For leaders responsible for high-stakes construction decisions.

Owners and executives are often asked to approve budgets, contracts, schedules, changes, and project decisions without being construction experts.

Common needs:

• Project clarity

• Budget confidence

• Proposal or invoice review

• Schedule and scope understanding

• Team selection

• Second opinions

• Active project meeting support

• Closeout or post-project review

For business owners building, renovating, expanding, or recovering from construction challenges.

You are an expert at building your business. When it is time to build, renovate, or expand your physical space, you deserve construction expertise at the table, too.

A construction project can affect operations, cash flow, employees, customers, growth, and the legacy you are building. Cotie Consulting helps business owners understand what is realistic, what may disrupt the business, which decisions need to be made, and how to avoid unnecessary confusion, delays, or cost.

Whether you are planning a new space, improving an existing one, managing a project that has become difficult, or preparing for the next phase, Cotie Consulting helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Common needs:

• It is time for a new space – where do you start?

• New construction planning

• Contractor or architect selection

• Schedule and occupancy planning

Board-led and mission-driven organizations often need to explain construction decisions to people who are not part of the day-to-day project team.

Cotie Consulting helps boards, committees, donors, and leadership teams understand the project need, budget, risks, schedule, and options in clear, nontechnical language.

Common needs:

• Board briefings

• Board education on project and contract types

• Committee support

• Capital project communication

• Donor or stakeholder explanation

• Funding request support

• Project narrative development

• Budget and scope translation

• Confidence before approving major decisions

For mission-centered spaces where the project has to serve people well.

Schools, churches, and community organizations often carry unique stakeholder needs. The space must work for leadership, staff, members, families, students, visitors, donors, and the broader community.

Cotie Consulting helps these organizations define what they need, communicate why it matters, and make construction decisions that align with the mission and the people who will use the space.

Common needs

• Being a steward of your funds

• Early project definition

• Must / want / dream planning

• Budget and fundraising communication

• Stakeholder alignment

• Team selection

• Construction education for committees

For project teams that need better communication with the owner or stakeholder group.

Sometimes the technical team understands the work, but the communication with the owner is not landing. Expectations are unclear. Personalities are mismatched. The owner, user group, board, or executive team needs a different kind of explanation.

Cotie Consulting can help bridge that gap.

Common needs:
