricate & Coordinate
Execution — We oversee fabrication across trades with QC checkpoints, manage logistics, and report written status weekly. Any change is priced and accepted in writing before work proceeds.
05 · Install & Accept
Acceptance & Handoff — We coordinate delivery and installation, walk the punch list against documented criteria, transfer warranties and documentation, and follow up at 30 and 90 days.
High-end residential clients on new builds and substantial renovations — often introduced through their designer, architect, or general contractor. Retail and hospitality operators building out spaces. Firms that need design translated into something built correctly the first time. A note on scope: Atrium is not a general contractor and holds no GC licensure. We lead design, fabrication coordination, and installation oversight at the project-management layer.
Are you a general contractor?
No. Atrium holds no GC licensure and takes no GC-scoped obligations. We lead design, fabrication coordination, and installation oversight at the project-management layer.
Can you work with my designer, architect, or GC?
Yes — that’s the common path. We translate their intent into something built correctly and stay the single accountable party for the build.
Who actually fabricates the work?
A curated network of vetted manufacturers and trade partners. You hold one relationship; we manage the rest.
How are changes handled?
Change-order discipline is non-negotiable. Any scope shift is written down, priced, and accepted before work proceeds.
How do I start?
The Custom Project Scoping engagement is a fixed-fee way to pressure-test feasibility and produce a build-ready scope — credited toward the project. See below.
A fixed-fee scoping engagement that turns an idea into a build-ready specification and schedule — credited toward the project if you proceed.
A discovery call is 20 to 60 minutes, at no cost. If we are the right partner, we tell you. If not, we tell you that too.
