What this is — and isn't
A virtual consultation is professional construction guidance, not a physical inspection. It isn't engineering, architectural, or legal advice, and it isn't a guarantee of construction costs or conditions.
If your project needs a licensed specialist, I'll tell you — and help you figure out which one.
FAQ
Common questions.
- What happens after I book?
- You'll receive a confirmation with your session time. After booking, email any plans, estimates, proposals, photos, or other relevant documents to hello@thebuildconsult.com before your consultation — the more context we start with, the more you get out of the hour.
- What should I send before the call?
- Anything relevant to your project: plans, contractor estimates or proposals, photos, scope notes, or simply a list of questions. Sending them ahead to hello@thebuildconsult.com lets us spend the call on the substance instead of the background.
- Can you review my contractor's estimate during the call?
- Yes. Bid and estimate review is one of the most common uses of a virtual consult. Send the estimate ahead of time and we'll walk through the numbers, the scope behind them, and the questions worth asking your contractor.
- Do you work outside Los Angeles?
- Virtual consultations work from anywhere. On-site consultations and pre-purchase walkthroughs are available in Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
