USUniversal SolutionsColorado

One team owning scope, schedule, budget, and crews start to finish.

Full Project Management

New construction, existing repairs, and multi-phase work run through a single point of contact who owns the schedule, the budget, and every trade on site.

Craftsmanship is rarely what sinks a multi-trade job. Sequencing, permits pulled in the wrong jurisdiction, and nobody answering the phone between trades — that is what sinks it. Management is the product.

  • Multi-phase scopes
  • Municipal permitting
  • HOA architectural review
  • One invoice

What is included

  • One accountable manager from scope to final walkthrough
  • Budget built before work starts, tracked against actuals
  • Trade sequencing and subcontractor coordination
  • Daily site organization and cleanup standards

Licensed across 10 listed Colorado jurisdictions plus Denver, Aurora, Centennial, and Lone Tree. BBB A+, 0 complaints.

How we approach it

What this work actually involves in Colorado

Four things decide whether a Front Range project lands on time. None of them are how well a crew swings a hammer.

Scope gets written before the schedule exists

A schedule built on a guess at scope is a schedule you will renegotiate twice. We walk the property, photograph existing conditions, take measurements, and put the scope in writing — including the parts we expect to find once something is opened up. Then the calendar gets built against it, and the budget gets built against that.

  • Existing-conditions photos dated before anyone touches the property
  • Allowances called out explicitly instead of buried in a lump sum
  • Change orders in writing, priced, and signed — no verbal adders

Permitting here is municipal, not regional

Colorado does not run Front Range building permits through one desk. Douglas County, Parker, Castle Rock, Littleton, Thornton, Denver, and Boulder County each hold their own contractor licensing and their own submittal requirements, and a company licensed in one cannot simply pull in the next town over. That is the single most common reason a project sits idle for three weeks before the first crew shows up. Universal Solutions CO carries 10 listed licenses plus 11 more on record.

  • Permits pulled under our license, in your jurisdiction, not yours
  • Inspection scheduling and re-inspection handled by us
  • Final permit card and closeout documentation handed over at the end

HOA review runs in parallel — and it is usually the long pole

In Douglas and Arapahoe county neighborhoods the architectural committee, not the building department, is what sets your start date. Many committees meet monthly and require a submittal with product data, color, and profile before they will look at it. We assemble that package on day one and file it alongside the permit application rather than after it, because a submittal rejected on a technicality costs you a full meeting cycle.

  • Manufacturer product data and color samples assembled up front
  • Submittal filed in parallel with the municipal permit, not after it
  • Approved colors and profiles confirmed before material is ordered

Trade sequencing, staging, and the gaps between them

Roof before gutters. Flatwork after the heavy loads are done rolling over the drive. Dumpster and material staging placed once, where it will not block the trade coming after. Colorado adds weather to all of it — a concrete pour and a tear-off are both weather-gated, and if they are scheduled back to back a single storm cell moves two trades, not one. We hold float in the schedule for that instead of pretending August is dry.

  • Named crews scheduled, with the handoff between trades owned by us
  • Weather float built into pours, tear-offs, and exterior finishes
  • Every trade under our contract — you sign once and get one invoice

Straight answers

What we will not promise you

Every contractor promises quality and communication. Fewer will tell you where the limits are before you sign, which is the more useful information.

  • That you need us. A single-trade, one-week job needs a good roofer, not a project manager — we will tell you when that is what you have.
  • A date we cannot hold. Inspection queues, material lead times, and hail-season demand are real, and we would rather give you a range we can meet.
  • A price before we have walked the property. Anyone who quotes a multi-trade scope over the phone is guessing with your money.

Questions

Full Project Management: common questions

The questions people actually ask on the first call, answered the way we would answer them standing in your driveway.

When two or more trades have to hand off to each other, when the work runs in phases, when you are living or operating in the building, or when an insurance claim is funding it. On a single-trade job with one crew and one week of work, a project manager is overhead — hire a good roofer instead. We will say so on the consultation rather than sell you a layer you do not need.

The rest of what we run

Most projects touch more than one of these. They are managed together, on one schedule, under one contract.

Next step

Have someone look at it before you decide anything.

The consultation and site assessment are free, take about an hour, and end with a written scope and a real budget — including the times the honest recommendation is a repair, a different trade, or waiting for a better weather window.
