Initial Consultation:

Our first meeting is a complimentary consultation designed to understand your vision and discuss how we can best support your project. During this time, we will listen carefully, gather important details about your goals, preferences, timeline, and budget, and provide preliminary guidance to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you choose to proceed after this meeting, we will present a professional service agreement outlining the scope of our consulting or pre-construction services. Should you later decide to have us build your home or project, any consulting fees paid will be credited toward our construction fee.

Our construction fee is structured as a percentage of the total project cost, typically ranging between 11%–12% of the total cost, depending on the complexity of the project and the anticipated time, coordination, and oversight required to complete it successfully.

Our goal is to offer clear, transparent guidance so you can make well-informed decisions at every stage of your project. (Professional Consulting Services)
