ABR Advisory

ABR Advisory Helping homeowners and investors protect their construction investment through independent consulting, inspections, and owner representation.

AB Remodeling has been providing quality services for over 2 decades. Through this time we've gained much knowledge, experience, and expertise in both remodeling and new construction. Our main focus has been residential with some great commercial experience as well (CapX, tenant finish outs, new builds,etc). While we will still take on the occasional project, our focus is shifting to helping homeowners ensure their hard earned money isn't going to waste by providing the tools they need to self manage, providing a reliable company to hire, and providing help for subcontractors to grow successfully.

NOT EVERY CONTRACTOR IS THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR.

A contractor can be good at construction and still be the wrong contractor for your project.

Price matters—but so do:

• Relevant project experience
• References
• Insurance and qualifications
• Communication
• Financial stability
• Scope clarity
• Scheduling capacity
• Contract terms

Choosing a contractor should be a business decision, not just a reaction to the lowest estimate or best sales presentation.

ABR Advisory helps owners evaluate proposals, ask better questions, and make more informed hiring decisions.

The right contractor at the beginning can prevent a lot of problems at the end.

A CLEAR SCOPE PREVENTS COSTLY CONFUSION.

Many construction disputes don’t begin with bad workmanship.

They begin with two people having completely different ideas about what was supposed to be included.

A strong scope of work creates clarity around:

• Work to be performed
• Materials and specifications
• Responsibilities
• Allowances
• Exclusions
• Pricing expectations

The clearer the project is before work begins, the fewer opportunities there are for misunderstandings later.

ABR Advisory helps owners develop and review scopes so everyone starts with the same expectations.

Clarity before construction can save money during construction.

DON’T RELEASE PAYMENT BLINDLY.

A draw request shouldn’t automatically mean a payment gets released.

Before money changes hands, owners should understand:

• What work has actually been completed
• Whether the work matches the requested draw
• What materials are on site
• What remains unfinished
• Whether documentation supports the amount requested

ABR Advisory helps owners review progress, draw requests, and project documentation before significant payments are released.

Pay for verified progress—not assumptions.

You may only build or remodel a few times in your life.

Your contractor does it every day.

That difference in experience can make it difficult to know which questions to ask, whether pricing is reasonable, whether the work matches the plans, or when something deserves a closer look.

ABR Advisory helps level the playing field.

Independent advice. Experienced oversight. Better-informed decisions.

Because when it’s your money and your home, you deserve someone focused on your side of the project.

Contractor A: $412,500
Contractor B: $389,000
Contractor C: $429,750

Easy decision?

Not necessarily.

One proposal may include detailed specifications, realistic allowances and a complete scope.

Another may leave out thousands of dollars of work that eventually shows up as change orders.

That’s why contractor bids should be compared scope-to-scope—not just number-to-number.

ABR Advisory helps develop clear scopes, review proposals and identify differences before you choose a contractor.

The goal isn’t necessarily the cheapest bid.

It’s the best value with the fewest surprises.

Contractors have project managers, subcontractors, suppliers and vendors protecting their side of the project.

Who is protecting yours?

Owner representation gives you an experienced construction professional focused on your goals, your budget and your interests.

ABR Advisory can help with:

• Project oversight
• Contractor communication
• Budget and scope review
• Site inspections
• Change orders
• Quality concerns
• Project documentation

You don’t have to manage a major construction project alone.

A construction contract shouldn’t be something you sign and hope works out.

Before committing to a contractor, you should understand:

• Exactly what work is included
• What is excluded
• Payment and draw requirements
• Allowances and selections
• Change-order procedures
• Schedule expectations
• Your responsibilities—and theirs

ABR Advisory reviews construction contracts from a construction and project-management perspective to help you understand what you’re agreeing to before the work begins.

A little clarity before signing can prevent a lot of frustration later.
