What Riehl does

Riehl Construction Consulting, LLC is a privately held Owner's Representative firm founded in 2004 and headquartered at 2444 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite #301, Santa Monica, California. The firm provides construction management and estate management services to ultra-high-net-worth individuals undertaking luxury residential projects across the Los Angeles and Santa Barbara markets. Operating as the owner's exclusive advocate rather than as a contractor or architect, Riehl manages projects from property acquisition through post-construction closeout and into ongoing estate operations.

The company's service portfolio comprises six integrated modules: Property Acquisitions (pre-purchase inspections and feasibility assessments), Pre-Construction (planning, value engineering, insurance placement), During Construction (on-site project management, subcontractor vetting, change-order review), Post-Construction (punch-list, system testing, warranty review), Estate Management (recurring maintenance, vendor liaison, monthly walk-throughs), and Forensic Accounting (project audits and expert reports for legal proceedings). There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is delivered as professional services by an 11–50 person team.

Riehl generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements quoted on individual scope, acquired almost exclusively via referrals from architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and other professionals within the Southern California luxury residential ecosystem. No pricing is publicly disclosed, no funding rounds have been raised, and no external ownership is indicated—the firm operates as an independent boutique serving a concentrated base of affluent property owners.
