Estimate, sub bid and contract review for contractors

Check your number
before you send it.

I've been a licensed GC in South Florida for 21 years and I've written hundreds of these. Send me the plans, your estimate, the sub bids you're leaning on, and the contract you're about to sign. We get on a call for 90 minutes and I show you what you didn't carry, where your margin actually is, and what in that paperwork is going to come out of your pocket. Then I write it up.

How it works

Pretty simple.

I'm not bidding against you 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 them before I signed them myself, and we talk.

Book it and send me the folder

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, your takeoff or estimate, the sub bids, and the contract or proposal you're about to sign. Don't clean it up. Send it the way it sits on your desk.

Today

We get on a call

90 minutes on Zoom. I go through your number trade by trade and tell you what it should carry. We level the sub bids. Then we go through the contract. You ask me anything. I record it and send you the video.

Within 5 business days

You get it in writing

A report with the should-cost by trade next to your number, what's missing and what it costs, the sub bid comparison, the contract changes to ask for, and what I'd do: submit it, raise it, rebid it, or walk.

3 business days after the call
Pricing

Priced by the size of the job.

Priced by contract value. Same review at every level. Bigger jobs have more trades, more sub bids and more paper, so they take me longer.

About me

I’ve missed a line item. I’ve absorbed a change order. I know how quickly a small oversight can affect an entire job.

I’ve been a licensed GC in South Florida for 21 years, working on everything from ground-up homes and additions to restaurants, medical and retail build-outs, multifamily projects, and complex condo renovations.

I’ve estimated hundreds of jobs, reviewed subcontractor proposals, negotiated buyouts, managed change orders, and closed out permits. I understand the pressure because I’ve been on the same side of the table—trying to protect the margin, serve the client, and keep the project moving when the numbers are tight.

Along the way, I started sharing real costs and lessons from real projects online. Today, nearly 100,000 people follow that work. This service brings the same practical perspective to your project, one-on-one, from one GC to another.

I’m not here to compete for your job or second-guess how you run your business. If I’m already involved with the project, I’ll tell you immediately and decline the review. Your estimates, subcontractors, clients, and project information remain confidential.

Think of me as an experienced second set of eyes—a fellow GC who understands what is at stake and will give you a direct, honest assessment before a missed detail becomes an expensive problem.

Questions I get

Before you book

Are you going to see my numbers and use them against me?

No. Your estimate, your sub pricing and your client's name don't leave the call. If it turns out you're bidding a job I'm already on, I'll tell you before we start and refund you.

I haven't finished my estimate. Can I still send it?

Yes. Send what you have, the plans, and the sub bids. Half the value is finding the trades you haven't priced yet.

Can you do my takeoff for me?

Not on this call. This is a review of your number, not a replacement for it. If you want the estimate built for you, that's a different conversation and I'll tell you what it costs.

Will you talk to my sub or the owner?

No. You get the questions to send them, in writing, and what a straight answer looks like. It's your job. I'm the guy you called before you signed.

Are you going to tell me my price is too low?

Probably. Most of the estimates I see are. I'll also tell you exactly where, so you can decide whether to raise it or walk.

My job isn't in Florida.

Estimates, sub bids and contracts work the same way everywhere. My pricing knowledge is South Florida, so for other markets I'll flag which numbers you should check locally.

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 job?

Yes. Some contractors keep me on through the build to check draws, change orders and the schedule, and some join my monthly group. 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. Your numbers stay between us.
