Planning, Design, & Capital Investment Management

At Canopy Team, we take care of the details so organizations can focus on their everyday business operations. Integrating directly with leadership teams on venue-based projects, we act as the internal planning, development, and financial management department, translating organizational strategic visions and objectives to architects, engineers, designers, CFOs, and consultants engaged on projects.
