When embarking on a capital project, mission-driven organizations need more from an owner’s representative than simply design and project management. You need a partner who cares about your mission, is capable of involving diverse stakeholder groups and is aware of the multitude of issues that are impacting your organization and the project. Our experience working with service organizations including the Chicago Botanic Garden, Joffrey Ballet, and the University of Chicago brings a deep understanding of the unique opportunities and challenges that these institutions face when embarking on a capital project. Your project is more than blueprints and hard hats… it’s a vision for the future that requires the enthusiasm of stakeholders and constituencies. Fundraising is often critical, as is collaboration and accountability among the building team to optimize project quality, budget and schedule.
