For many General Contractors, the most stressful stage of a construction or remodeling project is often creating a complete estimate which is inclusive of all expected costs, and yet, is still competitive.

For many Property Owners facing a large remodel or new construction, the most stressful stage of the process can be trying to make an "apples-to-apples" comparison between competing contractors, and determine what has, and what has not, been included.

I build estimates for both Contractors and Property Owners.   My estimates clearly define the agreed scope of work (something that can mean all the difference in the issuance and resolution of change orders), and include additional columns of client-requested options like steam showers, tankless water-heaters, fireplaces, pools, room additions, hardscape and material upgrades, which give owners the complete cost of these items, inclusive of contractor Supervision, Profit and Overhead fees.

I've created hundreds of successful estimates for Property Owners and General Contractors ranging from under one-hundred-thousand dollars to several million dollars.  I work on a project-to-project “as needed basis."  My clients 
receive the benefits of an experienced Project Estimator & Coordinator, but only pay for actual hours or portions of hours used on behalf of their project. 

General Contractors use my services to  build their company's estimate for a project, without tying up their company's resources.  I conduct a job-walk with subs to review existing conditions and plan details, then build an overall estimate  incorporating both sub bids and my own takeoffs.  I also often work with the contractor's client, designer or engineer during the budget-revision process.  

Property Owners use my services to aid them get the most for their budget, build feasibility budgets, or to help them choose a contractor by creating an "apples-to-apples" comparison between bidding General Contractors.

My process works incredibly well for General Contractors who need to stay focused on work already won, and still be able to submit  informed and inclusive estimates to clients in a timely fashion, and for Property Owners who want more control over the budgeting and planning process .
