Get a Builder’s Second Opinion.

WHAT I REVIEW
I review the parts of a residential construction project that can become expensive when they are unclear, incomplete, or misunderstood.
PLANS & CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
I review your plans for omissions, conflicts, unclear details, and construction issues that can lead to change orders, delays, or added cost.
CONTRACTOR BIDS & SCOPE OF WORK
I review contractor proposals, allowances, exclusions, and scope so you understand what is included, what may be missing, and where surprises can occur.
CHANGE ORDERS & CONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS
I review change orders, field conditions, and construction questions to help you understand what is reasonable and what deserves a closer look.
BUDGETS, SCHEDULES & PROJECT DECISIONS
I help you evaluate budgets, schedules, priorities, and major construction decisions before you commit time or money.
HOW A BUILDER'S SECOND OPINION WORKS
You don’t need another sales pitch. You need an experienced builder to look at the situation from your side of the table.
1. SEND ME WHAT YOU HAVE
Plans, bids, contracts, change orders, photos, or a description of the problem. Send whatever you have — I’ll tell you what I need to review it.
2. I REVIEW IT LIKE A BUILDER
I look for conflicts, missing information, questionable costs, unclear scope, and practical construction problems that may not be obvious on paper.
3. YOU GET A CLEAR SECOND OPINION
I explain what I see, what concerns me, and what I think you should do next — in plain English, from a builder’s point of view.
55 YEARS OF BUILDING EXPERIENCE — WORKING FOR YOU
I’ve spent more than five decades building homes, remodeling houses, managing construction, reviewing plans, working with subcontractors, solving field problems, and dealing with the costly surprises that occur when something was missed before construction began.
The Builder’s Second Opinion gives homeowners access to that experience without hiring me to manage the entire project.
