Our Approach

Field-proven.
Not theoretical.

Most advisors come from one side of the table. We've worked both sides — as superintendents in the field and as advocates for owners. That experience gap is the difference between advice that sounds right and advice that actually protects you when a contractor submits a $48,000 change order for work that was already in the scope.

A very transparent process — I felt like I knew what was going on all the time, and what everything cost.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to on every project. You shouldn't need to chase your contractor for updates. You shouldn't be surprised by a change order. You shouldn't wonder whether the work matches what you're paying for. That's our job — so construction doesn't become yours.

RyMichael Group was built on one core belief: the owner deserves a professional in their corner with the same field knowledge, license, and authority as the people they're paying. That's what we are.

What We Do

Three ways
to work with us

RyMichael Group holds a Class A IBC license — the only owner's representative firm in Colorado that can operate as pure advisor, construction manager, or licensed GC of record depending on what your project requires.

You have a GC. We represent you.

Construction Management

No GC? We take over.

Built for Colorado.
Built for you.

Mountain builds in Colorado come with a set of challenges that most owners — and many contractors — don't see coming until they're already in the ground. Short build seasons. Rocky soil. WUI wildfire requirements. HOAs that can stall a project for weeks. Off-grid utility complexity. We plan for all of it before ground breaks.

Talk About Your Home
Commercial & Retail

From lease to
opening day.

You signed the lease. Now someone needs to manage the buildout. Franchise locations, medical offices, salon suites, restaurant fit-outs — we've been through all of them. We review the work letter, level the bids, pull the permits, and manage the schedule so you hit your opening date without the contractor horror stories.

Who We Serve

Built for
your project.

We work with four types of clients. The common thread: they all want a professional in their corner who knows the field, reads the contracts, and answers to them — not the contractor.

Colorado mountains out of state owner
01
Out-of-State Owners

You can't be there. We are.

You're in Texas, California, or Chicago. Your mountain home is being built in Summit County, Telluride, or Steamboat. We are your eyes, ears, and advocate on the ground every week.

  • Weekly on-site presence so you don't have to travel
  • Photo and written report every Friday without fail
  • Direct line to us when something comes up
  • Your interests at every meeting — not the contractor's

Custom Home First-Timers

You've never done this before.

Your GC seems great. You just don't know what questions to ask, when to push back on a change order, or why the budget suddenly went up $48,000. We've seen it all — and we explain every step.

  • Budget validation before ground breaks
  • Change order review — we know when a number is inflated
  • Allowance tracking so finishes don't blow the budget
  • Contractor accountability at every phase
Retail commercial buildout

Retail & Commercial Tenants

You signed the lease. Now what?

Franchise buildout. Medical office TI. Salon suites. Restaurant fit-out. You've committed to a space and now you're responsible for construction. We manage it so you don't have to.

  • TI scope review and contractor bidding
  • Work letter review and negotiation support
  • Permit coordination and timeline management
  • Budget and schedule protection to opening day

Projects in Trouble

Your GC walked.
We can finish it.

Half-built home. Work stopped. Costs 40% over. Missing permits. No clear path forward. Our Class A IBC license means we can step in, take over permits, and get your project across the finish line when no one else legally can.

  • Rapid project assessment — what's built, what's owed
  • Change order audit and contractor accountability review
  • New contractor vetting, bid leveling, contract negotiation
  • Permit takeover under Class A license if required

Colorado Expertise

Built for
this state.

Colorado builds come with challenges most owners don't anticipate until they're already committed. These aren't edge cases — they're the norm on any mountain or Front Range project.

🏔️
Mountain Site Complexity

Expansive soils, rock blasting, steep grades, and retaining walls can add $100K–$300K+ to a project. We review geotechnical reports and flag cost risks before you're committed to a budget.

❄️
Short Build Season

Many mountain jurisdictions have effective build windows of 6–8 months. A September framing delay can push your project back an entire year. We track the critical path from day one.

🔥
Wildfire Zone Requirements

Colorado's WUI zones add specific material and construction requirements that increase cost and complexity. We identify these in preconstruction — no surprises once you're in the ground.

🏛️
HOA & Architectural Review

Mountain HOAs can stall projects by weeks or months with revision requests. We coordinate submittals and ensure work doesn't begin before approvals are fully in hand.

🔌
Off-Grid Utility Complexity

Well permits, septic systems, propane tanks, and long electric runs are common in Colorado mountain builds. Each adds cost and timeline risk we plan for, not react to.

📋
64 County Jurisdictions

Colorado's 64 counties each operate independently. We know how these permit offices work — and with our Class A IBC license, we can pull permits directly when your project requires it.

Proven Results

Real numbers.
Real protection.

Every engagement is measured by one standard: how well we protected our client. These are outcomes from active project oversight — budget saves, schedule recoveries, and cost exposure prevented through disciplined field management.

$250K
Cost Exposure Prevented
Identified and blocked unnecessary charges through disciplined change order oversight and Procore-based financial monitoring.
3 mo.
Schedule Time Recovered
Restructured project schedule and improved trade sequencing — delivering three months of timeline recovery on an at-risk project.
$150K
Delay Costs Avoided
Proactive schedule leadership prevented an estimated $150,000 in delay-related costs and liquidated damages exposure.
Case Study 01 — Schedule Recovery

Schedule Optimization & Trade Coordination

A complex multi-trade project had fallen behind due to poor sequencing and insufficient coordination between subcontractors. RyMichael Group restructured the master schedule, resequenced trade entry points, and implemented weekly coordination meetings that held each trade accountable to updated milestones.

$150K
in delay costs and liquidated damages prevented — three months of schedule recovered through proactive trade leadership.
Case Study 02 — Change Order Control

Change Order Cost Control & Financial Oversight

Subcontractors had submitted a significant volume of change orders, many lacking adequate documentation or scope justification. RyMichael Group implemented disciplined change order tracking within Procore, reviewed each request against contract scope, and rejected or renegotiated unverified charges before owner approval.

$250K
in unnecessary cost exposure identified and prevented — full transparency maintained throughout financial oversight process.
Client Testimonials

What clients
say about us.

We measure success by one thing: whether our clients felt protected, informed, and confident throughout the entire process. Here's what they say.

"Having RyMichael Group on our project was the best decision we made. We never had to chase for updates — every Friday, without fail, we knew exactly where our money and our schedule stood."
— Client Name
Custom Home Owner · Summit County, CO
"They caught change orders our GC submitted that had no business being approved. The fee paid for itself three times over before we even broke ground on the second phase."
— Client Name
Commercial Tenant · Denver, CO
"We were out of state and genuinely had no idea what was happening on our build. RyMichael Group became our eyes on the ground. We'd recommend them to anyone building in Colorado."

How We Work

Three phases.
Every project.

01
Phase One

Pre-Construction

The most valuable phase to have an owner's rep. Every decision made here determines budget, contractor quality, contract terms, and risk exposure. Problems prevented in preconstruction cost nothing. Problems discovered mid-build cost everything.

Budget validation & feasibility review
Site & lot due diligence
Contractor vetting & bid leveling
Contract review before you sign
Permit & HOA coordination
02
Phase Two

Active Construction

Weekly site visits, written reports, real-time budget tracking. Every change order reviewed before you pay it. Every pay application verified against work in place. One clear update every Friday — no surprises, no chasing anyone for answers.

Weekly site visits & photo documentation
Friday Owner's Report — every week
Change order review & negotiation
Pay app review & lien waiver tracking
Schedule critical path monitoring
03
Phase Three

Closeout & Warranty

The finish line most owners cross without representation. We stay through punch list, commissioning, and final documentation — then return at month 11 to document and submit every warranty item on your behalf before the window closes.
