Honest advice
You'll hear what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. If a bid looks risky, a timeline is unrealistic, or a scope is unclear — you'll know, with specifics.
About OB Construction Consultants
Helping homeowners build with confidence
OB Construction Consultants was founded to bridge the knowledge gap between homeowners and the construction process. Too many renovation projects start without clear expectations, solid bids, or a plan — and that leads to stress, cost overruns, and regret.
The mission
Homeowners deserve an advocate who understands construction but works exclusively for them — not the contractor, not the architect, not the lender. OB Construction Consultants exists to give you the clarity and confidence to make smarter decisions before the first nail is driven.
Whether it's a bathroom refresh or a whole-home renovation, the goal is the same: help you start right so the project runs smoother, costs stay closer to budget, and you feel in control.
The approach
Every engagement starts with listening. Understanding your goals, your concerns, and where you are in the process lets me tailor advice that's actually useful — not generic checklists pulled from the internet.
From there, the focus is on practical deliverables: bid reviews with real notes, interview questions that surface the right information, and expectation-setting that prepares you for the realities of construction — timelines, disruptions, decisions, and change orders.
What guides the work
A few principles that shape every client interaction.
Homeowner-first
No referral fees, no contractor partnerships, no conflicts of interest. The only client is you, and the only goal is your project's success.
Practical, not theoretical
Advice is grounded in how construction actually works — not how it should work in a perfect world. Expect real-world guidance you can act on immediately.
