Golden Dollar Services

About

Quinn Walters has worked in the construction industry since the summer of his senior year of high school. For anyone outside the construction industry, handing the keys of a five-ton piece of equipment over to an untrained 18-year-old might seem crazy, but the company had a lot of work to do, and they were willing to take a chance on the hard-working young man.

That summer job would turn into a decade-long career as a heavy equipment operator in the front range of Denver. During that time, Quinn mastered every type of land mover you could imagine. When GPS was introduced in the cabs of this equipment, Quinn quickly mastered the new technology and became the head of GPS implementation for machine control and site mapping.

It wasn't long before competition came knocking, and Quinn was offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead and grow a new construction outfit. While Quinn had high hopes for this role, things didn’t go as planned. Quinn had to leave this role. Now, with two kids to feed, Quinn started looking for a way to get back into the cab, so he could pay his bills.

His new employer immediately noticed that Quinn was far more than your ordinary operator; he was capable of not only running the equipment but managing the entire job site from the cab of his motor grader. Soon, Quinn was climbing the ranks back to superintendent. Just as he found his stride, the 2008 recession erupted and shut down and home building across the country. But this disaster would be a blessing in disguise as it gave Quinn his next big break.

The Rifle airport outside of Denver needed to have its quarter-mile runway and taxi areas demolished and rebuilt as quickly and efficiently as possible. Rifle was a small airport, and the construction would mean a complete shutdown would be necessary for the entirety of the 8-month project.

This was hands down the most complex project Quinn had managed to date, and yet, at the end of the project, Quinn delivered the completed project a week early with a 20% profit margin, a far more efficient and profitable outcome than anyone thought possible.

After the success at Rifle, Quinn was brought on to more and more large-scale land development projects, including several landfills, reservoirs, and other airports. Quinn then became the general superintendent's right hand to ownership.

In 2018, Quinn found his way back to home building, but this time at the development level. Master the art and science of land acquisition, permitting, and geoengineering for multi-million dollar development projects.

In 2022, with two major airports, three reservoirs, five landfills, and almost thirty thousand homes under his belt, Quinn decided it was time to hang his own shingle and started Golden Dollar Services. Named after the abandoned gold mine at his home in Central City, Golden Dollar aims to help land developers, builders, and their investors better manage, navigate, and budget projects to ensure maximum efficacy and the long term profitability of doing things right the first time.
