Experienced support alongside.

Talk about your project

Support at the stages that matter.

A concierge scope can run from early planning through closeout. Russell can help prepare questions for contractor selection, discuss proposals and allowances, organize open decisions and support you when changes come up. The exact services are agreed in writing for your project.

  • Planning and proposal guidance
  • Scheduled project check-ins and meetings
  • Questions about proposed changes
  • Preparing for the final walkthrough

What local involvement can look like.

Depending on the agreed scope, Russell can join meetings or make scheduled site visits around San Marcos, Austin, Wimberley, Kyle, Buda, New Braunfels and surrounding Central Texas communities. Travel, availability, number of visits and communication between them are confirmed in your proposal.

The contractor still runs construction.

Your contractor remains responsible for crews, permits, scheduling, construction methods, safety and workmanship. You remain the decision-maker. Concierge means homeowner advisory support within the scope you agree; it does not mean continuous site supervision or unlimited availability.

A custom scope, agreed before work starts.

The proposal sets out services, meetings, visits, communication, duration and fees. It also addresses what happens if the construction project takes longer. You can ask about concierge directly.

A second set of eyes, not a competing bid.

Russell does not bid on the construction project he is advising you on. His role is to help you understand the work and prepare questions for the contractor you hire. Site observations and document reviews cannot reveal all hidden conditions or replace required inspections, licensed design or legal advice.

A few more details.

Is this the same as construction project management?+

Our concierge service is homeowner advisory support. It does not promise full construction management, continuous supervision or responsibility for the contractor’s work. Your written scope defines the involvement.

Can I get ongoing help without site visits?+

Yes. Ask about Remodel Guidance for scheduled remote check-ins and document reviews at agreed milestones. The support and fee are confirmed for your project.
