Incipio Consulting

The Incipio Strategic Process Incipio: Latin, meaning: to take in hand, begin, commence. Every building project, New, Renovation or Expansion, needs a team of professionals such as: • An Architect • Engineers • A General Contractor • An AVL Integrator • A Lender and/or Fundraiser • Others depending on the project The trick is knowing when and who you need and how to go about building a team The best approach is to hire a guide FIRST. Here is what this will do for you: • Reality-check the scope and impact of the project • Ask you questions that you might not have thought of and help you to answer them with certainty • Experience a process that allows your top leaders to deeply understand the need, count the real cost, and move forward together • Develop a realistic project budget with Alternates and Contingencies • Walk through an in-depth financial analysis that helps you understand what you can afford and how to best fund the project • Develop a practical pre-construction schedule with milestones and action steps • Learn how to build the right team of professionals to help deliver the project on time and on budget This information will help you gain trust with the congregation and stakeholders as you move forward. This approach will also save you time while allowing you to focus on ministry Spending a small amount of money now will save you time, money, and relationships later
