Richard wodehouse

For over 45 years as a General Contractor helping owners
in the role of Owner’s Project Manager.

I formed West Coast Project Management Inc. in 2010 as a way of using my vast experience and knowledge gained in 35 years of building 240 fine structures and 10 years helping clients as an Owner’s Project Manager.

I started as a custom builder in San Diego County in Southern California, where I gained a reputation as being one of the area’s finest contractors. Back in 1975 I received my CA General Contractors License #305719. After 15 years I moved to the mountains and established operations in Telluride
Colorado.

Known for my ability to successfully complete architecturally-challenging projects, I developed a close working relationship with both world-renowned and local architects. In 1999, I opened a second office in Aspen, Colorado. I closed both operations during the recession of 2008.

I now work as a Construction Project Manager and Owner’s Representative based in Marin County in the San Francisco Bay Area including cities such as Tiburon, Belvedere, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Ross, Larkspur, Nicasio, San Francisco, Woodside, Los Altos Hills, Menlo Park, Atherton, Palo Alto as well as Sonoma and Napa Counties.

I keep up with new products and techniques by continuing education in Building Science. I have been a proponent of Green Building practices for my entire career.

 

In the year 2000 I was recognized as Builder of the Year by the Colorado Association of Homebuilders for my efforts in Green Building. I have received numerous other national and regional awards.

In April 2010 I traveled to Haiti with the nonprofit Helping Hands (now called All Hands) { http://hands.org/ } to help rebuild after the January 2010 earthquake.

I have been a national speaker and often contribute articles to local newspapers on various Green Building topics. I am an avid sailor, skier, and hiker.

Client Feedback

{Polsky Perlstein Architects worked closely with Richard Wodehouse to construct substantial improvements to a home that involved transforming it into a beautiful contemporary residence. Richard was adept in providing the level of care necessary to ensure a beautiful finished product. We recommend Richard as a highly skilled project manager and problem-solver.

{We have worked with Richard on multiple projects. He is overseeing a substantial house remodel in Sonoma for us, acting as our owner’s representative in dealing with all contractors, architects, and other service providers. He has dramatically improved the quality of the project, reduced the cost, and given us great ideas about how to improve the project. Richard also got our new “old house” in Belvedere into move-in condition. He oversaw all inspections and enhancements, found the right people to do work at reasonable prices, and even did some of the work himself to get it right. He has become an important part of our lives!

{Our architect recommended against hiring a construction manager saying we didn’t need it for “such a small project” (single family home renovation). Some time later, when we found ourselves almost a million dollars over our original budget, I called Richard again. If only we had him on board from the beginning, we would have realized that the budget was significantly underestimated and we could have changed course before the architectural plans were finalized. I regret not having Richard on the team from the beginning. Richard then helped us transition to owner-builders and taught me a few things in the process. I now know what’s involved in waterproofing a shower pan and I can speak confidently about left-hand versus right-hand door swings. Having Richard on your project is like having insurance against things going wrong.

{"Even though there were some tricky moments overall, I really enjoyed working with you and I think you did a great job. The project turned out beautifully and I believe it only did because of the collaboration effort of the entire team. Again, my overall experience working with you and the final outcome of the project was great."

{Having you involved has been incredibly helpful, and I just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for your help in getting this project back on track.

{Richard, Thank you for everything you did and for the extra hours you put in to make everything just right.

Sue, Belvedere
{In response to a complex remodel situation regarding my home in Belvedere, I hired Richard to act as an Owner’s Project Manager to oversee the contractor. Ultimately, I asked Richard to take over the general contractors’s job. Not only did he work through the complexities of the construction, he actually improved the entire project. Doing construction work in Southern Marin can have numerous challenges, Richard was very effective in dealing with all of them.

William, Belvedere
{Richard, just want to say how appreciative we are with you as our project manager. I don’t know how we could have done it without you. We are benefiting from your years of experiences in the building industry. Thank you. We look forward to spending our first weekend at the house!

{It’s always nice to work with Richard! Not only does he expect high standards but his decision process as the job goes on is very rare and helpful. I find that his clients are extremely satisfied and truly feel that everything is done right.

Kurt Grosser, Owner, Superior Roofing Solutions
{Unless you have years of expertise in construction, if you are going to build or re-model, I would strongly recommend that your first call be to Richard Wodehouse. As an owners representative, you have a friend in the construction industry.

Lester, Sonoma
{My husband and I both feel we owe Richard a deserving review for all that he’s done to help us with our home renovation project. Richard, in his very calm and systematic way, asked us to trust him which we agreed. We are in a much happier place now and would have NEVER gotten to this point had we not hired Richard.
