You mean when you start the build? You can do something like: --cmake-args -CMAKE_VEBOSE_MAKEFILE=TRUE when launching colcon command line.

I think this is actually supposed to be "--cmake-args -DCMAKE_VEBOSE_MAKEFILE=TRUE"

If the CMake code hasn't changed I would expect colcon to behave the same as ament_tools (since it is basically invoking CMake and Make for you).

By default colcon doesn't show the output from stdout. Have you tried enabling the output as mentioned in the docs?

The referenced docs link in the prior answer is now broken.

I found a related article on enabling additional information and I was able to run colcon --log-level debug build to get some insight, which gave me some hints that the build system used is make for my project.

This let me cd build/<project_name> and VERBOSE=1 make to see the build commands.
