Company History
Rugged Development Services was created out of a passion for managing land development projects in Colorado’s real estate industry. The business was formed by Shane and Jane Rugg in 2024, and is rooted in their combined substantial experience in the real estate industry. Shane has nearly a decade of experience in land development, including several years as a senior project manager for Colorado’s largest national homebuilder. Most recently, he served as Lokal Homes’ Vice President of Land Development. Jane is a licensed Colorado attorney who has focused her practice on real estate law. Drawing on their shared love of development projects, Rugged Development Services was created to give owners of projects large and small peace of mind that they are in good hands.
What is an Owner’s Representative?
The Owner’s Representative or Owner’s Rep bridges the gap between ownership and all other entities involved with the project. They manage the design and construction process, making sure that development decisions are aligned with the project owner’s goals and values. An Owner’s Rep uses their development experiences to solve problems and offer creative solutions that directly affect the bottom line. In broad terms, an Owner’s Rep is the direct representative of their client, spearheading all aspects of the development and recognizing and solving conflicts and complications. When complex issues arise, they explore all options available, distill the information, and provide the client with a concise set of options, along with a recommended course of action.
