Addenbrooke Classical Academy
Thank you for your professionalism, leadership, and guidance on this time-sensitive project. The priority you placed on this project ensured we met the construction deadline before high school students returned. It was reassuring to know you were on top of the project . Your communication was terrific, always keeping me in the loop, whether construction or budgetary. Your hard work and dedication to this project ensured we delivered a new high school for Addenbrooke Classical Academy families on time, and I am grateful for that.

Drew Kraft is a pleasure to work with. Drew approaches projects in a fair way to all stake holders. He pushes back on us in a professional way when needed but is always willing to talk through things in a calm, knowledgeable and professional manner. I just wanted Holland to know they are well represented. Many times, with Owners reps you don’t hear anything unless it’s a dogfight, so I wanted to be sure I shared my thoughts on his approach.

We used Scott and Drew to help us with an owner occupied property that needed extensive build out and coordination. They came highly regarded from a friend and lived up to all expectations. We knew we would not have the time, or expertise to manage the project alone and looking back I am not sure how we would have been able to do it without them. They helped us coordinate hiring and monitoring all of our professionals, managing our budget, overseeing the project, staying organized, and anything else we needed them for. They were honest, timely, diligent, and fun to work with. They fulfilled all the items they said they would and did so in a timely manner. We noticed throughout the project the numerous instances in which they saved us way more money than they cost us (not including the value of our time). We were satisfied throughout the project, and are so happy that we used them. I hope to use them again on a future project. Highly recommend if you are contemplating any outside help on real estate projects.

Development Advisors helped Mission Hills with all aspects of our relocation project: The sale of our 65-year-old church property, the locating and buying of a new property, acquiring temporary rental space, selecting an architect, providing owner’s representation with the builder, being active on a weekly basis in building committee meetings, keeping costs down and project timely, being highly involved in acquiring funding, finding the best pricing on all equipment and finally helping to move us into the new facility. They helped to save us time and money. It was a pleasure working with them.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Honest, Straight foward, Expertly Skilled, Practiced, Reliable Godly Men are the words that come to mind in describing the Development Advisors team…Having worked with DA over several years and multiple project phases, I can truthfully say there is nothing about our relationship and that experience I would change. To me, that says it all!
Randy Wade, Crossroads Community Church Building Committee
Stapleton Fellowship Church
We were and are were very happy with our relationship with Development Advisors. They took great care of us during our building renovation project a few years ago. From the real estate transaction to the completed project, they walked with us the entire time with professionalism and competence.
I would NEVER tackle a project of this size without a project management team – and DA would always be my choice. Sometimes in the process I felt like DA was the only one representing the church’s best interest. That’s what they care about….not if the architect is happy or the contractor – but the needs and wants of the client. Also, I would ONLY have an independent project manager. Not one provided by the architect or the contractor. You need someone independent, on your side, like Development Advisors.
We highly recommend their services.

Grace Place Church
Development Advisors (DA) has been an invaluable coach in the whole process of relocating the Grace Place church campus.
The process began with strategic planning that documented our history, vision, and potential. DA assisted us in carefully evaluating several different options including renovating an existing building in a nearby city and expanding on our current site. After this thorough research was complete, we made the informed decision to buy 19 acres and build a multi-phase campus.
DA has coached us at each stage with property negotiations and acquisition, selecting and leading a building team, evaluating and selecting financing, selecting and negotiating contracts with architects and contractors, on into construction supervision.
DA's Principals bring unique strengths which complement each other and provide not only many years of experience, but also a Christian commitment that comes through in the way they perform their work. I’ve come to count them as friends as well as competent professional advisors.
