MVB Bank

MVB Bank -Charleston, WV

After establishing a strong presence primarily in Northern West Virginia, MVB made the bold move into West Virginia’s capital city of Charleston. This strategic move involved building a new showcase facility, that is energy efficient and state of the art, in a highly visible part of downtown Charleston.  Larry Mazza, President & Chief Executive Officer of MVB, wasn’t about to take any chances on the $6 million investment. 

“We’re accountable to our shareholders,” explained Mazza. “We couldn’t afford to not be on time and on budget with this project.” Towards that goal, Larry turned to Dave Pray and PrayWorks to serve as MVB’s owner’s representative. 

“I’ve known Dave and his deep level of building experience for over two decades and I knew I needed him to help us with this project.” – Larry Mazza 

Larry explained that Dave added strategic value throughout the entire process, from site selection, to vendor selection, to advanced delivery methodologies, that aligned the entire team. “Dave is about execution and excellent planning. He’s very process oriented and ensures the owner’s needs are a priority. You want Dave on your side, especially when dealing with a lot of vendors,” Larry added.

PrayWorks assisted MVB with the site selection, development management, and the full complement of owner’s representation services. A young, technically competent firm, MVB decided mid-stream to utilize a new technology called Automated Interactive Teller Machines (AIT). This caused the team to essentially turn on a dime, a move PrayWorks orchestrated with grace to keep time, money, and function in front of everyone.

Entrepreneurial leaders move quickly. Pray works with them to help them to provide a knowledgeable sounding board for their ideas and then executes with grace and precision those ideas that are deemed to be actionable.

All the projects and customers at PrayWorks are unique. They have special requirements we help isolate, and we keep the team integrated when forces might suggest disintegration is at hand.

“Perhaps best of all, Dave Pray ensured there were no surprises during this commercial building project. Dave’s communication and availability are just amazing. He’s a maestro.” – Larry Mazza
