Coastal San Diego
Owner's Representative for Custom Homes in Del Mar
Del Mar brings bluff top engineering, tight lots, and a plan check (the city's review of your plans before a permit is issued) that runs on its own schedule. Budgets here are won or lost well before the first shovel, which is where I do most of my work.
The only person on your build who works for you. Flat fee, no referral fees, one plain report a month.

Overruns: $750,000
New builds typically run about 15% over, driven by low allowances (placeholder budgets for things you haven't picked yet), gaps in the plans, and change orders (price changes for work added or changed after you sign) that nobody checks.
Delays: $120,000
About 4 extra months of loan interest, rent, and insurance, at roughly $30,000 a month.
