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.
