Division Two

Project Management

Our Specialty: Certificates of Occupancy

Without a valid Certificate of Occupancy, a congregation can face violations, stalled financing, and limits on how it uses its own building. We specialize in getting churches legal: managing the plans, permits, inspections, and sign-offs to obtain your C of O. As your church construction manager, we coordinate church architects, church audio design, engineers, and contractors, overseeing cost, code, and timeline on any church renovation or expansion.

  • Certificates of Occupancy: new, amended & temporary (TCO)
  • Building legalization & code compliance
  • Permits, inspections & violation resolution
  • Budget & contractor oversight for building committees
  • Coordination with church architects, engineers & builders
  • Church audio design, sound, lighting & AV systems

Division Three

Real Estate Strategy

Your property is one of your greatest resources. As church real estate consultants, we teach congregations and nonprofits how to maximize the property they already own — increasing revenue and deepening community engagement — and guide you through church property development, leasing church space for income, land use, and zoning along the way.

  • Revenue & community-use planning for existing property
  • Zoning applications & variances
  • Transaction & contract review for church property
  • Leasing & shared-use income: daycares, schools, events & parking
