Your home. Your rules. Our protection.
Two ways to build without losing control of your money. Self-build with our guidance and keep the 20-30% a general contractor would charge, or keep your contractor and let us catch what they'd rather you didn't see.

There are two ways to do this
Build it yourself
You act as your own general contractor and keep the markup. We give you the roadmap: the schedule, the vetted subs, the budget, the permit packets, and a weekly call so you are never guessing what happens next. You make the decisions. We make sure they are informed ones.
See how self-build worksKeep your contractor
You already have a builder and you want to keep them honest. We review every invoice and draw request against the contract, flag markups that were never disclosed, verify work is actually complete before you pay for it, and tell you plainly when something is off. Your builder builds. We watch the money.

Somebody is making 20-30% on your house
On a million-dollar build that is a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and most of it is invisible to you. It hides in allowances that were set too low on purpose, change orders priced after the fact, and subcontractor invoices you never see. We have written those invoices. We know exactly where the money goes, because for thirty years we were the ones collecting it.

Nick and Kosta built these homes as general contractors before founding NKC Consulting. That is the experience we bring to your build, without the contractor markup.
Where we help
Design consultation
We walk through your vision, your budget, and your timeline in one working session, and point out where those three things conflict before you spend money finding out.
Project budgeting
We help you build a real line-item budget by cost code instead of a one-page estimate, so you know what every division should cost before you sign anything.
Financing and bank draws
We help you gather what your lender needs up front and stay with you through the draw process, so you know what to submit, when to submit it, and what a complete draw request looks like.
Permits and HOA submittals
We help you compile the plans and documents your city and your HOA actually require, so you go in with a complete package instead of guessing at what they want.
Calls and site visits
We talk every week to review schedule, spend, and what happens next. We also come out to the job. How often depends on the stage, since framing week and drywall week are not the same thing. Between calls, you can reach us.
Punch list and warranty
We help you build the final punch list and show you how to hold each trade to it, so you get the warranty documentation you will need in year two.
Your build, in one place
Every client gets access to a private portal with their budget, schedule, invoices, documents, and photos in one place. No more digging through email threads to find out what a line item cost or when the framing inspection passed.
