RM Construction

What RM Construction does

RM Construction, operating as Stone Age LLC, is a private custom home and commercial builder founded in 2013 by Bob Gibson in New Castle, Colorado, with Blake Piland joining as business partner shortly after founding. The company bootstrapped from a $100 starting capital and has grown into one of Western Colorado's recognized regional builders, now headquartered in Glenwood Springs with a second office opened in Grand Junction in 2020. RM delivers three core services — custom home builds (1,500 sq ft to 10,000+ sq ft), commercial construction, and major remodels — and increasingly acts as a builder-developer through partnerships on the Thompson Park townhome project (27-unit Phase I sell-out) and the 58-acre Dos Rios mixed-use riverfront development in Grand Junction, which secured $12.3M in city bond infrastructure funding.

RM's technology stack centers on two proprietary systems: an automated material-takeoff process branded RM Automation, which the company cites as enabling project planning in as little as half a day, and a Project Portal that gives homebuyers daily photo, status, and progress updates on their build. An in-house designer supports finish and material selection. The company also maintains a library of 700+ customizable build-ready floor plans, providing a reusable asset base across projects. These tools function primarily as workflow automation and client communication infrastructure rather than AI-driven systems.

RM's revenue model is project-based and one-time per engagement, with pricing driven by custom specifications, lot conditions, and client requirements rather than standardized tiers. The company reports volume-based material sourcing savings of up to 40% passed to buyers. Go-to-market is direct-to-client sales, supplemented by content marketing (a blog focused on Colorado mountain-home building), a project portfolio, and a strong referral network spanning satisfied clients, real estate professionals, and developer partners. Customer segments include affluent homeowners seeking custom mountain residences, local commercial businesses, existing homeowners undertaking remodels, and real estate investors and developers — with the affluent homeowner segment as the primary focus. Geographic scope is confined to Western Colorado resort and Grand Valley communities (Aspen, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, Fruita, Palisade, Grand Junction).
