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

{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!

{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.

{"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."

{ With Richard’s help and under his supervision we were able to hire a crew to finish framing and streamline the process of subcontracting for the interior work. Additionally, he gave us guidance on structural issues, framing, and waterproofing. Without doubt, Richard’s role in getting our project back on track can not be overstated. He even helped us to restore our faith in the profession.

{Thank you for the referral to Richard Wodehouse to help with our apartments in Tiburon. He was superb to work with, very fair, and his team of workers is excellent. This ended up being a very complicated project that Richard helped navigate using his contacts at the Town of Tiburon and deep construction expertise. Thank you again.

{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.

{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.

{Richard was the general contractor for the renovation of our home in Belvedere. Richard did a fantastic job working with the quirks of the house; he was inventive in his solutions and you can see his craftsmanship everywhere in the final results. One of the most significant changes we ended up making — raising the ceilings in the kitchen — came directly from his suggestion. He was also a delight to work with; we were on a tight schedule but also kept tweaking our plans, and he handled it all with good cheer and responsiveness. We love how the house turned out, and we have Richard to thank for that.

{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!

{As we wind down, I must say that it has been a pleasure to work with you. You are detailed and precise (as I am, for better or worse) and very efficient. I would be happy to serve as a reference.
