It is never too late to involve an Owner’s Advocate to work with you. This may be assisting with contractor oversight or the pre-curser to litigation. A well planned project tends to run better and as an Owner’s Advocate we can assist in setting up a project remodel and provide valuable insights and start up information to get your project up and running.
“Contractor Oversight” generally begins (but not always) prior to a customer engaging in a written agreement with a contractor. The objective with any contracted job is to identify and understand your scope of work, review plans, contracts and any other associated paperwork that may be available.
While not a substitute for legal council, it does and will pay off to have an advocate looking at your job from your point of view. It is so important to get a second opinion on the validity of contractor “extras” and sometimes reading between the lines will prove beneficial to you. Periodic site inspections are an important part of the “Oversight” function.
It is never too late to involve a professional consultant in your project whether large or small. The fees are small compared to the thousands at risk. Fees are quoted based on the scope of work, length of service, quantity of site visits and may range from 3.0% – 5.0%+ of the job cost. Example: a $100,000 renovation improvement, consultant fees may range from $3000 to $5000 depending on the client’s needs, quantity of inspections, on-site meeting, etc. Contact for specific job requirements.
