that bid yet.

I've been a licensed general contractor in South Florida for 21 years. Send me your plans, the bid and the contract. We get on a call for 90 minutes and I show you what the job should cost, what the contractor left off, and which lines are going to turn into change orders. Then I write it all up so you have it.

How it works

Pretty simple.

I’m not coming to your house, and I’m not going to try to sell you anything after the call. You send me the plans and relevant documents, I read them the way I’d read a sub’s bid on one of my own jobs, and we talk.

Book it and send me what you have

Fill out the form at the bottom. I’ll reply the same day with a payment link and a few available appointment times for you to choose from. Then email me the plans, photos, the bid, the contract, any change orders—whatever the contractor has sent you. Don’t clean it up. I want to see it the way you received it.

Today

We get on a call

90 minutes on Zoom. I go down the bid line by line and tell you what each piece should cost. Then we go through the contract. You ask me anything you want. I record it and send you the video, because you're not going to remember all of it and neither would I.

Within 5 business days

You get it in writing

A report with the should-cost by trade, what's missing and what it'll cost when it shows up, what to change in the contract, and the questions to email your contractor before you sign. Written so you can hand it to him.

3 business days after the call
Pricing

Priced by the size of the job.

Same review at every level, a 90-minute call and the written report. Bigger jobs just have more trades, more paper, and more places for money to disappear, so they take me longer.

About me

A licensed GC helping you understand your project

I’ve been a licensed general contractor in South Florida for 21 years. My experience includes ground-up homes, additions, restaurants, medical and retail build-outs, multifamily projects, and condominium renovations.

Over the years, I’ve estimated hundreds of jobs, reviewed subcontractor proposals, handled change orders, managed construction, and closed out permits. That experience has taught me where costs are often overlooked, unclear, or difficult for a property owner to evaluate.

I also share real construction costs and practical advice online, where nearly 100,000 people follow my work. This consultation brings that same straightforward approach to your specific project, one-on-one.

I want to be clear: this is an independent review, not a sales call. I’m not trying to become your contractor, and I don’t receive compensation for recommending contractors or vendors. My role is simply to review your plans, estimates, contracts, and other relevant documents, explain what I see, and give you an honest professional opinion.

Questions I get

Before you book

I don't have plans. Can you still look at the bid?

Yes. Photos, a sketch on a napkin, the contractor's scope and the bid are enough for me to check the pricing and the contract. If the job really needs drawings and nobody has drawn any, that's finding number one.

Is this an inspection?

No. I don't come to the property. I'm reading documents: the bid, the plans, the contract. If what you actually need is a home inspector, a structural engineer or a code inspection, I'll say so in the report.

Will you call my contractor?

No, and you don't want me to. The report gives you the questions to send him and tells you what a good answer sounds like. It goes better for you when it's you asking.

Are you going to try to bid the job?

No. If you ask me to after the review, I'll turn it down. That's the whole reason the review is worth paying for.

My project isn't in Florida.

Bids and contracts work the same way everywhere. Allowances, exclusions, draw schedules, missing scope. I'll go through all of it. My pricing knowledge is South Florida, so for other markets I'll flag which numbers you should check locally.

I already signed. Too late?

No. If you're mid-job and the change orders have started, the call turns into a change order and draw review: what's legit, what isn't, and how to keep the rest of the job from getting away from you.

What if I cancel?

Cancel any time before the call and you get the whole fee back. Once we've had the call, it's earned.

Can you stay on for the whole project?

Some people ask me to keep checking draws, change orders and the schedule through construction. Yes, that's a thing. Ask me on the call.

Book a review

Tell me about the job.

I'll get back to you the same business day with the payment link and a few available appointment times for you to choose from. Nothing gets charged until you decide to pay.
