Calbert Design Group, LLC

Calbert Design Group, LLC is an Architect in Kennesaw, GA. The firm specializes in new childcare center design and renovations of existing childcare centers, guiding business owners through the building construction process from initial concept to grand opening. The team provides impartial advice and clarity about the real estate development process, helping clients make confident decisions about their facilities.

The firm's services are deeply hands-on. They compare multiple locations by analyzing parcel size, geometry, zoning requirements, available utilities, local demographics, and project complexity. They share childcare business income data with clients, check codes, kid-counts, and playground areas to help verify a location's financial viability. Their work includes exterior facade design for curb appeal, managing the bidding process, attending weekly conference calls and monthly site visits, tracking schedules and costs, and verifying loan draw amounts. They organize vendors, service providers, and utility connections, and can even order furniture, arrange deliveries, and establish a business online. The firm has compiled years of zoning, design, and construction timeline data, as well as data from 4 years and 62 projects, to give clients a realistic picture of project timelines and costs. They also offer a step-by-step property development program, an online course and peer support group, as an alternative to hiring a real estate development manager. The firm's principal, Rebecca, brings 33 years of design and construction experience across private and public education, restaurant, retail, mixed-use commercial, multi-family housing, science lab, and storage building types, having worked with over 200 independent commercial building owners since the firm's inception. She has also published over 100 articles and 5 "Childcare Design" magazines, and authored the book "Building Your Daycare", which was ranked #1 in Commercial Real Estate on its first day of publication in December 2022. The portfolio includes projects like The Little House Learning Center, Happy Faces Academy, Primrose School locations, McKenna Farms Aquatic Center, and various religious and renovation projects.

The office is located at 2950 Cherokee St NW #600, just steps from the Bobby Grant Center Kennesaw Police Annex, about a tenth of a mile from The Artful Rabbit Bookstore and Art Studio, and within a quarter mile of the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History and Depot Park.
