Project Setup Bundle
Set the project up to win before construction starts.
What does this actually cost to build? What's the real timeline? Who's filing the permits? Who's going to build it? When does money move and from where? Everything answered before the first hammer swings — so the project starts where it should, not where you'd be six weeks in trying to fix it. Starting at $2,500.

The Problem
The first 30 days decides the next 90
Projects that get into trouble usually started in trouble. Weak scope, vague timeline, unprepared permits, random bids, and no draw schedule create execution drag that compounds month over month.
Scope drifts because no one wrote it down
Then change orders eat the margin.
Permits get filed late
And the project waits six weeks for approval.
Bids come back incomparable
And you award to whoever called first instead of who fit best.
Cashflow gets reactive
And you scramble for draws instead of pulling them on schedule.
What you get
Everything the project needs to start clean
Contractor-Grade Budget ($1,799)
Built from scratch — takeoffs, trade-priced unit costs, bid-ready spreadsheet.
Scope & Timeline Setup
Written scope of work and realistic timeline for this scope + this jurisdiction.
Permit Administration
Submission, correction handling, and inspection scheduling.
Contractor Match & Bid Coordination ($1,499)
Vetted candidates sourced, structured bid intake, leveled comparison, award recommendation.
Cashflow Schedule
Draw schedule that lines up with lender expectations and real progress milestones.

“They caught things we completely missed before we moved forward.”
“Scope and budget were all over the place when we called. After they walked through it, the project actually felt doable again.”
“We just needed help on one piece, not a full build out. They stuck to what we asked for and did not push extras.”
