Construction management for homeowners in Westchester County & Greenwich, CT

A builder's judgment, working only for you.

When a project is bigger than one trade, we manage it on your behalf: budget, schedule, the right trades, and someone on site who knows what good work looks like.

The approach

On your side of the table.

Open books

You see every bid and every invoice. Trades are priced competitively and contracted with you directly, so there is no hidden markup.

One clear fee

We are paid a management fee agreed up front, [fixed or % of construction cost]. Nothing from the trades on projects we manage.

Someone on site

Regular site visits, a weekly written update, and a single person who answers for the schedule and the quality.

What we manage

From the first drawing to the last punch-list item.

i. Before
  • Budget and feasibility review
  • Working with your architect
  • Bidding and trade selection
  • Permits and schedule
ii. During
  • Coordinating every trade
  • Quality checks on site
  • Reviewing invoices and change orders
  • Weekly progress reports
iii. After
  • Punch list to completion
  • Inspections and sign-offs
  • Warranties and manuals in one place
  • A call back when something needs attention

Is it right for you?

Best for projects of [$250,000] and up.

Kitchens and baths done together, additions, whole-floor renovations, and second homes managed while you are away.

Smaller jobs are usually better served by a single trusted trade. We can introduce you to one.

Discuss a project

Start with a conversation.

An hour at the house, no charge, to look at the plans and talk through budget and timing.
