As a Residential Construction Consultant and Master Builder, I help you navigate every stage of your project with confidence.
I will look at your goals, review your plans and bids, and point out hidden costs before they become expensive mistakes.

As your construction consultant, I will translate industry jargon into clear choices—always grounded in experience, not theory.

In short: I help you build better, spend smarter, and move forward with the assurance that someone who has actually built homes is watching your blind spots.
