Development Consulting & Project Management
We help people who want to build or develop property bridge the gap between their vision and execution.
Jon Tyler Akers
Developer, consultant, and project leader with deep experience in residential construction and development.
Jon Tyler Akers founded Akers Development to help people navigate the complex world of residential building and real estate development. With years of hands-on experience in construction, development planning, and cost management, he recognized a fundamental problem: most people who want to build or develop property lack the knowledge, connections, and cost insight to do it efficiently.
Traditional general contracting models charge significant markups that inflate project costs. Akers Development offers a different approach — providing developer-level guidance, construction resource access, and project coordination through a consulting fee structure rather than a traditional contractor markup.
Whether you're a first-time homebuilder, a landowner exploring development, or an investor looking to enter the residential market, Jon and the Akers Development team provide the strategic planning and cost transparency you need to move forward with confidence.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap
Many people want to build a home or develop property but don't know where to start. They face a construction industry where costs are opaque, contractor markups are significant, and the development process feels inaccessible to anyone outside the industry.
Akers Development exists to change that. We provide the same level of knowledge, planning, and resource access that experienced developers use — but we make it available to landowners, investors, and first-time builders who want to take control of their projects.
Our clients pay a development consulting fee for our guidance and coordination rather than absorbing a traditional general contractor's markup on every aspect of the build. The result is greater cost transparency, more informed decision-making, and better project outcomes.
