Get experienced guidance before problems become expensive. Summerford Living helps homeowners plan projects, evaluate proposals, understand costs, and protect their investment from initial concept through final completion.
Develop a realistic scope, preliminary budget, project sequence, and next-step plan before construction begins.
Understand what each proposal includes, identify missing items, and compare contractors on equal terms.
Receive professional guidance on progress, payments, change orders, documentation, and project closeout.
Focused professional guidance for homeowners who need clarity before or during a construction project.
Phone, video, or document reviews for bid review, along with homeowner consultations and project planning, are billed as needed.
Up to two hours at the property will include a thorough bid review, along with homeowner consultations and recommended next steps for effective project planning.
A bid review is conducted to assess the written project scope and preliminary budget, which takes into account the complexity of homeowner consultations during the project planning phase.
Conduct a bid review by comparing up to three contractor proposals, identifying omissions, and organizing costs for an equal comparison during homeowner consultations to enhance project planning.
Support for homeowners who need organized planning, independent progress reviews, or ongoing representation.
We offer comprehensive project planning that includes detailed scope development, budget planning, contractor-selection support, and bid review, alongside homeowner consultations to ensure a smooth process.
During homeowner consultations, we provide on-site progress observation with photographs along with a comprehensive written report, aligning with the bid review and project planning process.
Final project review, documented punch list, bid review, and closeout guidance, along with homeowner consultations and effective project planning.
Ongoing support for bid review, homeowner consultations, project planning, budget management, schedule coordination, proposal preparation, payment processing, change-order handling, documentation, and closeout activities.
Fees for project planning are calculated progressively, so only the portion of the project within each tier receives that rate. Minimum engagement for homeowner consultations: $2,500.
Pricing is based on the approved construction budget and defined scope. Owner-requested additions may adjust the fee. Contractor overruns, corrective work, warranty work, and costs caused by errors or delays do not automatically increase the consulting fee.
We love our customers and invite you to drop by for homeowner consultations or to discuss project planning during normal business hours. Feel free to visit us for a bid review as well!
