What Paragon 360 does

Paragon 360 is a privately held, turnkey design-build firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, specializing in the integrated design, fabrication, and installation of professional audio, video, lighting (AVL), and rigging systems for houses of worship, performing arts venues, corporate entertainment spaces, healthcare facilities, and themed attractions. The company's signature offering combines AVL systems integration with custom scenic and architectural fabrication, acoustical treatments (including proprietary FabriTRAK systems), custom motorized rigging, interior design, and auditorium seating. A core differentiator is the proprietary modular construction methodology, in which architectural and scenic elements are fabricated offsite at the company's 2855 S Kansas Expressway production facility and delivered as ready-to-install components while on-site general construction proceeds in parallel, reducing delivery timelines.

The business operates a vertically integrated model anchored by Xperience Construction, a wholly owned general contracting subsidiary that enables single-source accountability for comprehensive design-build delivery—a capability most pure-play AVL integrators lack. Paragon 360 pursues projects through a consultative enterprise field-sales motion, engaging facility owners, church leadership, and capital committees in multi-month to multi-year sales cycles that include visioning sessions, design charrettes, and detailed proposals. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with engagements ranging from multi-hundred-thousand-dollar system upgrades to multi-million-dollar comprehensive projects (e.g., a $4M sanctuary renovation at Edmond's First Baptist and a $9M scope on Venture Church's $32M campus). The company has completed over 1,000 projects across 27 U.S. states over 25 years, was recently named to the Inc 5000 list, and maintains long-tenured relationships with flagship customers including Bellevue Baptist Church, Sight & Sound Theatres, Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, Herschend Family Entertainment, and Silver Dollar City. Strategic architectural partnerships with firms such as Torgerson Design Partners and DeAngelis Diamond extend delivery capacity. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services contracts; no software, subscription, or product revenue streams are disclosed.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• AVI-SPL: One of the largest commercial AV integrators in North America, offering design-build AVL services for corporate, worship, government, and education clients. Comparable as a direct AVL integrator, though at significantly larger scale and without Paragon's custom scenic fabrication or general contracting depth.
• Clair Brothers: Long-standing audio systems integrator and manufacturer serving live entertainment, houses of worship, and touring clients. Comparable as an AVL-focused firm with deep worship vertical exposure, but with greater emphasis on live event production rather than integrated scenic fabrication.
• HB Communications: Northeast U.S.-based AV integration and event production firm serving corporate, education, and worship clients. Comparable as an enterprise AVL integrator, though broader in scope and without the custom fabrication and general contracting offering.
• Encore Global (formerly PSAV): Global leader in event technology and venue services providing AV, lighting, and rigging for hotels, convention centers, and corporate events. Comparable in AVL service capability for venues, though primarily event rental/hotel-based rather than fixed-installation design-build.

Direct peers

• Idibri (Salas O'Brien): Consulting firm specializing in acoustics, audio, video, and lighting design for houses of worship and performing arts venues. Closest direct peer given shared focus on worship and theater venue technology consulting, though Idibri is design-only without fabrication or construction.
• Wenger Corporation: Manufacturer of theatrical rigging, acoustics, and audience seating for performing arts and worship venues. Direct peer in the rigging and acoustic treatment categories where Paragon competes with custom solutions like FabriTRAK and motorized LED wall lifts.
• CSD Group: Design-build firm serving churches and faith-based organizations with sanctuary design, AVL, and construction services. Direct peer in the church-focused design-build space with a similar integrated delivery model, though with stronger Southeastern U.S. footprint.
• Visual Terrain: Lighting design and production services firm specializing in theatrical, architectural, and themed environment lighting. Comparable to Paragon in scenic fabrication and themed environment work for entertainment and cultural venues.
• Acoustics by Design: Acoustics, AV, and theatrical systems design firm focused on worship, performing arts, and educational facilities. Direct peer in the worship and theater design space, particularly comparable on acoustical treatments and AVL integration.

Regional players

• M3 Technology Group: AV integration firm serving houses of worship, schools, and corporate clients across the Mid-Atlantic U.S. Comparable in vertical focus and project scope, though operating primarily in a different geographic region.
