"What's this house actually going to cost to build?"

I build preliminary construction budgets that are localized to your area — trade by trade, material and labor separated, with the site conditions, any special conditions, and permit costs included. These are the important costs that most early budgets leave out.

Homeowners find out early whether the house they're planning is the house they can afford. Lenders find out whether there's a loan here before spending time and budget on the file.

Two ways in, depending on what you're working on.

"We bid it at 10%. Why did it close at 7.25%?"

Most of the money on a project is won or lost before anybody breaks ground. Which projects you bid, how the gaps get closed in buyout, what the subcontracts actually cover.

None of those early decisions feel expensive when they're made. They feel like a Tuesday. Those holes were there from the very start — small misses in preconstruction that quietly compound into real money during construction.

I've spent 25 years in the trenches learning where those gaps hide. I come in as an independent second set of eyes on the process you and your team already run.

I read everything myself. There's nobody else here.
