Budget Analysis and Estimates

One of our most valued services, we assist many clients with budget analysis and cost estimating. We can help you compare cost for different materials or construction methods; and we work closely with subcontractors to ensure your cost estimates are up to date and provide maximum value.

Green Products and Energy Efficiency

This type of consulting blends well with budget analysis. We can help you build a sustainable home by including energy efficiency upgrades and integrating them with the home design. We can also consult with you on a variety of green products such as painting, lighting, flooring, windows, HVAC and more.

Energy Modeling

Using computer-based tools to simulate energy use, we can assess the annual energy used by a building and quantify potential savings.  Energy modeling can inform the design and decision-making process, providing information to detemine what design strategies will have the greatest impact on the building's energy use.
