Questions

Do you replace my architect or contractor?
No. We review the decisions they put in front of you. Our reports are advisory and do not replace architects, engineers, licensed trades, inspectors, lawyers or financial professionals.
When do I pay?
After intake. You see the recommended tier and its flat price before any analysis is released to you.
How fast is a report?
Most asynchronous reviews are delivered within 48 hours of payment and complete materials.
What if my documents are incomplete?
We'll tell you exactly what's missing rather than guessing, and hold the review until you can supply it.
