Construction planning and troubleshooting for residential and commercial building owners

CONSTRUCTION DETECTIVE

Your Building Advisor – Get Informed Before Calling Specialists

You’re dealing with a building issue but don’t know what’s actually wrong. Specialists will diagnose through their lens and sell their solution. To a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I assess across all building systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, building envelope, structural), explain it in plain language, and you make informed decisions.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

  • Homeowners dealing with building issues
  • Business owners who need building expertise without a full-time facilities manager
  • Anyone who wants to understand the problem before calling contractors

Rate: $100/hour

OWNER’S REPRESENTATIVE

Your Eyes on Major Projects

Strategic oversight + hands-on problem solving for construction projects.

Quality control, schedule management, budget oversight, contractor coordination, on-site problem solving.

  • Major renovations or buildouts
  • Projects where you can’t be on-site regularly
  • Any construction where downtime = lost revenue

Pricing: Project-dependent – let’s discuss.

WHY INDEPENDENT ADVICE?

You’re busy. You shouldn’t need to become a building expert. When you call specialists, they see problems through their specialty and sell their services.

I have no contractors to recommend, no conflict of interest. Nearly 30 years across all building systems means I see the whole picture and explain it so you understand your options.
