Jason Kleinert started in the custom home building business at the age of 22 after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jason was an assistant Project Manager who initially spent a good portion of his work week as a “runner” from job site to job site expediting materials for site superintendents and job-site foremen. This was a sure-fire way to learn the constant flow of required goods and materials necessary for construction projects to start-up, achieve milestones, and complete within set budgets and rigid schedules.

By 2001, and after several promotions, Jason was a Senior Project Manager typically running four concurrent projects and holding direct accountability for a staff of three Project Managers and their multiple projects. His principal projects ranged in size from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000. The expertise he developed put him in line for handling the firm’s most challenging projects including those with tight access, severely sloped lots, existing structure demolition in complex settings and building new homes on undeveloped lands.

In addition to new home construction, Jason regularly oversaw other complex projects including expansive in-ground swimming pools, driveways, main power distribution, massive retaining walls, complete demolitions, advanced solar systems, steel frame construction, multi-family remodels, penthouse remodels in city sky scrapers, decks, structure-raising, basements, and more. Based on his experiences, Jason was asked by his firm to literally write their book on Project Management Procedures. This procedures manual is still the firm’s primary guide for managing projects.

In 2006, soon after the birth of their first child, Jason and wife Gwen relocated to Denver. Jason was immediately retained by Weitz Norris Custom Home Builders to manage the complicated construction of a new, multi-million dollar home in the ski resort town of Copper Mountain. As Project Manager AND Site Superintendent, Jason succeeded in completing the 12-month project on time and on budget despite the challenges of building through the winter months at an elevation of more than 10,000 feet.

In 2008, following additional work for Weitz Company including remodels of a downtown Denver high-rise and a Kaiser Permanente facility, Jason decided it was time to build his own company providing lower cost construction services. Jason manages the day to day operations of RLK.
