What We Build

Multi-Family Development That Performs

The Ogden Valley and Wasatch Front corridor is undersupplied in attached and small multi-family product — duplexes, fourplexes, and townhome communities. Infill lots, hillside parcels, and transitional-zone opportunities are increasingly viable — but only with a GC who understands how to execute complex, multi-unit scopes on a developer's timeline and budget.

OVB builds duplexes through small townhome developments with the same systems-first approach that protects individual homeowners — applied at the scale and pace investors require.

Ground-Up Multi-Family Construction

Duplexes, fourplexes, and attached or detached townhome units — managed under a single GC contract with full subcontractor coordination from foundation through finish

Site Work & Land Prep

Grading, utility rough-in, and site infrastructure coordination prior to vertical construction — fully documented and lender-ready

Design-Build Coordination

We bridge the gap between your architect's plans and field execution — managing RFIs, submittals, and design changes without slowing the schedule

Permitting & County Coordination

Full permit management across Weber, Morgan, Summit, and Wasatch counties — including HOA submittals where applicable

Investor Reporting & Draw Documentation

Structured budget reporting at every phase — formatted to satisfy construction lender draw requirements without additional back-and-forth

Selections Management

Finishes, fixtures, and specifications locked before construction begins — no late substitutions that blow the budget or delay delivery

Compensation Structure

Two Ways to Work Together

We offer two compensation structures depending on the nature of the project and the relationship — available for duplexes, fourplexes, and townhome developments. Both are fully transparent — no buried costs on either path.

Standard Structure
Cost Plus Management
Fixed fee · Full transparency · Lender-ready

You pay actual construction costs plus a pre-agreed management fee. Every subcontractor bid, material invoice, and field expense is visible to you in real time. Your lender sees the same numbers.

Management fee agreed upfront — sliding scale based on project size, never renegotiated mid-project
Full sub bid transparency — you see every bid we receive, not just the one we choose
Construction draw reports — structured for lender submission at every phase milestone
Change order control — nothing proceeds without written approval, scope creep is eliminated by process
Best fit for developers with established financing who want maximum budget control and lender-compliant documentation.
Partnership Structure
Fee for Equity
Negotiated stake · Aligned incentives · Right partnerships only

For select developments, OVB is open to taking a negotiated equity stake in the project in exchange for GC services. Our interests align with yours — we benefit when the project performs, which means we're incentivized to protect the pro forma the same way you are.

Equity in lieu of management fee — structure negotiated based on project scope and projected returns
Incentive alignment — OVB's compensation is tied to project performance, not just hours logged
Full Cost Plus cost transparency still applies — construction costs remain fully visible regardless of compensation structure
Selective partnerships — we evaluate each opportunity on location, scope, fundamentals, and developer alignment
Best fit for developers seeking a GC who is genuinely invested in the outcome — not just collecting a fee and moving on.
Why OVB

What Developers Actually Need From a GC

Most construction problems are process failures — not trade failures. The subcontractors on your job site are the same ones every other GC uses. What differs is whether the general contractor running them has systems that keep the schedule, the budget, and the communication from breaking down.
01
Budget discipline built into the model

Cost Plus means every dollar is accounted for before it's spent. No GC markup games, no surprise invoices at project close. The pro forma you underwrote is the one we protect.

02
One point of accountability

You deal with OVB — not a rotating cast of subs, project managers, and site supers. When something needs a decision or a call, there's one person responsible.

03
Lender-ready documentation

Draw requests, budget-to-actual reports, and change order logs are formatted for construction lenders from day one — not assembled retroactively when your banker asks for them.

04
Scope locked before ground breaks

Selections, specifications, and subcontractor agreements are finalized before the first shovel moves. The leading cause of development budget overruns is deferred decisions — we eliminate that by design.

05
Written approval on every change

No verbal scope adjustments. No "we'll sort it out later." Every change to scope or budget requires a documented change order with your sign-off — zero exceptions.

06
36-month warranty on delivered units

Whether you're selling or holding, your buyers or tenants are covered. A warranty-backed product protects your reputation and your asset beyond closing day.

Common Questions

Developer FAQs

Questions we hear from investors and developers evaluating OVB for a townhome project.

Do you work with real estate developers and investors?
Yes. We work directly with developers on duplexes, fourplexes, and townhome projects throughout northern Utah. We offer both Cost Plus and fee-for-equity structures depending on the project and the relationship.
What is fee-for-equity and is it right for my project?
Fee-for-equity means OVB takes a negotiated ownership stake in the development in exchange for GC services, rather than a fixed management fee. It works best when the project fundamentals are strong and both parties are aligned on the exit strategy. We evaluate each opportunity individually — reach out and we'll tell you honestly if it's a fit.
Can you produce documentation my construction lender requires?
Yes. Every OVB project is budgeted and managed in a format compatible with construction loan draw requirements — line-item breakdowns, budget-to-actual reporting, and change order documentation are standard deliverables, not extras.
What counties do you build in?
We're licensed across Weber, Morgan, Summit, and Wasatch counties — which covers the Ogden Valley, Wasatch Back, and surrounding northern Utah markets where townhome development demand is strongest.
What's the minimum project size you'll consider?
For multi-family development, we're generally looking at projects with a minimum construction budget of $500K. Below that threshold, the overhead of a full GC management structure doesn't pencil well for either party. We'll tell you that upfront if it's the case.
