Core Services
1. CONSTRUCTION DETECTIVE
Understand the Problem First
Something’s not working right. Before calling specialists, understand what you’re actually dealing with. I assess across all systems and explain it in plain language.
2. PLANNING & CONSULTING
Before You Spend
Buying equipment? Planning renovations? Reviewing bids? Get unbiased advice from 30 years of construction experience before you commit.
3. OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE
Your Eyes on Projects
For major construction, I protect your investment through quality control, schedule management, and hands-on problem solving.
Who I Work With
HOMEOWNERS – Pre-purchase evaluations, inspection reports, renovation planning, building problems
BUSINESS OWNERS – Restaurants, hotels, retail, gyms, commercial properties – anyone needing building expertise without a full-time facilities manager
Why Independent Advice
To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Specialists see problems through their lens and sell their solutions. I have no contractors to recommend, no services to upsell. Just unbiased building expertise when you need it.
