What do our clients think?

I have worked with Greg over the past 2 years in his capacity as an owner’s representative for my parish’s (St. Austin Catholic Church) development project. I serve as the parish liaison on the project and have had the opportunity to work closely with Greg during this time. Greg has shared his knowledge in a professional manner helping our team envision the buildings we want to build. Greg is passionate about educational facilities and the role they play in forming our future leaders. He has participated with Austin ISD projects and has shared his knowledge with us so that we can benefit from their wisdom. Greg has worked with various players on our team: the Pastor, the school principal, various parishioners, outside legal counsel, representatives of the Diocese of Austin, our developer, and the architects, and the general contractor. He has displayed his professionalism, knowledge and ease of rapport with all these various audiences. He is an effective communicator, a great strategic thinker, and an effective negotiator. All of these have helped us achieve our objectives to date.

Patricia Dolese

Project Liaison St. Austin Catholic Church Parishioner

I see Greg acting as a community trustee on a regular basis as he has anchored much of his work in the education sector. It is unique to see an individual come in and work to understand the needs of the student and what the learning environment will mean to that student’s success. He thinks about the long-term impact of the physical space as he mitigates the project risks, value engineering of design and cost allocations to our side of the ledger. He understands that his work impacts the mission of St. Austin that includes student education, homeless outreach, social justice, faith and now a new mission of providing access to affordable housing for college students.
