Construction Consultants & Project Managers
Providing comprehensive project management and coordination of construction project activities, serving as an Owner’s Representative. We facilitate projects from consultant selection through design, bidding, and construction.
OUR STORY
The Pelorus Group was founded in 2022 by John Carson and Mike Eversole. John and Mike had spent nearly a decade working together before they each set out on their own to establish their own firms. They were quickly reminded that their skills still complimented each other and they were better together than independent. The Pelorus Group was born!
Our firm values "fair and ethical" above all else. These are words that are spoken constantly in our organization. We have found that our core values result in greater project success.
One of the most often asked questions is why we chose the name Pelorus. Well, a Pelorus is a navigational piece of equipment that allows the operator to set a bearing between two points allowing them to navigate successfully between them.
While a traditional compass identifies a direction like magnetic north, a Pelorus is just a guide to get between two places.
We see our role as the Owner’s Representative not pointing you in a fixed direction like a compass but rather guiding our clients from point to point, like a Pelorus, so that the project goals can be achieved efficiently and effectively.

AS THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE
We can come in at any phase of your project. From project inception to consultant selection through design and well into construction, we will help guide you and navigate through the process. You are the expert in your business; we are the expert in the design and construction business.
CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING
Do you just need a little advice about your construction project? Guidance on contracts? Review of change orders or schedules? Or is your building having a bad day and you need some help figuring out what is going on? The Pelorus Group has the experience to help you figure out what to do next.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING
You're growing! Now what? Let us help guide you through planning of your next major facility project. Whether its a minor upgrade or an entirely new facility, we have the experience to help get you there.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Our value engineering process is not simply a cost cutting exercise but rather looking for solutions that meet your programmatic needs and are less expensive, offer a more cost effective long term solution or reduces your operating costs.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEWS
Review plans and specifications to identify areas of missed scope or the inability to successfully construct the project. This review will help reduce coordination errors and the potential for cost increases during construction.
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE & FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Nobody likes to plan for building maintenance, well, maybe except for the Pelorus team. We can help you figure out what needs to be done to keep your facility in good running order. A little bit of planning goes a long way.
