Protect your design from the budget.

I keep your client's project on budget so the house gets built the way you drew it.

The four promises

What you can count on, in writing.

Flat fee.

Paid the same whether the budget grows or not.

No kickbacks.

I never accept referral fees from anyone.

You decide everything.

I advise. Every decision stays with your client.

Plain monthly reporting.

One clear report a month. No surprises.

What I don't do

I don't redesign your work or second-guess your design. I protect it.

Two ways in

Refer a client, or keep me handy.

Either one takes a minute. If you'd rather just text or email me, that works too.

Refer a client

Tell me who you're thinking of.

A few lines is plenty. I'll reach out to your client directly and keep you posted.

I contact your client personally. Nothing is sent to them automatically.

In writing

I never pay or accept referral fees. My recommendation is only worth something if it can't be bought.
