What We Do
Our focus lies in assisting first-time home builders as they navigate the multitude of decisions involved in the home construction journey. Recognizing the overwhelming and stressful nature of this process, we offer the expertise of professionals who have traversed this path before. Our goal is to guide you through this journey, streamlining your decision-making process efficiently and with minimal stress.
Many newcomers are often surprised by the sheer volume of decisions, both minor and major, that homeowners must make. The reality is that researching and becoming an expert in every aspect of home building is incredibly time-consuming. Homeowners need reliable guidance for tough decisions, simplification for moderately complex choices, and support for the more routine decisions, which can accumulate rapidly.
Homeowners often find themselves caught between conflicting interests: builders prioritize swift decisions to save time and money, while suppliers tend to favor higher-priced options due to commissions. Unfortunately, homeowners lack an impartial platform to seek advice. We keep third-party companies accountable and acting as a liaison to your builder, answering their queries regarding your selections and ensuring timeliness.
Most significantly, we endeavor to source and decrease the costs of your selections. Not all providers offer the same value, and many are overpriced, often recommended by builders for convenience rather than price or quality. We aim to protect you from falling into this trap.
Furthermore, we offer a sounding board for your ideas, providing honest feedback on layouts and materials. Unlike other parties involved in the process who might prioritize expediency over accuracy.
Preparation is crucial in the home building process, yet the lack of organized planning in this regard is a common regret. We ensure that you stay ahead of your timelines, manage your workload effectively, and comprehend how interconnected these decisions are in shaping your home.
Time Savings
When constructing a house, every detail needs consideration and planning. Undertaking this endeavor alone without assistance can lead to either project delays or hastened decisions that may not align with your preferences or understanding. Recognizing that perfection is unattainable, our approach is to help you focus your energy on the crucial decisions—those elements that truly matter to you.
Take, for instance, wall trim options—there are numerous types available. Do you have the time to become an expert in each variation, or would you prefer guidance through a curated selection of the top 10 suggestions? Our aim isn't to remove you from the decision-making process; rather, it's to streamline and consolidate the options, empowering you to make informed and prompt choices efficiently.
Certainly, you'll still collaborate with specialists for key aspects like fireplaces or tile selection. However, navigating these areas can remain perplexing, time-consuming, and exhausting due to the industry's use of technical jargon and the multitude of specifications for each item. Avoiding delving too deeply into these intricacies saves you countless hours.

Cost Savings
On a recent project, the plumbing fixture estimate started at $28,000. However, through diligent procurement strategies, reevaluation, and opting for more practical selections, the final cost came in at a budget-friendly $17,000. This significant cost reduction was achieved by removing unnecessary expenses, better vendor selection and making informed choices. Such savings are feasible for every project with careful consideration and smart sourcing.
Cabinet providers vary widely, and navigating through them could consume months. While some offer superior products, the majority inflate prices due to referral sources. Tremendous savings can be realized by streamlining this aspect and again selecting the right vendors with a firm approach
Similarly, significant savings—$10,000 in the case of the aforementioned project—can be achieved in the realm of appliances if approached strategically. Unfortunately, contemporary showrooms tend to limit options, steering customers towards what's visible due to sales reps' commission structures. However, there exist numerous alternatives with substantial cost benefits beyond what's on display.
In general, by allowing us to guide you towards better sources or similar-quality products, a conservative estimate can predict a 25% reduction in overall product selection costs. While cost isn't always the primary concern, there are instances where it plays a pivotal role. We aim to present you with comparable options, empowering you to make educated decisions that align with your cost preferences.
Option One
Go with you first vendor, overpay and under research, making lazy poor decisions.
Option Two
Analysis paralysis, over researching and over procuring to a place of inactivity and inferior product selection.
Option Three
Have us in your corner, firmly procured products, equal quality, best price, with efficent research and time savings.
