About Us
Our approach.
Extraordinary results come from extraordinary people who aren’t afraid to think differently. At CORE, you’ll find a culture where hard work meets genuine fun, where bold ideas are welcomed, and where your contributions directly shape our success and impact.
CORE Consultants, Inc.
After 25 years in the A/E/C industry, our founders experienced how complexity and scale could sometimes create distance—from clients, from purpose, and from the people doing the work. They envisioned something different. A company where relationships come first, where good work is done with good people, and where our craft could be practiced with clarity, integrity, and connection.
We’re for the problem-solvers. The curious. The ones who want to grow, take ownership, and be part of something that’s still evolving. We’re for those who not only want to build infrastructure, but also their careers, relationships, and a company that endures.
Our journey.
Blake Calvert
President & CEO
“CORE began with a simple belief: build a firm that could take on the big players without becoming one. I wanted a company built around people who move fast, think differently, and care deeply about what they build. When you put good people with different ideas in the same room—people who share values, grit, and an entrepreneurial drive—great things happen. Those values still guide us, but what’s made CORE stronger over time is our willingness to learn, adapt, and relentlessly improve.”
Heather Calvert
COO
"At the end of the day, it’s about showing up for our clients and doing what we say we’re going to do. Being a smaller, more nimble team isn’t just about moving fast. It’s about staying connected, responding when it matters, and genuinely caring about how things turn out. Our clients aren’t just project numbers to us, and we don’t treat them that way."
David Forbes
Principal
"We wanted to reimagine the environment where our work happens. CORE is a place where people are trusted, ideas move fast, and relationships matter. We keep things lean so our teams can stay focused on what they do best: solving real problems for real people."
Our mission.
CORE’s mission is to build community.
We believe great work starts with great people. We’re committed to creating an environment where our team feels valued, challenged, and inspired. That means fostering a culture built on honesty, respect, and transparency in everything we do, from client relationships to internal collaboration.
We invest in our people because we know that when they succeed, our projects do too. Every team member has the chance to grow, contribute meaningfully, and bring their passion to the table. We call this Living Your CORE, and it’s how we show up every day.
Our values.
CORE’s values aren’t just words on a wall. They’re the foundation of how we work, lead, and collaborate. They guide our decisions, shape our culture, and set the standard for how we show up every day. We hold ourselves accountable to these principles. They’re part of how we’re evaluated, how we grow, and how we build trust with each other and our clients.
