Fixed Consulting Session

Defined scope clarification for smaller or specific projects.

This session replaces the traditional “free quote visit.”

Before pricing, we confirm what is actually being built.

Most cost issues in residential construction occur because scope was assumed — not defined.

This session prevents that.

How Pricing Works

Before we provide a construction estimate, two steps must occur.

Step 1 — Establish Scope

We confirm:

  • What is being built

  • Structural implications

  • Approval requirements

  • Site considerations

  • Budget alignment

This prevents assumptions.

Step 2 — Prepare Estimate

Once scope is defined, we:

  • Prepare accurate pricing

  • Confirm inclusions and exclusions

  • Align timeline

  • Issue formal proposal

Pricing without confirmed scope creates variation risk.

What This Session Covers

  • Confirm exactly what is being built

  • Identify structural implications

  • Identify approval requirements

  • Align budget with realistic scope

  • Provide a written summary

  • Define the next step toward formal construction pricing

When This Applies

This service is suited to projects that:

  • Require clarification before pricing

  • Involve structural adjustment

  • May trigger approvals

  • Need realistic cost alignment

  • Cannot be priced accurately from a brief site walk

Examples:

  • New deck or deck replacement

  • Pergola or small outdoor works

  • Bathroom renovation

  • Internal structural adjustment

  • Minor extensions

What This Is Not

This session does not include:

  • Detailed architectural redesign

  • Engineering certification

  • Full feasibility study

  • Formal construction quote

Those follow once scope is defined.

Deliverables

You receive:

  • Written summary of confirmed scope

  • Clear next step toward pricing

  • Identified risks (if any)

  • Confirmation of whether the project should proceed
