Expertise
Construction
With over 9 decades of construction experience, Oltmans’ portfolio has spanned the gamut of product delivery. We specialize in ground-up construction, renovation and repositioning, seismic retrofits, and tenant improvements throughout the Southwest United States.
To add value to all of our projects, we have stayed true to our building philosophy of keeping open, honest communication flowing between all project parties. We believe that communication helps us drastically reduce mistakes, adapt to changing conditions and keep the project moving no matter what.
The construction phase includes:
- Construction management, including recommending and managing engineers and other professional consultants
- Design-Assist/Design-Build Project Delivery
- Budgeting, accounting, and comprehensive cost control
- Logistics and procurement
- Self-perform oversight and jobsite supervision
- Hire and management of subcontractors
- Quality control and inspection of all work
- Meticulous documentation of all progress, change management, and milestones
- Final inspection, certification and “as built” documentation

We hit the ground running with safety planning both in preconstruction and during the construction phase of the work. All risks are highlighted and effectively communicated facilitating early substitution and/or mitigation of any dangers identified. We prioritize sharing lessons learned and best practices with our trade partners to promote continuous improvement throughout the project. Oltmans’ safety is
led by our Safety Director who maintains a thriving, result orientated team that focuses on reducing the total number of injuries as a key safety outcome.
