Build Smart. Build Safe. 

Construction projects are exciting, but they are also expensive and confusing. You wouldn't go to court without a lawyer, yet homeowners frequently sign massive construction contracts without anyone on their side to read the fine print.

At Mac’s Construction Consulting, we bridge the gap between your vision and the construction reality.

We act as your Construction Advisor, sitting on your side of the table. Whether you are managing a project yourself, hiring a General Contractor, or just exploring the feasibility of an addition, we give you the unbiased facts you need to make confident decisions.

What We Do For You

We provide "Expertise on Demand." You don't have to hire us to build the whole project to get the benefit of our experience.

• Feasibility & Budgeting: Before you spend thousands on architectural plans, we help you determine if your project is realistic for your budget and zoning.

• Bid Review & Vetting: We review quotes from other contractors to spot hidden exclusions, low-ball allowances, or overpriced line items. We help you pick the right contractor, not just the cheapest one.

• Scope Development: We help you write a clear Scope of Work so every contractor is bidding on the exact same thing (Apples-to-Apples).

• Project Rescue: If a project is going off the rails, we step in to audit the work, mediate with the contractor, and get things back on track.

Why You Need a Consultant

Most homeowners only build once or twice in a lifetime. Contractors do this every day. That creates an imbalance of power.

We level the playing field. We speak the language of construction ("Contractor-Speak") and translate it into plain English for you. We spot the red flags in a contract or a schedule that you might miss, saving you from costly change orders down the road.

The MCC Difference

• Hourly Transparency: Unlike architects who charge a percentage of your total build cost, we charge a simple Hourly Rate. You only pay for the advice you need, when you need it.

• No Sales Pressure: We aren't trying to sell you a kitchen remodel. We are paid to tell you the truth about your remodel.

• Real-World Experience: We are licensed builders. Our advice isn't theory; it's based on years of actual field experience.

Who This Is Best For

• The "DIY" Manager: Homeowners acting as their own General Contractor who need occasional expert oversight.

• The Smart Shopper: Clients considering multiple bids who want an impartial expert to help them choose.

• The Planner: Anyone in the early stages of a remodel who wants to set a realistic budget before talking to builders.

How It Works

Support can be as light or as involved as you need. Some clients hire us for a one-time "feasibility check" (2-4 hours) to review a quote. Others retain us for monthly site visits to ensure their contractor is following the plans. You are in the driver's seat; we are just the navigator.
