Being Present Where It Matters

Every Owner–Architect–Contractor (OAC) meeting is attended for the spaces and elements within scope. This presence enables immediate problem-solving and ensures construction decisions remain aligned with the approved aesthetic, functional, and financial goals.

Managing the Flow of Construction Communication

Execution depends on clarity. Within scope, Color Works actively manages RFIs, PRs, submittals, shop drawings, and related documentation. Each decision is tracked and communicated with precision, reducing rework, avoiding unnecessary change orders, and keeping installation on schedule:

  • Responding to RFIs (Requests for Information) quickly and thoroughly, ensuring contractors have clear guidance on finishes, fixtures, and other design-driven details.
  • Reviewing and responding to PRs (Proposal Requests) with a focus on the design impact, evaluating changes for how they affect cost, schedule, and quality in the areas we’ve designed.
  • Tracking and managing submittals, shop drawings, and related documentation, verifying that all materials, finishes, and details align with the approved design.
  • Documenting decisions and approvals so every stakeholder is clear on direction and expectations.

Leveraging Relationships to Keep Projects on Track

Decades of collaboration with architects, contractors, and trades accelerate resolution and minimize friction. These relationships enable faster answers, more cooperative problem-solving, and smoother progress toward completion.

Protecting the Vision, Budget, and Timeline

Project management functions as the guardian of the design intent. Oversight includes monitoring construction progress, verifying material quality, and ensuring installation standards are met. The focus is always on delivering the approved scope without compromise:

  • Identifying potential issues early
  • Offering value-driven solutions that don’t compromise the vision
  • Keeping the team aligned on design priorities and deliverables

For capital budget decision-makers, this level of involvement provides confidence that investments are executed on time, on budget, and with design integrity fully intact.

Why It Matters

Construction is complex, but the spaces being delivered must work from day one. Color Works project management ensures that it doesn’t get lost in translation. The result is clarity, accountability, and execution that lives up to the design vision and the investment behind it.

Erich Jurges

General Dentist

“I am delighted to offer my highest recommendation and endorsement for Katie and Colorworks. Katie’s expertise was pivotal in crafting both the interior and exterior design of my dental office, elevating SageBrush Dental to a premier healthcare facility. Her keen insight not only transformed the physical space but also played a crucial role in shaping our branding strategy. Thanks to Katie’s vision, we were able to establish a corporate culture focused on delivering top-notch dental care.”

Tonia Kellogg

Director, Executive Offices at Oklahoma Baptist University

“Several years ago Oklahoma Baptist University was introduced to Katie by a gentleman in our community that was working with her to design the largest interstate highway restaurant/gift shop overpass project in our state. We were looking for someone to assist us with managing and overseeing a high profile signage and artwork project for our campus. She handled the entire project from RFP to installation. All along the way, she worked with us to insure that the results for the main entrance to our campus were exactly what we needed. In addition, Katie has worked with us to update the interior design of some of our existing buildings, as well as new buildings. From paint, to flooring, lighting, sound proofing panels, window coverings, you name it, Katie can do it. Aside from her technical expertise, Katie is an exceptional professional and makes even difficult projects easy.”

“It has been a privilege to work on several projects with Katie. Her professionalism is top-notch and she has the unique ability to work with any and all types of personalities. She has been able to take a vision which was rough and unpolished and turn it into a perfect reality. I would not only highly recommend her to anyone, I will continue to utilize her genius as often as I can. It has been a privilege to work on several projects with Katie.

Wes Rutledge, RA

Architect, Beck Design
“I was the architect and project manager for the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s Vinita Service Plaza Renovation (The Will Rogers Archway). It was a great pleasure to work alongside Katie Decker-Erickson, who was hired by the OTA to coordinate the color schemes among the various tenants in the building. Her role and influence on the project carried far beyond color selection. Not only did she play a key role in choosing the colors and finishes in the building, Katie brought vision and creative solutions to the table. She was a tenacious advocate for the good of the project and an adept project manager. She demonstrated great skill in design, communication, and organization and would be a great asset to any project team”
