About
Hi, I'm Hannah.
My career in construction has given me the opportunity to work from three very different perspectives: for subcontractors, general contractors, and directly for project owners.
I've worked across multifamily housing, complex medical projects, commercial construction, and high-end residential projects—including luxury homes and condominiums valued at approximately $30 million.
Working on different sides of the industry has shaped the way I look at construction. I understand how contractors approach scope and pricing, how individual trades execute the work, and how projects and decisions look from the owner's side—the person ultimately responsible for the investment.
My experience spans project management, preconstruction, estimating and budgeting, scope and proposal review, contractor coordination, and navigating the countless decisions that come with taking a project from an idea into construction.
I created The Build Consult to make that experience accessible in a much simpler way.
You shouldn't have to hire a contractor, architect, or full project team just to have an experienced construction professional sit down with you and help you understand what you're looking at.
Whether you're considering buying a property, planning a renovation, reviewing a contractor's proposal, or simply trying to figure out where to begin, my role is to help you understand the project, identify the questions worth asking, and approach your next decision with better information.

Most contractor consultations are designed around winning the construction project.
This isn't.
You're paying specifically for our time, experience, and perspective. Your consultation is focused on helping you understand your project—not selling you construction services.
