How CDS helped...

• CDS met with the church leadership to assess the situation and offered to help pro-bono to protect them from making decisions under duress that they might later regret. We knew that the church needed time to heal before restarting the project.

• CDS helped the church work through their insurance coverage that required proper disposal of hazardous materials. Our CFO had previous experience in this area and was invaluable to the church in negotiations with their insurance company.

• CDS took over the demolition and cleanup earlier contracted by another company that was not following proper disposal guidelines.

• Our CFO is also experienced in proper presentation of organizational finances that not only gets higher approval ratios but also better interest rates and terms. We were successful in helping the church secure construction and permanent financing.

• Our design team designed a building that would be built in phases and reworked the existing site plan, which resulted in significant cost savings.

• The property was barely large enough to support the ministry's vision, but CDS helped maximize every square foot of space to satisfy the church's needs.

• We assisted in dealing with the insurance company, helped with demolition, secured financing, and designed and built their 20,000 SF facility on time and within the budget.
