Our Services
Collective Potential is a liaison between non-profit organizations and the world of design, construction, and development, providing owner representation, development support, and overall project management. The work includes a range of services including financial and developmental feasibility analysis, proforma development, and owners representation and project management.
Community Engagement
Utilizing the community engagement groundwork you’ve established with your organization or envisioning a new outreach process, we help develop a plan and timeline for integrating community and stakeholder input; deeply woven through the process from beginning to end.
Seeing the forest for the trees and seeing the path through to the other side,
we can get there together.
Project Oversight
Clear vision paired with comprehensive strategic planning helps you identify risks early and plan for them up front, to ensure your project stays on track and is set up for success. We are with you every step of the way, from first ideas about building ownership, to the day you settle in.
Assembling the Team
You don’t have to do it alone.
By first understanding your organization and culture, we'll assist you in assembling a team of skilled professionals tailored to your needs and aligned with your mission. These first steps include establishing a legal organization structure for your project that can accomplish your goals, taking into account the options for ownership structure, and how they impact the financing pathways you may be pursuing.
Project Management
Our services support all aspects of planning, design, construction and move-in. Skilled project management is crucial for the successful execution of any development project.
Collective Potential can provide expertise in project planning, scheduling, contracts, budgeting, pro formas, permitting oversight, construction oversight, and risk management to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget, and aligned with your organization’s mission and goals.
Strategic Fundraising Support
With our experience across multiple Capital Campaign projects, we can share our experience with funding opportunities. More importantly, our team will work to be sure that the project decisions made each step of the way align with your funding strategies to ensure compliance and to take advantage of opportunities.
We can also help with preliminary narrative development, graphic support, and graphic document production to support fundraising efforts, work with your team, or help you expand the team to include PR and graphics professionals.
Architectural Consulting
Establishing goals for your vision, we will work with your team to develop a building program that meets the needs of your organization's current uses and growth and use that to test-fit each property you consider.
We also review zoning and infrastructure/utility factors to understand the risks and opportunities of a property. These factors are instrumental in helping you determine which site is best for you. When it comes time to hire an architect, we help support your team in selecting a firm that fits your needs.
Pro Formas & Financial
Understanding the full financial implications of each decision is critical to the success of your project. The pro forma is the financial plan for your project and takes into consideration both the cost to get into a building, but also the long-term cost projections of owning it.
We can provide pro forma support beginning with an initial pro forma for each property you might consider, and continuing through the project to conclusion with more comprehensive and vetted pro forma versions as the project progresses.
