Permitting Guidance

No more permit confusion

Permitting Guidance

Permits are one of the most intimidating parts of building — and one of the most costly to get wrong. We walk you through every requirement, submission, and inspection from start to finish.

  • Identify all required permits for your project type
  • Prepare and review permit applications before submission
  • Coordinate with local building departments on your behalf
  • Schedule and prepare for required inspections
  • Resolve permit holds and correction notices quickly
Contractor Vetting

Hire people you can trust

Contractor Vetting

Finding reliable contractors is one of the biggest challenges owner-builders face. We help you source, interview, and evaluate every trade — so you hire based on merit, not just availability.

  • Build a qualified bidder list for each trade
  • Review and compare bids side-by-side
  • Verify licenses, insurance, and references
  • Flag red flags in contracts before you sign
  • Mediate disputes and hold contractors accountable
Budget Management

Save 20–40% on your build

Budget Management

Owner-builders consistently save tens of thousands of dollars by cutting out the general contractor markup. We help you build a realistic budget, track every dollar, and avoid the surprises that derail most projects.

  • Create a detailed, line-item project budget
  • Track actual costs vs. estimates in real time
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities without cutting corners
  • Manage change orders and scope creep
  • Prepare draw requests for construction loans
Timeline Planning

A build that stays on schedule

Timeline Planning

A poorly sequenced build wastes money and creates chaos. We create a realistic master schedule, coordinate trade sequencing, and help you anticipate delays before they happen.

  • Develop a master construction schedule
  • Sequence trades to minimize downtime and conflicts
  • Set realistic milestones and completion targets
  • Identify long-lead items that need early ordering
  • Adjust the schedule proactively when issues arise
Owner-Builder Advocacy

Your interests, always first

Owner-Builder Advocacy

We work exclusively for you — not for the trades, not for the suppliers. Our only job is to make sure your project succeeds on your terms.

  • Represent your interests in all contractor negotiations
  • Review and advise on all contracts and agreements
  • Provide unbiased recommendations with no kickbacks
  • Escalate and resolve disputes quickly and fairly
Plan Review & Coordination

Catch problems before they're built

Plan Review & Coordination

Errors in plans cost far more to fix once construction begins. We review your drawings for constructability, code compliance, and coordination issues — before a single nail is driven.

  • Review architectural and structural drawings
  • Identify conflicts between trades (MEP coordination)
  • Check for local code compliance issues
  • Coordinate with your design team on revisions
  • Confirm plans match your budget and vision
