About us:
Optimum Building Consultants, LLC (OBC) was founded in 2011 by Principal Consultant Court
Olson. For more than nine years before that Court was an Associate and stock holder with a
large Seattle consulting firm. Prior to starting his consulting career he worked in the Pacific
Northwest general contracting industry estimating and managing the construction of commercial
buildings for over twenty years.
Court Olson also has respectable professional credentials. He holds two bachelor degrees and
a master’s degree in Civil Engineering and Construction Management. He also holds the
following professional certifications:
> Certified Construction Manager (CCM) from the Construction Management Association of
America;
> LEEDap bd+c from the U.S. Green Building Council; and,
> Design-Build Professional from the Design-Build Institute of America.
Building on more than three decades of Court’s well connected building histiory in the Pacific
Northwest, OBC draws on appropriate building industry professionals to form uniquely focused
teams of specialized consultants that suit a particular project’s needs. For example, to provide
multi-faceted design-builder procurement services OBC has previously engaged mechanical,
electrical, civil, lighting, acoustical, audio-visual, kitchen, architectural, and building envelope
specialists to satisfy a particular client’s needs.
This multi-faceted teaming approach allows OBC the flexibility to collect custom and specialized
skills to fit a particular project’s needs. This approach of engaging consultants from other
industry firms also affords OBC a low business overhead which benefits the budget of our clients.
