You have heard the stories. Home renovation gone wrong is practically its own genre at this point. Someone fired not one builder, but two. The construction project delays stretched a year past the original timeline. The architect delivered a gorgeous, magazine-worthy design with absolutely zero closets. Custom home build cost overruns wiped out the contingency fund before the foundation was even poured. By the end, everyone was at each other’s throats, the budget was a distant memory, and the dream home had turned into a full-blown nightmare. These are not rare edge cases. Custom home build problems and custom home renovation mistakes happen all the time, usually because no one was minding the whole picture. No residential construction oversight. No one catching architect builder communication problems before they became expensive blowups. No buffer between the homeowner and the chaos.

That is exactly why hiring an owner’s representative is one of the smartest moves you can make before breaking ground. I exist so you get to live in your dream home without living through the nightmare of building it.

A successful home renovation or construction project should be Thoughtful, Efficient, Simple and Happy. How does TESH make that happen? I interpret and coordinate the needs of the client, builder, architect and designer. My focus is organization and I manage a residential project team from planning thru the construction process until the dishes are put away in their pre-ordained spot.

Builders like me because decisions are prompt, change orders are rare, and client expectations are managed. Architects like me because I keep track of all selections and I assist with space planning and drawings.  Designers like me because I help translate the client’s needs, minimize indecision, and shoulder many design details.  Clients like me because their vision is seamlessly translated into their dream home without the aggravation and pitfalls of doing it themselves.

The builders, architects, designers and clients all appreciate that there is one person keeping their eye on the ball: TESH.
