Chris Grundy is a seasoned construction executive and Owner’s Representative with over 40 years of global experience delivering complex capital projects across the cultural, commercial, civic, and institutional sectors. He is the founder and principal of Grundy Construction Management & Consulting (Grundy CMC), a boutique firm focused on Owner’s Representation and project leadership services.
Chris began his career after earning an honors degree in civil engineering from the University of Surrey in England. He spent two decades in South Africa delivering major infrastructure, civil engineering, and industrial plant projects—including roads, bridges, heavy civil works, and a high-profile design-build international racetrack that hosted the South African MotoGP.
In 2005, Chris moved to the United States and joined Mortenson Construction in Denver, where he spent 11 years managing projects across the Western U.S. Notable assignments included:
- The Stapleton and Prairie Gateway redevelopment projects
- Multiple design-build contracts for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Fort Carson (over $500M)
- Manitoba Hydro’s $800M HVDC Bipole III project
He left Mortenson as a Construction Executive in 2015 and joined Project One, where he provided Owner’s Rep services on the Denver Art Museum’s $150M North Building renovation and Welcome Center expansion—a legacy cultural project praised for its complexity, schedule control, and innovative design solutions.
Since founding Grundy CMC in 2017, Chris has led projects across Colorado, Arizona, and Florida, including:
- The Denver Art Museum (Owner’s Rep – through completion)
- Multiple medical and real estate developments with National Healthcare Realty
- The new Wecker Hall at the U.S. Air Force Academy Foundation, a net-zero energy project
- The Oasis renovation project at Heritage Palms Golf & Country Club in Fort Myers, where Chris stepped in to help guide a delayed aquatic and tiki bar renovation across the finish line
Now based primarily in Fort Myers, Florida, Chris is focused on expanding his Owner’s Rep services throughout Southwest Florida, with particular interest in golf and country club capital improvements, amenity renovations, and nonprofit or civic development. Known for his integrity, technical depth, and hands-on project leadership, Chris is trusted by clients to protect their interests, resolve challenges, and deliver quality outcomes on time and within budget.
