What this is — and isn't
An on-site consultation is professional construction guidance from an experienced General Contractor. It isn't a home inspection, code inspection, engineering assessment, architectural service, or legal advice. It doesn't involve opening walls or any destructive investigation, and it isn't a guarantee of construction costs or concealed conditions.
The Build Consult isn't visiting to sell construction work. If something calls for a specialist, I'll tell you when more professional input may be appropriate.
FAQ
Common questions.
- What happens after I book?
- You'll receive a confirmation with your visit time. Before the consultation, email any plans, estimates, proposals, photos, or other relevant documents to hello@thebuildconsult.com, so we can spend the visit on what matters most.
- What areas do you serve?
- On-site consultations are available in Los Angeles and nearby areas. If you're farther out, or would rather meet remotely, the Virtual Construction Consultation works from anywhere.
- Can you review my contractor's bid while you're here?
- Yes. Seeing the proposal and the space together is one of the most useful parts of an on-site visit. Send it ahead of time and we'll go through the scope, pricing structure, allowances, and questions you may want to ask before moving forward.
- Is this a home inspection?
- No. It's independent construction guidance, not an inspection, engineering assessment, or evaluation of concealed conditions. If something looks like it needs a specialist, I'll say so.
