Construction consultancy — Innovative Home Solutions
Proposal development, strategy and planning and project consultancy, alongside permitting, project planning, consultant coordination and the meeting with the building official — plus advisory support for roofing, general contracting, plumbing, electrical and mechanical / A-C trades. We work alongside contractors and their subcontractors, and put everything we agree in writing so it can be built against.
What we bring to a project
These are on our own card because they are what a client actually hires us for. Everything below on this page is how they are delivered.
The proposal written out properly — scope, inclusions, exclusions and price basis — so the client knows exactly what is being committed to before work starts.
The job planned before it is priced: programme, sequencing, long-lead items and trade interfaces settled while changing them is still cheap.
A consultant carried through the project — permits filed, consultants answering the same question the same way, and the trades kept on one plan.
Work reviewed against the specification it was written to, with compliance checked ahead of inspection rather than after it.
Contract · Proposal · Estimate · Invoice
A construction job is only as solid as the documents behind it. We develop the proposal, set the contract, put the estimate on the same scope, and keep the billing traceable to what was agreed.
Terms, scope and responsibilities set down in writing before mobilisation, so the agreement is on paper rather than in recollection.
The proposal developed to the point a client can approve it — what is included, what is not, and on what basis it is priced.
An estimate that follows the scope: quantities, trade packages and the assumptions behind each figure, stated plainly.
Billing that matches the work and the contract — clean, itemised and traceable back to what was agreed.
Start with whichever document you are stuck on — a proposal that needs writing, a contract that needs checking, or an estimate that has to line up with the scope.
Send me the detailsWhat the consultancy covers
Most of the cost in a project is not in the work; it is in the waiting, the re-submittals and the surprises between trades. These are the services we run so that the trades below can just build.
In plain terms
We prepare and file the permits, plan the project before it is priced, keep the consultants answering the same question the same way, sit in the meeting with the building official, and follow it through to sign-off.
Start with a permit questionApplications, submittals and approvals
Permit applications prepared, submitted and tracked through to issue — the forms, the drawings and the supporting documents a jurisdiction asks for, assembled in the order it asks for them, with re-submittals handled rather than left with you.
Enquire about thisScope, programme and sequencing
The project planned before it is priced: scope defined, programme sequenced, long-lead items identified early and trade interfaces mapped, so the trades are not discovering each other’s work on site.
Enquire about thisProgramme, sequencing and scope settled early
The job planned before it is priced: programme, sequencing, long-lead items and trade interfaces settled while changing them is still cheap.
Enquire about thisWritten proposal, priced and ready to approve
The proposal developed properly — scope, inclusions, exclusions and price basis written out — so the client knows exactly what is being committed to before work starts.
Enquire about thisOne coordinated set of answers
Architect, engineer and specialist consultants coordinated so the answers reaching your trades agree with each other. We chase the information, reconcile the drawings and put the outcome in writing.
Enquire about thisOn your side of the table
We attend the pre-application and plan-review meetings with the building official — introductions made, questions asked in the right language, and what was agreed written down afterwards so nothing is left to recollection.
Enquire about thisReviewed before it is submitted
Drawings and specifications checked against the applicable code and the authority’s own review comments before submission, so corrections are made on paper rather than on site.
Enquire about thisSign-off, sequenced to the programme
Inspection stages planned into the programme and the close-out documents prepared as the work completes, so final sign-off and the certificate of occupancy are reached without a hold-up at the end.

The part that stalls projects
Applications, review comments, inspections and final sign-off are stages with dates attached, not paperwork to deal with once the work is finished. We put them in the programme from the beginning.
Trades we advise
Each trade has its own pressures — but on site they share the same ceilings, risers and programme. Our value is in the interface between them, and in the approvals that govern all five.
Covering selection, detailing and weather-tightness
Consultancy across roofing systems — flat and pitched, membrane and metal. We review specification against build-up, drainage and warranty requirements, and advise on sequencing so roof works do not hold up the programme.
Enquire about RoofingProgramme, sequencing and trade coordination
Support for general contracting: works packages, trade interfaces, programme logic and site coordination. We help tie the trades together so handovers between them stop becoming rework.
Enquire about General ContractingSanitary, drainage and water services
Plumbing consultancy covering above-ground drainage, water services, sanitary installation and pressure testing, with attention to routing that works with the structure rather than against it.
Enquire about PlumbingPower, containment and compliance
Electrical consultancy from intake and distribution through containment, small power and lighting. Load planning, coordination with other services and compliance review ahead of inspection.
Enquire about ElectricalHVAC design intent and commissioning
Mechanical and air-conditioning consultancy: equipment sizing, ductwork and refrigerant routing, controls intent and commissioning, coordinated with the electrical and plumbing services it shares space with.

How the consultancy works
We are not the contractor and we do not replace your team. We are the second pair of eyes on the parts of a project that are hardest to change later.
We take the drawings, the specification and the programme, and put in writing what the trade package actually has to deliver.
Specification, sequencing and interfaces are checked against what the other trades are doing — before the work is fixed in place.
Services routes, penetrations and handover points are agreed between trades, so one trade does not undo the one before it.
Testing and commissioning intent is confirmed, with compliance reviewed ahead of inspection rather than after it.
Engagement
Projects range from a single permit application or a specification review to a contractor wanting the approvals, the consultants and the MEP services coordinated end to end. The engagement is scaled to the question.
