Somebody in the room who works for you.
Hire a builder and nobody at the table is paid to protect your money, your date, or your resale. That is the job here: reading the bids, holding the schedule, walking the work, and telling you what it actually means. By the hour, on your side.

Full background on the operator sheetOWNER'S REPRESENTATION
NOT THEIR
PROJECT MANAGER.
A general contractor works for the general contractor. An architect works to the drawings. Nobody in that room is paid to protect your money, your date, or your resale. An owner's representative is. You hire one person, by the hour, whose only job is to read what you are being handed and tell you the truth about it.
Reads the bids
Three bids that look forty thousand dollars apart are usually three different scopes. I level them line by line so you are comparing the same house.
Holds the schedule
Somebody has to own the calendar and call the slip the week it happens, not the month after. That is the job.
Walks the work
Site visits on a set cadence, with a written note the same day. What got done, what did not, what is about to become a problem.
Reads the change orders
Every change order is a claim. Some are fair. I tell you which ones, and what the number should have been.
Speaks contractor
I have been the contractor. I know where the money hides, because I have had to find it in my own jobs.
THREE WAYS TO USE AN HOUR
YOUR SIDE
OF THE TABLE.
Most owners hire a builder and then have nobody in the room who works for them. This is Dustin Olverson on your side of the table: reading the bids, holding the schedule, walking the work, and telling you what it actually means. Two hundred dollars an hour, flat, plus expenses. No percentage of your budget.
THE RATE

Consultation
One project, one read, in writing. You bring the drawings, the bids, or the bad feeling. I tell you what is actually in front of you.

Coaching
A standing block of my hours, used on your actual deals. Not a course. Not a certificate. My phone, before you sign.

Project Management
You hire the builder. I run the owner's side of the job: the schedule, the draws, the change orders, and the closeout. Hourly, so my fee does not grow when your project does.
