Meet the new “Evolve Mechanical”

Smaller businesses within this great community continue to thrive and two key attributes that promote this growth are humility and willingness.

When these two attributes are coupled with an experienced and vested mentor, it allows for pure impact to take place.

Humility positions the mentee to receive guidance, insight, criticism, and direction from a source outside of their control. Willingness creates an atmosphere for active application of what has been shared.

This is exactly what took place with Reggie Clark, founder of the formally known company “Reggie’s Affordable AC Heating and Cooling”. 

As we began guiding him through the Beck Envision pursuit opportunities, we also shared with him the importance of establishing and building something bigger than himself. 

Your brand should represent the core of your beliefs. So that once it’s shared with the world, those who relate, will begin to connect and help advocate for your mission. 

This is where Reggie Clark connected with Envision’s very own, Gabrielle Howard. Through a series of conversations— pulling comments, responses and even personal testimonies from Mr. Clark—his new yet unique identity within the marketplace began to take form. 

After days of conversations, Evolve Mechanical was born. 

Evolve Mechanical is a family-owned business that specializes in residential and commercial HVAC services. They earned their humble beginnings in early 2006 with one service truck, one toolbox and one service/installer employee.

“Our company uses every opportunity to learn and grow so that we are constantly evolving. Because while change is temporary, evolution is constant.”

Reggie Clark-

BEPP ATL: This Moment Marks the Beginning of, New-Long-Term Partnerships

By Jeff Landefeld, Director of Preconstruction, The Beck Group, Atlanta

At the beginning of 2019, we shared news of our inaugural BeckEnvision Partnership Program kicking off in Atlanta. Now, we’re pleased to report that all five participating Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) firms graduated from the program.

A ceremony celebrating the graduation of firms South Fulton Landscape, Fresh Start Construction & Management Inc., EGM Services, H&M Restoration Services, and Pristine Cleaning Services of Georgia was hosted by our Beck Group team in Atlanta and our partner, Envision, to honor the milestone.

Representatives from each firm shared personal stories of what they learned and how the program is already impacting their business. Following the stories, Ben Bard, Regional Director of Beck’s Atlanta Office, and Envision Co-Founders Allen Greene Senior and Allen Greene II, awarded participants a special plaque to commemorate the accomplishment and experience.

To graduate, participants from the five firms met once per month to learn about topics like mission and vision statements, cash flow management, winning work, project execution, safety, contracts, and growth strategies. Classes were taught by experts from across our firm, Envision, and sometimes included guest speakers from thriving AEC-related firms in the Atlanta region.

The goal of the program is to give diverse companies the knowledge to grow their businesses, build networks, and develop relationships to pursue work with The Beck Group and similarly scaled construction managers. It was also crucial that we create a program which could lead to successful long-term partnerships.

In speaking to everyone in the room, Envision Co-Founder Allen Greene Senior aptly noted, “We’re not done. The journey is just starting. You have tools in your arsenal that you can take to move forward. You can strategically move through this journey and be successful.”

Beck-Envision Team Launch Atlanta-Based Mentorship Program: Building Stronger Communities, One City at a Time

The Beck Group, over the past 100+ years, has done more than design and build buildings; yet in fact, they’ve built communities. In Atlanta, one of the ways that The Beck Group has moved to continue this effort is through the newly-launched Atlanta-Based Beck-Envision Mentorship Protégé Program.

The goal of this seven-month mentorship program is to give diverse companies the knowledge to grow their businesses, build networks and develop relationships in order to pursue work with The Beck-Envision team; all with the purpose of creating successful long-term partnerships.

After successfully executing a similar mentorship program with the Beck team in Tampa, The Beck Group Atlanta saw fit for the Envision team to partner with them on this effort to ensure the success of developing MWBE firms in Atlanta.

Over the past six months, The Beck Group Atlanta has worked diligently on building their Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) outreach efforts; an effort that has stemmed from their genuine interest in building relationships that transcend the typical transactional interface. What the team at The Beck Group and Envision have in common, is our desire to obtain relationships that surpass the typical one-off contractual fee-for-service interactions. Instead, our team, together is striving for mutually beneficial partnerships where trust, faith in knowledge, shared risk taking, professionalism and sincere concern for one another drives the interaction.

After numerous interviews with Atlanta-based MWBE firms, the Beck-Envision team has identified a talented and enthusiastic group of firms with true partnership potential.

The seven-month program with participating protégés kicked off on Thursday, February 7th, where the Beck-Envision team, along with the program protégés had the great opportunity to start building relationships that, we hope, will blossom over the coming months.

The Atlanta Mentorship Protege Cohort will meet once a month and cover topics such as, mission and vision statements, cash flow management, project execution, contracts and growth strategies.

In short, community is the bedrock of our existence. At Beck-Envision, we believe that our diverse community should be well represented on all of our teams, share in the prosperity of our projects, and join us in celebrating successful project completions which shape the Atlanta skyline. We, the Beck-Envision team, see this program as means to that end.

Beck | Envision Introduce a Marketing Resource that Has the Power to Explode the Impact of our MBE Proteges

Today was a great day for the Beck | Envision Mentor-Protege Program (MPP). Our MPP is a program designed with one purpose in mind; Impact.

The Beck | Envision Mentorship Protege Program is unique to the Beck | Envision Partnership. During the program, Beck and Envision take what Envision has learned from Beck during our mentor-mentee relationship, paired with industry information relevant to working on Beck | Envision integrated projects, and we expose this information to the MBE’s who have been invited to participate in the program.  Once the MBE’s have successfully graduated from the Mentorship Protege Program, we immediately begin our active mentorship approach by involving them on Beck | Envision integrated projects.

The key to what creates real impact within our Mentorship Protege Program is our approach to Active Mentorship. True mentorship takes place only once a real relationship has first been established. It is through this genuine effort that one will possess the heart to care about the other individual enough to truly put forth the amount of time, resources and energy needed to help them gain the advantage, with no motive or personal gain involved.

To build on this, today we concluded a series of interviews with a powerful resource for our proteges.

Meet, Robert McNair.

Robert is the owner of a marketing and digital media company that provides small companies with world-class level marketing assets for print, social media, web, and even full web design and web development.

As a small business, though marketing is very important, it is sometimes not an expense that all small businesses are able to bear, for one reason or another. So, with that in mind, Robert and his team have decided to create custom monthly subscription packages for our proteges, which will equip their companies with items such as;

  • Full branding/rebranding systems with a fully loaded brand style guide,
  • Web design and development,
  • Print designs (Flyers, Business Cards, Stationary, etc.)
  • Graphic design services (Proposal packaging, large format prints and so much more)

Because of the heart that Robert has towards helping people, these items will be provided to our proteges at prices that are simply unheard of!

Understanding the power that great marketing can have on a company, we are truly excited about the amount of impact that we are getting ready to witness, and the next journey of growth for our proteges!

Beck | Envision meets with Revealing Truth Ministries about Starting on the Truth Dome

Pastor Bryan Powe meets with the Beck | Envision Team to discuss construction plans for their 200+ acre Truth Dome land.

Today, the Beck | Envision team met with Pastors Bryan and Rashida Powe, Senior Pastors of Revealing Truth Ministries, to discuss the new development plans for their 200+ acre property located here in Tampa Fl.

Revealing Truth Ministries Christian Center, founded by the late Pastor Greg Powe, is now being led by his son, the dynamically powerful, Pastor Bryan Powe.

Revealing Truth Ministries (RTM) is more than a building and more than a place to come together for church services throughout the week – It is a community of believers connected by a vision much greater than them; a vision of using the truth of God’s Word to restore families, neighborhoods and the city back to God; a vision of helping others to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, enjoy life and experience meaningful relationships with others. Ultimately, Revealing Truth Ministries is all about loving God and loving people.

RTM’s commitment to impacting the lives of the people in this city is reflected in their plans for the function and usage of the Truth Dome land. As they have been known for birthing powerful programs such as Embracing Legacy, The Joy of Giving Tampa, (which has now been proclaimed by Mayor Bob Buckhorn as the “Joy of Giving Tampa Week”, thanks to Pastor Greg Powe’s spiritual son Thaddeus Bullard and his involvement) and The Mighty Marching Lions (which will be featured in The Children’s Gasparilla Parade), this land will continue to inspire more disruptive programs just like the others and so much more. The land also looks to be the new home for the Revealing Truth Ministries Tampa Campus along with a few new innovative initiatives that will inspire new ideas that will birth new levels of growth of our city and the people in it.  

This church has some amazing plans for this property and we are honored to be apart of the story that will impact lives for generations to come!

Every new project that Envision embarks on presents another opportunity for our team to engage more of our Mentorship Protege Program protégés.

With the Beck Envision latest mentorship program class now far behind us, the class did a great job of equipping our team with an amazing set of qualified MBE’s who are able to come alongside us on not only one of our projects, but consecutively on all of our projects. Max Volmar, Owner of M&G Janitorial Services, is one of those qualified MBE’s.

Max’s professionalism, care and attention to detail, and his outstanding team are some of what continues to set him apart as a great company. In short, the quality of work that Max continues to bring forth on every Envision project that he has been a part of has been far beyond exceptional!

It’s a great feeling to know the amount of qualified MBE’s who are right here in our own community. Thank you, Max, for always delivering your best work on every project!

Beck | Envision Join the Walk against Heart Disease at the 2018 Tampa Bay Heart Walk

Last weekend, Beck and Envision came together, as one, in support of a common cause at the 2018 Tampa Bay Heart Walk. While some walked with an individual in mind, and others walked to raise awareness, the entire team gathered around Raymond James Stadium in our #StrongerTogether t-shirts to support this initiative against heart disease and stroke.

As we joined forces to walk, the families and loved ones of Envision and Beck joined in on our efforts as well. Then, after crossing the finish line, the Beck Envision team, along with our families, filled the grass lot adjacent to the stadium to enjoy a moment of fun, laughter, good food and great company.

Through the Envision Cares initiative, our goal at Envision is to continually support initiatives and community efforts such as these. It is our desire to ensure that the community in which we live in continues to receive the support that it needs in order to prosper and impact lives in a major way.

Partnerships Eliminate Weaknesses!

The partnership that we at Envision have with The Beck Group has given our team access to decades of knowledge, wisdom and experience in areas that have simply been unknown to us.

Because of this relationship and the passion that Beck has to help build people, there is no project we can’t take on together. From Aviation, Hospitality, Civic, Education, Healthcare and so much more, The Beck Group continues to extend their resources to the Envision team, providing us with the tools necessary to successfully execute our projects and better serve our clients.

During a recent walk-through the Envision team had for a project we are pursuing for our Commercial Flooring Division at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute on USF’s Tampa Campus, we had the opportunity of touring the site with one of Beck’s most knowledgeable team members, Kevin Reardon. Kevin’s experience, paired with his industry know-how, exposed our team to years of relevant experience in a practical way that taught us how to set up our job site for ICRA compliance.

It’s moments like these that reveal the influence a powerful partnership can have on a young and growing company when exercised with pure intent and genuine motive.
