Building Purpose: Connecting AEC with Nonprofits - Steve Kuhn, ShareBuilt

Key Points

• Nonprofits often underestimate the complexity and cost of construction projects, including site development and regulatory compliance, which can lead to significant financial and logistical challenges.
• Engaging with knowledgeable advisors early in the planning process can help nonprofits avoid common pitfalls, optimize existing spaces, and make informed decisions about project delivery methods.
• Building strong relationships with the business community, including architects, engineers, and contractors, is crucial for nonprofits to successfully execute capital projects and ensure that the mission and impact of the organization are effectively communicated and supported.
