The KSD Group provided project management services for the construction of a 14,000 square foot, four-story luxury Aspen residence. Along with the main residence, a caretaker’s residence and extensive sitework were constructed concurrently. During
preconstruction, KSD was responsible for selecting the general contractor and authoring both the construction contract with Shaw Construction and the architectural contract with Bill Poss and Associates.

In the course of these negotiations, substantial fee reductions accrued to the benefit of the Owners.  During construction, KSD was responsible for approval of bids, cost control, change order negotiation and quality assurance. KSD also implemented and coordinated the extremely sophisticated design/build security monitoring and access control system for the site and buildings.

The structure of this magnificent home is a very complicated combination of wood, poured-in-place concrete and steel. The interiors are an equally complicated mix of new as well as imported and reclaimed materials. The standards for quality are the highest.

One of the more challenging aspects of the project was controlling cost while coordinating the design activities of the architect of record from Aspen, the interior design architect from New York and a local specialty bathroom design consultant. Many significant Owner-induced changes were processed cost effectively due to the team effort of all the players. 

The project was completed on time and on budget.
