Mid-Build Assessment & Recovery
Something feels wrong — the schedule has slipped, the budget is gone, or you’ve lost trust in your contractor. You need construction problem solving from someone with no stake in the outcome, not another opinion from someone with skin in the game.

These are the situations that bring owners to me. If any of these sound familiar, it's time to get an independent assessment.
Your contractor has gone quiet — slow to respond, vague on timelines, and short on straight answers.
You've been asked for more money, but you can't tell where the original budget went.
Work has stalled and you don't know if the subs are paid or if liens are coming.
Something about the framing, roof, or foundation doesn't look right and no one will give you a clear explanation.
Your draw schedule is being pushed ahead of completed work — you're funding a project that isn't keeping pace.
You're an absentee owner building in the North Georgia mountains and you have no one on the ground you trust.
How It Works
I come to the site, assess what's actually happening, and give you an honest report — without any interest in the contractor relationship or the next phase of work.
I walk the project from foundation to roof line, documenting what's been built, what's been skipped, and what may be out of compliance with IRC standards or your permitted plans.
I compare your draw history against documented progress and flag where payments have outpaced completed work — giving you leverage and clarity before the next draw request.
You get a plain-language written assessment of where things stand: what's acceptable, what needs correction, and what questions to ask your contractor or attorney.
If you want to continue the project, I can step in as your Owner's Representative — attending site meetings, reviewing future draws, and keeping your contractor accountable through completion.
Who This Serves
A site visit and written assessment starts at $450. Most owners tell me it was the best money they spent on the build.
