Westlake Consulting Group

What Westlake Consulting Group does

Westlake Consulting Group is a privately held construction project management and owner's representation firm operating under the legal entity Westlake Consulting Group LLC. The company serves enterprise clients across four primary verticals: life sciences, healthcare, commercial office, and new development. Service delivery spans a four-phase architecture—Project Pre-Planning, Pre-Construction, Construction, and Close-Out—covering the full project lifecycle from feasibility and site selection through commissioning and move management. A specialized sub-brand, DayOne, extends the offering into facilities operations support including procurement, design analysis, operational readiness, and complex multi-phase move management for laboratory, healthcare, and commercial environments.

The firm's competitive differentiation rests on builder-side experience brought to the owner's representative role, enabling effective representation of owner interests against contractors and design teams. The team of approximately 23 professionals includes three principals (Andrew Donaldson, Mike Matter, Erik Westover) with hands-on construction backgrounds, a controller, project executives, senior project managers, and project managers with diverse industry experience spanning biotech cGMP labs, commercial office tenant improvements, healthcare facilities, and mixed-use developments. Notable engagements include Adaptive Biotechnologies, DocuSign, Fred Hutch, Juno Therapeutics, Umoja Biopharma, Shape Therapeutics, NanoString, and Tableau Software.

The business model is professional services revenue generated through project-based engagements with quote-based pricing. Services are acquired through direct enterprise sales, industry referrals, and repeat client relationships rather than channel partners or marketplaces. The company operates from three Pacific Coast offices—Seattle (headquarters), San Diego, and Bay Area—and has no disclosed funding, no proprietary technology platform, and no public financial reporting. Geographic scope is regional (US West Coast) with no global footprint claimed.
