What Wember does

Wember Inc. is a privately held, 100% employee-owned professional services firm established in 2004 and headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The company operates as an owner's representative for public- and private-sector clients undertaking capital improvement projects, providing five core services under a single vertical focus: full-lifecycle Project Management, multi-project Program Management, Construction Management oversight, Project Controls (financial management, scheduling review, design and construction quality control), and Staff Augmentation. Wember differentiates by deliberately limiting its practice to owner's representation rather than architecture, engineering, or general contracting, citing continuous process improvement of its single-service methodology as the rationale.

The firm's revenue model is professional-services-fee-based, with engagements secured primarily through public-sector RFP responses and direct outreach in Colorado and Wyoming. Wember employs a distributed workforce across nine regional offices in Colorado (Greenwood Village, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Steamboat Springs, Grand Junction) and Wyoming (Sheridan, Evanston, Jackson), and has operated a remote-first delivery model for 16+ years. Underlying tooling consists of a proprietary online Owner's Representative software platform—claimed to provide collaboration and transparency for capital projects—augmented by standard AEC collaboration tools (Bluebeam, Microsoft Teams, Webex). Management is led by founder/CEO Paul Wember and President Matt Wilhelm, with regional Vice Presidents and a multi-tiered team of Senior, Project, and Assistant Project Managers.

Wember's primary customer base consists of municipalities, school districts, higher education institutions, government agencies, and a smaller set of private clubs and membership organizations. Documented client engagements span fire stations, police facilities, libraries, K-12 and higher-ed capital projects, water infrastructure, and cultural facilities (e.g., Children's Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus, Colorado State University Pueblo, High Plains Library District, Greeley Fire Department, International Association of Fire Fighters, Town of Breckenridge Water Division, Columbine Country Club). The firm claims $1B+ in cumulative construction value managed across 350+ projects over 21 years of operation.
