Shepherding Success

Bento Steel

ShareBuilt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation established in 2022 by a dedicated group of AEC industry professionals. Feeling called to serve our communities and to leverage our collective industry experience, we created ShareBuilt to directly connect nonprofits in need of new and renovated facilities with professional AEC organizations seeking to meet such needs.

As we grow, we will continue to work with partners across all industries accomplishing projects for churches, schools, and community organizations. We are excited to be able to touch the lives of so many people and look forward to efficiently and effectively fulfilling project dreams by aligning needs with willing and able industry resources.

Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 1 Tim 6: 17-19

…. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. Luke 12:48

About Steve

Steve Kuhn

Founder & Executive Director, ShareBuilt
Founding Partner, Sevan Multi-Site Solutions

Steve is the Founder & Executive Director of ShareBuilt and a Founding Partner of Sevan Multi-Site Solutions in Franklin, TN, where he serves as an Executive Vice President and Board Member. A protégé of his carpenter father, Steve pursued a degree in Construction Management from the University of Cincinnati and created a highly respected 40-year long career building schools, hospitals, theaters, office buildings and retail projects nationwide.

Steve’s passion for philanthropic work has led him to support design and construction efforts for churches, schools, non-profits and individuals with building needs beyond their financial means. Steve recognized the vast chasm that separates those with daunting building needs from the hundreds of designers and contractors who generously give their time for such projects in their communities. That prompted Steve to launch ShareBuilt, a non-profit corporation established in 2022.

Serving as an elder of Christ Community Church and former Board Member for Barefoot Republic Camp for children, Steve believes an enormous impact can be made through a shared vision to build others up while building together. While the needs are great, Steve firmly believes the collective resources to help others through ShareBuilt are greater.
