Through my building company and radio show, folks have come to trust me for honest, experienced and professional guidance for their home building and remodeling projects. In today's world, folks are tackling home improvement projects themselves, not only for the satisfaction that "they did it themselves", but to hopefully save dollars in the process. Unfortunately, homeowners are not always experienced enough to manage the day-to-day issues that might arise on larger home improvement projects, which could be a costly mistake. Let my experience go to work for you.

I am offering my construction experience as a service, or better known as an Owner Representative. As an Owner Representative I am working strictly on your behalf, the homeowner.

A question you might be asking yourself, is it worth the extra cost to hire a professional Owner’s Representative?

Without a professional Owner’s Representative assisting the homeowner, cost overruns of 10%, 20% or more are possible. Hiring me as your Owner’s Representative is a good investment.

My fees are as follows:

$1,000 Retainer (non-refundable) - Payable in advance with signed service proposal.
$150 Per Hour - On Site Inspection/Meetings, Phone/Email Discussions, Consultation, Deposition, Testimony, Travel, Waiting Time and Report Correspondence Preparation. NOTE: Fees accrued beyond the retainer amount will be invoiced and payment is due on receipt

Please feel free to call me to discuss your circumstances. I understand that different situations require unique approaches. You’ll find that my services can be as flexible as your needs, thank you.
