Building Momentum has brought business oriented judgement to the design and construction process for both primary and remote homes since 1981. Our business philosophy revolves around obtaining the best value for our clients by challenging each member of the design and construction team to produce their best work at the best price.

We approach projects utilizing a macro-global perspective, seeing the entire project from top down. When combined with our decades of experience, we yield unique and out of the box strategies for accelerating project timelines and reducing costs, all without sacrificing the quality of work.

Objectivity is one of the most valuable assets we offer. Since we are not a part of a real estate organization, and do not compete with Architects, Designers, Contractors or other vendors, there is no conflict of interest present in the services we provide.

Our goal and responsibility is to work on behalf of our clients and meet their needs.

What We Do For You.

We manage the day-t0-day operations associated with the design and construction of your home and property, mirroring a well-run business.  Our core values are to enable you to enjoy the process for participating in both the design and construction of your new residence.

We coordinate with the Architects, Design Team, General Contractor and Specialty vendors to attend regular team meetings to discuss and determine any and all issues that need to be solved and decided on for moving the project forward.

We strive to foster a collaborative and positive team spirit on the project to enhance productivity and cooperation amongst all the participants involved on your project.

We ensure communication flows efficiently between contractors and other vendors so that our schedules and costs are closely managed with integrity. 

We provide project oversight, manage the financial and legal obligations and create budgets and cost forecasts. And, manage, review and approve all invoices prior to payments being issued.

Our Owner’s Representative and Project Management practices provide you: clarity, organization, guidance, accountability and 100% transparency and for all financial aspects of your project.

Our Process.

Building Momentum helps you spend less time guiding and monitoring the project, while dramatically reducing risks to your finances and schedule. This process includes: 

  • Meeting with you to formalize your project goals and objectives.

  • Setting a realistic budget and timeline for the project.

  • Finding appropriate design firms and helping with selection.

  • Streamlining the design and building permit process.

  • Finding the right General Contractors and bidding the drawings.

  • Reviewing design and construction contracts.

  • Coordinating project schedule.

  • Tracking all available work and worker populations. 

  • Monitoring and expediting the construction.

  • Facilitation of interiors and art installation.

  • Organizing your Move In.

  • Closing out contracts and permits


While we prefer managing projects from start to finish, we are often called in to revive and complete ongoing projects that have stalled or are in need of stronger organization.


Building Momentum has extensive experience managing various styles of architecture.
