With a Bachelor’s in Construction Engineering from Iowa State University, Ryan began his professional career underground, working on highly technical and exhilarating tunneling projects in Oregon and Virginia. Ryan’s unique attention to detail and critical thinking ability quickly caught the attention of his leaders and crew members alike. Whether it was designing concrete formwork to be used 150’+ underground or platforms that suspended workers 150’ in the air, his crews trusted him to be consistent and develop plans that put their safety as the first priority. In 2012, Ryan brought his distinctive experience back to Iowa and transitioned to building vertically. During this time, a few notable mentors had a strong impact on his personal and professional growth; encouraging him to develop effective ways to serve others. Ryan has since cultivated a passion for lifelong learning and works tirelessly to improve the value of his interactions. Ryan launched Paradigm Construction with a mission to enhance the lives of those we interact with and to create “A model of construction with integrity.” He works to build a company his 3 sons will be proud to represent and a vessel to teach them, and others, what integrity truly means. Ryan appreciates the value of the present and enjoys the pursuit of getting better each day.
Paradigm Construction sprouted from a strong desire to build a company founded on integrity. The word integrity supports many values, most of which resemble being honest and forthcoming, following through, demonstrating consistency, and doing what is right. Paradigm is a company that follows an unwavering path to do right by its employees, industry partners, clients and the community. We are proud to provide career opportunities and the appropriate resources for those committed to make a difference, be lifelong learners and improve the lives of those around them.

Our company's key advantages lie in our dedicated approach to project management and client communication. Every project is assigned a dedicated project manager who provides daily updates, ensuring exceptional oversight and quality control throughout.

This level of personalized attention and communication sets us apart and ensures a smooth and successful construction experience for our clients.
Yes, we'd be happy to provide a list of clients you can contact. We trust that each of them will give you an honest evaluation of their experience working with us.
Yes, we provide design services. We have strategically partnered with independent designers who can assist with layouts and design for remodels and additions. Additionally, we have access to residential architects who can produce and design full-scale home build drawings. This collaboration allows us to offer comprehensive design solutions to meet all your remodeling and new construction needs.
No, we do not allow materials and supplies to be purchased from unapproved online vendors or big box stores. We warranty all our projects, and we cannot guarantee the quality of products from those vendors, nor can we assume the responsibility of communicating with their warranty departments. All materials for our projects must be purchased from our trusted vendors. Our clients appreciate our reputation for high standards and exceptional results, and the only way we can meet those expectations is by purchasing materials from our approved vendors. We have long-standing relationships with these vendors, which allows us flexibility in meeting our clients' expectations and needs. This ensures we can guarantee the project's success and deliver the quality you expect.
New home construction projects typically take around 6 months. Kitchen, bathroom, and basement finishing projects usually take approximately 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity. Additions to existing homes can take around 3-4 months, with the timeframe varying based on the size of the addition.
We offer a comprehensive range of construction services tailored to meet your needs. Our expertise spans across new home builds, home additions, home renovations, and small commercial projects. Whether you're envisioning a brand-new custom home, looking to expand your living space, or planning a commercial renovation, we have the knowledge and experience to bring your vision to life. We understand that every project is unique, which is why we offer flexible design services to suit your requirements. We can work with your existing design ideas and take them to the finish line, ensuring every detail meets your expectations. Alternatively, if you need assistance with design concepts, our team is equipped to collaborate with you and create a custom design that reflects your style and preferences.
No, we do not allow homeowners to complete any of the work on their remodel or new home build themselves. This policy is in place to ensure that we maintain full control over the project's success and quality. Allowing homeowners to participate in the construction process can lead to coordination issues, scheduling conflicts, and potential discrepancies in workmanship. Our clients appreciate our reputation for high standards and exceptional results, and the only way we can meet those expectations is by staying in control of the entire project. By managing all aspects of the work, we can ensure a smoother process, consistent quality, and a better overall outcome for your project.
To start your construction project with us, you can either give us a call or fill out the online form on our "Contact Us" page. During our initial call, we will ask you a series of questions to understand your project better. These questions include:
- What are your goals for the project?
- What is your timeline?
- What is your budget?
- How long have you been considering this project?
We will also ask you to send us some photos or plans of the space or home so that we can review them and help provide a rough budget. If the rough budget meets your expectations, we will continue the process from there.
