Bid leveling & contractor selection
Bids normalized to identical scope so you're comparing the same building. We surface what each contractor excluded, not just what they charged.
Owner's representation
Someone at the table who works for you.
On most projects the owner is the only person in the room without a construction professional on their side. The general contractor has one. The subs have one. The architect has one. We fill that seat — for property owners and developers across the Phoenix metro.
Why owners hire us
You're being asked to approve numbers you can't check.
Nobody on a construction project is trying to cheat you. But everyone is protecting their own margin, and the documents come at you fast: bid tabs, allowances, schedules of values, pay applications, change orders. Approving them is your job. Verifying them was never anyone's.
- Three bids that look comparable but aren't covering the same scope
- Allowances set low to win the job, then trued up after you've signed
- A change order priced at whatever the moment will bear
- Pay applications billing ahead of work actually in place
- A schedule that slipped six weeks before anyone told you
- Scope gaps between trades that become your problem to pay for
Scope
What we handle for you.
Engaged for the whole project or for the one phase where the money is actually at risk.
Budget validation
An independent estimate of your project, built from the drawings, so you know what it should cost before anyone tells you what it will cost.
Contract & scope review
Review of the construction agreement, exhibits, allowances, and schedule of values — flagging the terms that quietly shift risk onto you.
Pay application review
Monthly draws checked against work actually installed, retainage tracked, and lien waivers confirmed before you release funds.
Change order review
Every change priced independently. We tell you whether it's legitimately extra work, already in the contract, or simply priced too high.
Progress & schedule oversight
Site walks, photo documentation, and a plain-language report telling you what happened, what's behind, and what it means for your money.
The difference
We can price it ourselves.
Plenty of consultants will read a change order and give you an opinion. We take it off and price it independently, because estimating is what we do every week for other contractors. An opinion is arguable. A number built from the drawings is not.
- Licensed Arizona contractor — ROC #367339
- Independent quantity takeoffs performed in-house
- Current Phoenix-market material and labor costs
- Every conclusion traced back to a sheet and detail
- We don't bid the work we're hired to oversee
Where we come in
Earlier is cheaper.
You can bring us in at any point. But the leverage drops sharply once the contract is signed.
PHASE 01
Planning & feasibility
Before drawings are finished: is this project financially viable at all, and is the budget you're working from anywhere near reality?
PHASE 02
Design & documents
Constructability review and budget tracking as the drawings develop, so cost problems get caught while changing them is still free.
PHASE 03
Bidding & award
The highest-leverage phase. Bids leveled, scope gaps closed, contract terms reviewed, and a recommendation you can act on.
PHASE 04
Construction
Ongoing oversight — draws, changes, schedule, and quality — with a report each month that tells you where the project actually stands.
PHASE 05
Closeout
Punch list verified, final retainage released only when it should be, and warranties, lien releases, and record documents collected.
Engagement
How we're hired.
Scoped to the project rather than sold as a package. Every engagement is quoted in writing before work starts.
Single-phase engagement
One phase only — most often bid leveling and award
Flat fee
Full project representation
Planning through closeout, monthly reporting throughout
Monthly retainer
Document & contract review
Contract, schedule of values, or a specific change order
Hourly
Second opinion
A single question you need answered by someone independent
Hourly
We won't bid a project we're representing you on. Owner's representation and construction are separate engagements, and we keep them separate — so the person checking the numbers is never the person who wrote them.
Building something you can't afford to get wrong?
Tell us where the project stands. We'll tell you honestly whether you need us — and if you don't, we'll say that too.
