Experts in Construction Program and Project Management to help you navigate the next steps in your growth

All Projects Start With the [Un]seen*

Our programs are designed to save you money through vision unity, strategic stewardship, creative ideas, project planning, statistical forecasting, and industry best practices.

We’ve led 100’s of commercial large assembly occupancy project from churches and non-profits to entertainment and mixed use through the process of planning and building facilities.

Research shows that construction projects hold risks beyond what funders, owners, and stakeholders are aware. We have navigated these waters hundreds of times and want you to understand the “Rules of the Game”. Let us us act as your advisor through the [Un]seen*.

From Vision to Completion we loved leading Fairway Christian Church through this project.

It began with a walk around with the elders and the BLT - then to a sketch of what might be possible - a budget, design partners and a builder - contract negotiations to construction - finally thematic artists and furnishings. All focused on a missional guest experience designed around God’s calling for this church.

Our Services

PRE-PROJECT STRATEGIC PLANNING

What should we build? How much can we afford? How many acres do we need? What are the current trends? How do we make sure we are' on the right track? There are so many questions to wrestle with in facility environment. We’ve guided hundreds of churches through this process and use data and expert experience to develop an exceptional and executable plan - not just a pretty picture in a file..

DESIGN-TO-BUDGET MANAGEMENT

Once the strategic plan is developed, we help you engage the right design, finance, and construction partners. We develop a “Total Project Budget Target” so you won’t be caught off guard or guessing if the numbers you get from trade partners are the right cost when weighed with the design intent and material quality.

OWNER’S CONSTRUCTION REPRESENTATIVE

Once construction begins we can act as your expert advocate, and your in house advisor. We know the “rules of the game” required by industry contract languages and help you navigate the ins and outs of construction. .

“Jesse was an incredible help and fresh voice to us, right when we needed it. We needed help seeing what we could not see, and dreaming bigger than we thought was possible. Jesse brought fresh perspective, a listening ear, and helped us take the best next step.”
