What we do

When a homeowner enters a renovation, they often don't know what they don't know. The architect focuses on the design. The contractor is tasked with turning that design into reality. But nobody is taking the overarching view, start to finish.

That's where we come in — connecting the dots between disciplines, managing the risk, and making sure your investment is protected.

01

Owner Representation

Best for: homeowners in pre-construction or early design who want an independent strategic partner

We act as your strategic partner from day one: pressure-testing the plan, organizing the team, managing the budget, and keeping the project accountable through completion.

  • Scope review, risk identification, and project framing

  • Bid leveling and apples-to-apples proposal comparison

  • Ongoing coordination with weekly oversight

  • Change-order review and budget forecasting

02

Scoping

Best for: homeowners scoping a renovation who need to understand what's involved, who to hire, and what it will cost before committing

We help you build a clear picture of what your project will actually take — the full scope of work, a realistic timeline, who you need to hire, and what it should cost across multiple budget options.

  • Project scope definition with phased timelines and material planning

  • Detailed crew mapping: architects, trades, and GC recommendations

  • Three-tier cost estimates covering materials, labor, and permits

  • Hiring sequencing so you bring on the right people at the right time

03

Permit and Code Strategy

Best for: complex projects involving zoning variances, historic review, or multi-agency approvals

Permit and zoning complexity can derail a project — adding months and forcing expensive redesigns. We combine hands-on regulatory strategy with our AI-powered PermitWut! tool.

  • Address-specific permit and zoning intelligence

  • Submission sequencing and timeline planning

  • Support for hearings and board presentations

  • Strategic guidance for slope, wetlands, flood zones, and historic review

04

Energy Strategy

Best for: homeowners planning major renovations who want to optimize long-term utility costs

Most homeowners don't realize how much they're overpaying on energy — or how a renovation can fix or worsen the problem. We pair strategic advisory with our WattsWut! tool.

  • Utility rate detection and savings projections

  • Solar, battery, and backup power evaluation

  • Rebate, incentive, and tax credit identification

  • Long-term cost modeling for project investment decisions

05

Risk Mitigation

Best for: properties in flood zones, fire-prone areas, or high-wind regions

Flood, fire, wind, and climate risk directly affect your property value, insurance premiums, and the durability of any renovation. We combine advisory with our RiskWut! tool.

  • Address-specific risk scoring using FEMA, USGS, NRI data

  • Personalized hardening plan prioritized by risk and cost

  • Insurance gap identification and premium reduction strategies

  • Code-compliant hardening coordination with contractors

06

AI Design Iteration

Best for: homeowners in early design who want to explore options before formal architect revisions

Small design changes take too long when every option flows through the architect. We use AI tools to help you explore ideas for interiors, exteriors, and landscapes quickly.

  • Fast visual exploration of interior and exterior directions

  • Rapid testing of finishes, colors, and layouts

  • Side-by-side option development to narrow decisions

  • Early refinement before formal architect revisions
