Project Management and Design

As your construction consultant, I oversee your entire building process from idea to completion... ensuring transparency, saving you money and producing a high quality result.

ASK YOURSELF:

DO I NEED A CONSTRUCTION CONSULTANT?

Consider first your own construction abilities and experience: Can you read and interpret blueprints, do material take-offs and move necessary information to the permitting process? How about the process of obtaining proper permits? Does your experience give you what it takes to compare bids, and confidently make the best choices as to value and quality? What about time? Completing a construction project requires a lot of time and hard work. Oversights or errors may be very costly in both time and money.

A competent construction consultant has extensive experience in all aspects of construction. They know and understand the complexities of the entire process. They help their clients oversee and assess building costs and contracts for construction projects. They use their expertise to reduce costs, answer questions and suggest solutions. Their role is to guide and advise.
