It feels like your contractor took sides. Again.

Decisions are moving without you. You’re wondering why. And who is protecting your interests.

You don’t need to sit in every meeting. You do deserve:

  • Clarity on each decision and who owns it

  • Honest numbers on costs and contracts

  • A team that stays aligned and accountable

  • Confidence that someone is looking out for you

Why it feels like they took sides

  • Long-standing relationships with subs

  • Fee structures that reward higher spend

  • Allowances and change orders that creep

  • “We’ll sort it out later” decisions

Good people. Misaligned incentives. That’s fixable.

What we change, fast

  • A simple way of working the whole team follows

  • A visible decision list with owners and dates

  • A clear change-order protocol and approval steps

  • Open, comparable numbers (bid leveling, allowances tracked)

  • Short weekly check-ins where issues get solved in the room

Result: fewer surprises, cleaner trade-offs, decisions that hold.

What owners notice

  • Decisions stop reopening

  • Costs are explained before they are approved

  • Fewer “surprises” at buyout and during construction

Private residential projects. New construction and major renovation
