Owner-Builder Consulting
"If you’ve got somebody good, it’s easy,” said Mr. McNichol, a business consultant.
Did you know you really can save $10k to $100k by eliminating the middleman and being your own general contractor? Our Build by Numberssm program helps you create the home of your dreams and make it more affordable--even if you’ve never lifted a hammer.
How Can This Be?
Simple. When you exclude the contractor’s profit, their markup on materials and on sub-contractor’s services, you’ll save tens of thousands of dollars that you can then put into your savings, back into the house for more equity, upgrade your home or a family vacation!
And this is how . . .
First - Because we have simplified the process through our Build by Numberssm program you will understand the process of construction and why you need to follow the customized timeline we prepare for your project.
You’ll avoid many mistakes, costly delays, and cost over-runs that normally happen to other owner builders that do not work with a construction consultant.
Second - You have access to an experienced contractor who is available for you, at any time, and will catch problems before they occur. Your consultant will be able to inspect the quality of workmanship and let you know if it is sub-par or if they missed something on the plans. You will have expert construction advice at your fingertips.
Third - You have access to all our resources and discounts. We will forward any sale information on to you as our client, as well as discounts we receive as a contractor from suppliers and subcontractors.
Fourth - We recommend subcontractors and material suppliers that we have either worked with or have been recommended to us. We manage this list continuously in order to give you the most up-to-date and reliable list.
What you get:
As part of the owner-builder program, you will receive:
- Unlimited personalized on-call assistance throughout your project
- Progress inspections
- Detailed schedules and timelines
- Cost breakdown for each phase
- Preferred provider/subcontractor lists
- Contracts and general specifications for subcontractors
- Training video and step-by-step notebooks that you can always have by your side
At Maitral Construction LLC we will coach you through the process of:
- Custom planning – you’ll receive step-by-step instructions and consulting throughout the construction of your project. Our resources become your resources.
- Project Coordination – you will receive a customized timeline for your project that will tell you exactly when you need to get bids, order materials, schedule inspections, etc. This is known as the critical path – you need to do this before you do that.
- Crisis Management – no matter how much experience you have with construction, challenges arise (for us too!). It’s the nature of construction. We are here to coach you through these challenges. Our 30+ years of experience is at your finger tips along with our ingenious problem solving. Both can save you time and money.
- Cost savings – you will have access to our contractor discounts as well as our list of pre-approved subcontractors.
You can save up to $100,000 or more by being your own general contractor.
Why do you need us?
You need us because we understand the process of building and remodeling. We understand what needs to be done and in what order. We understand the issues that you may run into as you build or remodel. We understand when a bid is missing something or is overly aggressive. We know the best materials for your purposes and the best subcontractors to use to get your job done cost effectively and time efficiently. When you build a home on your own, you are likely to run into issues that you are not familiar with, issues that may cause time for you to research. Why spend all those hours talking to different people or reading numerous books or articles online when you can simply make one phone call – to us – and we answer your question within the same day, if possible, not causing project delays which eventually will cost you money.
As one client said: “If you’ve got somebody good, it’s easy,” said Mr. McNichol, a business consultant. “Roger is a walking encyclopedia of construction. He never said, ‘Oh, I have to look into it.’ ”
So, What's the Cost?
Believe it or not, building your home with Maitral Construction LLC is the least expensive way to build or remodel your home. Much less than the 15%+ markup on materials, labor and fees charged by a traditional building contractor. Using our Equity Maximizing Systemsm, you can still save more than if you were to build on your own with no contractor or consultant due to the costly delays and challenges that will arise. With Maitral Construction LLC, you'll save from every angle.
