The Registry standard

Qualification before introduction.

“Vetted” is not a permanent badge. It describes a documented review performed for the type of project, property, geography, and timing under consideration.

Owner qualification

A real property, real authority, and credible capital.

Verified property and service-area alignment.
Ownership or documented decision authority.
Standard outdoor construction allocation beginning at $500,000.
For certain defined sub-threshold projects, confidential manual review of scope, phasing, professional planning, specialized requirements, and current firm fit.
Estate-scale complexity or multidisciplinary scope requiring integrated leadership.
Credible planning or construction horizon.
Consent before personal details are released.

Below-threshold review

A manual review is a narrower path—not a lowered standard.

The owner or authorized representative must identify a Front Range property and a defined planning horizon.
The Registry considers precise allocation, project structure, phasing, design readiness, site conditions, and specialized requirements.
The request remains with the Registry while matchability is evaluated and is not automatically routed to a professional partner.
Only one selected firm may receive the inquiry, and only after a credible fit and the applicant's consent are established.
Manual review does not guarantee qualification, availability, an introduction, pricing, or acceptance.

Integrated partner review

Seven dimensions of project-specific fit.

Integrated estate leadership

Demonstrated ability to lead architecture, landscape, pools and water, outdoor structures, fire, hardscape, site infrastructure, professional consultants, and specialty trades through one accountable operating structure. Not every discipline must be self-performed; coordination cannot be fragmented.

Comparable operating range

Evidence of leading projects with similar capital, technical coordination, site constraints, and owner expectations—not simply attractive standalone features.

Preconstruction discipline

A repeatable process for scope definition, estimating, exclusions, schedule logic, design coordination, logistics, risk, procurement, and owner decision gates.

Project leadership

Identified executive, project-management, field-leadership, administrative, and closeout responsibility appropriate to the proposed work.

Commercial controls

Clear fee structure, allowances, contingency, changes, invoicing, payment controls, documentation, insurance, and contract administration.

Relevant verification

A relevant completed-project portfolio and client references for owner review, together with entity, insurance, personnel, current capacity, specialty-trade relationships, and other checks appropriate to the project and available information.

Property fit

Geography, jurisdiction, access, occupied-estate protocol, schedule, design team, communication style, and genuine alignment with the assignment.

Decision record

What should be documented before an introduction.

The property, project range, geography, timing, and readiness considered.
The firm capability, relevant completed-project portfolio, client references, comparable operating range, personnel, and current capacity reviewed.
The evidence date, important limitations, and unresolved owner-verification items.
Any commercial relationship relevant to the proposed introduction.
The owner's consent before private contact information is released.

Test project alignment

Does the property meet the Registry’s operating range?
