What Colvos Construction does

Colvos Construction is a commercial general contractor founded in December 2016 in Tacoma, Washington, by industry veterans Devin Page (President) and Anders Bjorn (Vice President). The firm delivers preconstruction, general contracting, construction management, and design-build services across more than ten market segments in the Puget Sound region — Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, Olympia, and the surrounding peninsula — with healthcare representing roughly 40% of its project base, over $100MM in completed tenant improvement work, and additional depth in hospitality, multifamily/mixed-use, self-storage, industrial, nonprofit, public-sector, education, and recreation projects.

The company's technology stack centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and virtual construction for preconstruction planning, combined with Bluebeam (real-time drawing markup and RFI submission) and Procore (task tracking, mobile field collaboration). Preconstruction integrates the Superintendent and Project Manager from initial client meetings to deliver real-time cost information, detailed estimates from minimal design, constructability review, value engineering, LEED/sustainability analysis, permit acquisition, and quality-control planning. Subcontractor execution is governed by a pre-qualification program and the Building Connected bidding platform.

Colvos earns revenue through project-based general contracting fees (materials, labor, equipment, subcontractor management) and professional-services fees for construction management and design-build engagements. Approximately 20% of pipeline comes from hard-bid public-sector work; the balance is relationship-driven negotiated work with private clients. The customer base spans enterprise healthcare systems (MultiCare, CHI Franciscan, Mason Health), hotel chains (Four Seasons), national self-storage operators (Stor-House, SecureSpace, ExtraSpace), and a long tail of SMB hospitality and retail tenants. Headcount stands at 11–50 employees (29 reported as of November 2019), and the firm ranked 33rd on the 2023 Puget Sound Business Journal Washington Middle Market Fast 50 — the highest-ranked company with under 50 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Turner Construction: National commercial GC with a Seattle office serving healthcare, commercial, and hospitality markets in the Pacific Northwest. Larger, broader-scope incumbent that competes with Colvos on the larger end of regional healthcare and commercial opportunities.
• Mortenson Construction: National commercial GC with significant Pacific Northwest presence in healthcare, higher education, and hospitality. Larger scale than Colvos but a relevant incumbent competing for the same flagship healthcare and institutional work in the region.

Direct peers

• Walsh Construction: Pacific Northwest commercial GC active in healthcare, hospitality, multifamily, and tenant improvement. Closely comparable in scale and service mix to Colvos, frequently competing for similar Puget Sound enterprise work.
• BNBuilders: Seattle-based commercial GC focused on healthcare, life sciences, education, and tenant improvement across the Pacific Northwest. Comparable size tier and healthcare specialization make it a directly competitive peer for the same MultiCare/CHI Franciscan-tier projects.
• Swinerton Builders: Pacific Northwest–active national commercial GC with deep healthcare, multifamily, and commercial office practices. Highly comparable to Colvos in delivery models (preconstruction, GC, CM, design-build), and a direct competitor for the same enterprise client base. Colvos' preconstruction hire Mike Davis came from Swinerton, underscoring the talent and market overlap.
• Andersen Construction: Pacific Northwest-headquartered commercial GC with strong healthcare, multifamily, and commercial office practices. Comparable delivery mix (GC, CM, design-build) and regional reach make it a direct peer for Colvos' project types.
• Lease Crutcher Lewis: Seattle-based commercial general contractor delivering projects across healthcare, higher education, hospitality, and commercial office in the Pacific Northwest. Closest direct peer by geography, scale tier, and service mix — a primary competitor for the same MultiCare-tier healthcare and Four Seasons-tier hospitality clients in the Puget Sound market.
• Exxel Pacific: Pacific Northwest general contractor delivering multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use projects. Comparable in size and geographic focus, particularly relevant for Colvos' multifamily and commercial segments where both firms bid on similar developers.
• Aldrich & Associates: Pacific Northwest commercial GC specializing in tenant improvement, healthcare, hospitality, and commercial office. Closely matches Colvos' tenant-improvement-heavy mix and regional footprint, including similar relationships with national retail/hospitality tenants.

Regional players

• Absher Construction Company: Pacific Northwest commercial GC with strong multifamily, senior living, hospitality, and public-sector practices. Comparable delivery capabilities though primarily active in the greater Seattle/Eastside market with somewhat larger project focus.
