Omō
Aligned vision, informed steps
About Omō
Omō was born from a belief that most projects don’t fail in the field — they fail before they start.
After twenty years leading construction teams, I saw the same pattern repeat itself: misalignment between design, budget, and intent long before the first shovel ever hit the ground.
I founded Omō to change that.
Omō is a preconstruction consultancy built to serve owners and developers on the front end — where clarity is created, alignment is achieved, and savings are found. We lead projects through the critical preconstruction phase, coordinating design, estimating, and strategy so that by the time construction begins, every question has been answered and every dollar has a purpose.
There are plenty of estimators, project managers, and superintendents who build well. But Omō exists for what comes before — the thinking, the communication, the structure that allows those people to build at their best.
Omō means “to think.” Because thoughtful beginnings create exceptional outcomes.
Case Study
Why the Jim Thorpe Project Matters
The Jim Thorpe Memorial Building renovation was a defining moment in my career—a project that crystallized what great preconstruction leadership can achieve.
It brought together everything I value: historic preservation, complex systems integration, and the rare opportunity to lead the entire design-build team—architects, engineers, landscape architects, project managers, and superintendents—from the very start.
By pulling field and design disciplines into alignment early—something most teams never do—we bid a $60 million state project that tracked $15 million under budget allowing us to add $7 million in new design and site scope, while still maintaining an $8 million savings going into the construction phase.
Each consultant attributed the outcome to disciplined, forward-thinking preconstruction: structured communication, transparent decision-making, and true collaboration.
This project confirmed what I’ve believed for years—that success is built before construction begins.
It’s also what inspired me to found Omō, so that this level of proactive, integrative preconstruction could become the standard, not the exception.
