Construction consulting for homeowners who want control without costly mistakes.

I help Austin homeowners plan and manage complex remodels—providing independent guidance without taking on the GC role.

This service is not for everyone.

This is a fit if you:‍

Are planning or managing a remodel in Austin
Want to act as your own GC (or already are)
Need clarity on scope, budget, sequencing for City inspections
Want direct answers, not reassurance
Are willing to pay for professional judgement

This is not a fit if you:‍

Want someone to manage trades or supervise construction
Are looking for free advice
Want validation more than clarity
Expect instant answers without preparation
Aren’t prepared to make hard decisions

If you’re considering acting as your own GC, this article outlines where projects commonly go wrong.

What the paid consult actually is

This is a paid, 90-minute advisory session focused on identifying the highest-risk decisions in your remodel and helping you make clear next moves.

In this session, we:

Evaluate the current status and risk profile of your project
Pressure-test budget and schedule assumptions
Identify how permitting and inspection requirements shape sequencing, schedules, and downstream decisions
Clarify whether acting as your own GC is realistic for you

This session does not include managing trades, pulling permits, overseeing construction, or creating detailed schedules or budgets. This is advisory only — professional judgment, not execution.

Why I do this work

I’ve been on both sides of residential construction — first as a homeowner forced to take control of a failing remodel, and now managing active residential projects in Austin for a builder across a wide range of budgets.

I see where projects actually go wrong: unrealistic schedules, soft budgets, poor sequencing, and decisions made without understanding downstream consequences. These issues don’t show up on paper — they surface mid-construction, when fixes are expensive.

I manage residential construction professionally in Austin. For clients, my role is strictly advisory — providing clear, direct guidance to help homeowners identify risk early and make informed decisions before problems become expensive. Here's what a construction consultant actually does in Austin. I frequently work with homeowners who are mid-project or have fired their contractor and need clarity before making their next move.
