Independent advisory support for homeowners who want to manage their own residential construction project without navigating it completely alone.
Owner-builders may need to coordinate permits, inspections, subcontractors, schedules, material deliveries, engineers, surveyors, utilities, change orders, payment requests, and town or county requirements.
The challenge is not intelligence or effort. Most owners who struggle do so because they underestimate the amount of coordination required.
I advise the owner. I do not become the general contractor, hire subcontractors for the owner, supervise means and methods, or assume construction responsibility.
The service helps you organize the process, evaluate bids, prepare questions, review payments, and think through risk.
An owner-builder project needs systems before it needs speed.
You need a bid structure so every trade is pricing the same scope. You need a schedule that recognizes which work must happen before other work can begin. You need a budget that separates contract work, allowances, contingency, permits, engineering, utilities, site costs, and finish selections.
You also need a process for change orders, payment approvals, inspection timing, material deliveries, and documentation. Without those systems, even good trades can end up stepping on each other.
Project scope, risks, permit concerns, bid strategy, budget structure, and next steps.
Scope review, bid package review, budget review, schedule review, permit roadmap, and subcontractor strategy.
Monthly calls, change order review, contractor questions, budget review, and schedule review.
