“It felt like the time was right to set out on my own, and I wanted to build something new. But running a business is very challenging. I knew from the start that I could not do it alone. CVG gives me a team dedicated to the success of my firm. It is a strategic advantage.”

“We know we must constantly be improving our firm. That includes improving the way we’re running our business. The CVG partnership gives us a wide range of resources that would be difficult for us to secure in their independent categories.”

“When we came across CVG, we were truly surprised to find a consulting group that covered all of the items on our to-do list. It was all the more surprising that their sole focus was small architecture firms like ours, with many architecturally trained people in their group. It seemed almost too good to be true. It felt like we found a unicorn...and working with them so far has been excellent.”

“CVG was instrumental in helping High Plains Architects secure new work that we really wanted. In the past year, we had a string of rejections for projects for which we were the most qualified candidate. CVG strategized with us on how to understand the owner’s interest and how to most effectively present our skills and interest. And we got the job!”
