Our Team

Meet the founders behind Build Gravity

Jason Deichert - Founder & CTO

Jason Deichert

Founder & Implementation Lead

Before BuildGravity, Jason built healthcare software at Phreesia, where he led AI adoption for his team. His systems process millions of patient records for hospitals like R1, OneOncology, and Ascension. One product he built handles $50M in patient payments every year.

At BuildGravity, he personally implements every client engagement. Data migration, system configuration, team training. He believes in understanding problems deeply, building for the long term, and iterating with the experts and users who know what actually matters.

He saw AI making things possible that weren't before. Organizations could finally solve their biggest constraints without deploying comprehensive systems they didn't need.

James Banks - Founder & COO

James Banks

Founder & Product Lead

Jamie is a registered architect (AIBC, RAIC) who led project teams delivering $750M in construction value at Human Studio, including BC Housing's Rosewood Masterplan and projects for Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards. He co-founded Banks Architecture, helping businesses navigate architecture, permitting, and licensing across the Lower Mainland.

He explored many software options for Banks Architecture, but none of them truly fit. He co-founded BuildGravity to build something better.

He realized this problem exists across many industries. With AI making custom solutions feasible, organizations could finally get software built for their actual operations.

Christa Montpetit - Founder & CEO

Christa Montpetit

Founder & Client Success Lead

Christa brings 17 years of experience in liquor licensing and hospitality consulting to BuildGravity. She founded Blue Diamond Hospitality, which she blended into Banks Architecture as a natural evolution of her work.

She's an expert in navigating complex multi-level permitting and licensing requirements. Her professional relationships with officials across BC and Canada are a key part of her success.

At BuildGravity, she ensures every client is supported through their journey. From onboarding to ongoing partnership, she brings professionalism, persistence, and dedication to making complex processes work.

Our Mission

Remove friction so your team can focus on high-value work.

We built Build Gravity because we lived the problem. Our founders have delivered $750M in construction projects, navigated 17 years of complex permitting, and built enterprise healthcare systems. We know what operational chaos looks like—and we know what it takes to fix it.

Our Vision

Software should fit how you work, not force you to change. Generic tools create workarounds. Custom solutions cost too much. We bridge that gap—building systems tailored to your operations at prices that make sense.

Our Approach

  • Done For You: We handle setup, migration, and training. You don't touch a settings page unless you want to.
  • Built For Your Workflow: We configure systems around how you actually work. Not the other way around.
  • Real Support: Questions get answered by the people who built the system. No ticket queues. No chatbots.
  • Ongoing Partnership: Monthly check-ins to make sure everything's working. We adapt as your business evolves.

Our Mission

Remove friction so your team can focus on high-value work.

We built Build Gravity because we lived the problem. Our founders have delivered $750M in construction projects, navigated 17 years of complex permitting, and built enterprise healthcare systems. We know what operational chaos looks like—and we know what it takes to fix it.

We're operators who build software, not software builders learning your industry. Our team includes a registered architect who led project teams for BC Housing and Seaspan Vancouver Shipyards, a licensing specialist who became Vancouver's go-to expert for hospitality permitting, and an engineer who built healthcare systems at Phreesia serving major hospital networks.

When we build for you, we bring that experience. We understand the constraints. We've been in your shoes.

Our Vision

Software should fit how you work, not force you to change.

For decades, businesses have been stuck between two bad options. Generic SaaS tools that don't fit their operations—forcing workarounds, manual processes, and endless spreadsheets. Or custom development that costs six figures and takes forever.

We bridge that gap. With AI, we can finally build software tailored to your specific operations at prices that make sense. Not one-size-fits-all. Not forcing your business to adapt. Software that actually fits how you work.

This matters most for firms with complex workflows. Project tracking that spans multiple teams. Proposals that need to match your specific processes. Permits and milestones that can't fall through the cracks. These aren't problems generic SaaS solves well.
