Yes, ADVOCATE - Residential Construction Advisors can step in at any point in the building process to add value. The earlier that we are involved in the process the greater the impact we can have on the final result, but we will help homeowners and teams up until the last day.
Yes, our team is skilled at evaluating sub-contractor and builder bids to ensure that all of the required scope is included and that any issues with the terms of the agreements are thoroughly evaluated.

Clients with major projects that want to ensure that someone is looking out for their best interest.
