Claim This BusinessBasim Sawaged founded RAM Construction in 2001, building a general contracting firm that has completed 178 permitted projects across the Denver Metro Area. Based in Thornton, Colorado, the company holds active licenses and carries full insurance coverage, earning an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau as an accredited entity since May 2025. Homeowner reviews currently rate the contractor 4.3 stars across 51 verified reviews, with service areas covering Thornton, Denver, Broomfield, Littleton, Westminster and surrounding Front Range communities.
What distinguishes RAM Construction from typical general contractors is the hands-on leadership model. Basim Sawaged personally oversees every project from initial estimate through final walkthrough, meaning homeowners work directly with the owner rather than being assigned to a project manager. The company maintains a small, consistent crew rather than subcontracting all work to unfamiliar parties. Reviews frequently mention direct communication with Basim himself, including same-day response on estimates and availability to answer calls and texts throughout projects.
Customer stories reveal specific scenarios the contractor has handled. Sandy Coulter worked with the team on a bathroom renovation project, noting the company delivered her dream bathroom at an affordable price despite typical remodeling glitches. Derek Janda, a house flipper in Lakewood, described Basim as an artist with a blank canvas on a 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom nearly 5,000 square foot project, highlighting Basim's design input, same-day demolition team dispatch, and daily jobsite cleanup that kept the property presentable throughout. Jennifer M. praised the company's rapid response to a flooded basement, noting reasonable pricing during a stressful situation.
Every reviewer who gave a 5-star rating mentions either Basim by name or specifically references working with the owner, and reviewers consistently cite direct communication as a key differentiator from larger contractors. Three negative or neutral reviews mention pricing concerns, while positive reviews highlight craftsmanship quality and jobsite cleanliness.
