THE COLLABORATOR ADVANTAGE For Luxury Home Builders
At the Top, We Collaborate!
It’s no secret that the rest of the world perceives the mid-west as a bit ‘behind the times’ in regards to style, fashion, and method. Like many of our collaborators, we’ve traveled the world studying and procuring the best products, methods, and styles. We strongly believe that the Kansas City design community coupled with our robust and talented trades are making a positive impact both on the lives of our clients and on the faulty perception of being ‘behind-the-times’. We’re passionate about elevating the lives of our clients while celebrating and elevating like- minded businesses who also believe in not settling for mediocracy in terms of service, style, and longevity. What if we built each other up and helped push each other towards greatness? Robyn Schmitz Founder, High Prairie Outdoors

For years, industry professionals have had to settle for lower standards in outdoor construction, navigating a fragmented system that prioritizes low per-unit pricing over true quality. The status quo favors cost-cutting, where established companies substitute inferior materials, rush craftsmanship, and focus on volume rather than precision. This outdated subcontractor model forces professionals to coordinate multiple vendors, leading to delays, miscommunications, and inconsistent execution. The result? Lost opportunity costs, extended project timelines, and a diminished final product that fails to reflect the high standards of luxury design and construction. High Prairie Outdoors rejects this model, offering a streamlined, single-source solution that delivers exceptional craftsmanship, lasting value, and elevated client experiences without compromise.

At High Prairie Outdoors, we’ve listened to thousands of people when it comes to what frustrated them about “contractors” and “building”. We believe in the idea of helping others and perpetually improving, not just following status-quo. You’re about to discover just how different HPO is, by using this incredible Blue Springs, Missouri project as an example. You don’t have to settle for the “norm” and you don’t have to be fooled by low-ball contracts that skyrocket once construction starts.

LEGACY PROGRAM
By self-performing 95% of our work, our clients benefit in several ways: Consistent quality and standards, which are higher than the industry’s. Less production gaps waiting for the next company.
Control over the caliber of staff, their training, and how “Family-Safe” they are. Less mid-project change/orders and scope creep resulting from multiple companies trying to work in the same area. “Surprises”.

THE INDUSTRY NORM Subcontracting can be okay, BUT more subs = more risk for you. Here’s why: Less Stability- Presuming all 20+ companies are able to stay in business, fully staff, and manage their finances is a risk. Quality “Guessing-Game” - 20+ companies do not have the same quality standards. Ever. More “Costly Surprises” - More companies = more unclear areas in the scope. This results in less accountability, more change-orders, and the “blame-game”.

THE INDUSTRY NORM Staffing: How many of the companies perform background checks to ensure no violent history or theft? Staffing: How do those companies train and certify? Schedules: More gaps in production as your project stalls waiting for the next company to show up. WHO ACTUALLY TAKES CARE OF YOUR WARRANTY WITH 23 COMPANIES??? How does your “Contract Holder” manage quality when they don’t build it or possibly know how? What happens if even one of those companies gets sued?
