K-12 Capital Project Consulting

Our Expertise

Great space is an inspiring environment for children

We help communities and school districts create K-12 spaces where students explore, learn, and grow.

Whether it’s the classroom, stage, or athletic field, your learning spaces should be safe, modern environments where students thrive. Maintaining this standard takes significant investment. As a trusted advisor to school districts large and small, we help align facilities to your district’s mission, budgets, and curriculum.

Your school district will benefit from our experience working as an owner’s representative and real estate consultant for billions of dollars of projects, including school renovations and additions, new school construction, and real estate projects. But long before a shovel hits the ground, we begin with thoughtful planning: accurate enrollment projections, thorough facility utilization and condition assessments, and comprehensive budget and financial planning.

Let us help you shape your school district’s vision and bring it to reality. Contact our experts today!
