Check Your Schedule
Choose a time that works best for you (and your Board!) and reserve a time on Jens’ schedule. You’ll have up to 90 minutes to discuss all your questions or virtually inspect the property.
If you need to reschedule or cancel, no worries! Our team will work with you to make it right.
Enter Your Information
After choosing your time slot, you’ll be prompted to submit some information about your property as well as your payment via credit, debit, or ACH bank transfer to secure your spot.
Gather Your Board & Documents
Get everyone together to decide what you want to get Jens’ help on.
Do you want him to spend some time on document review before your meeting? (usually one of the 2 hours)
Do you need him to attend a board meeting, review contractor bids, or inspect your building via Zoom?
Send over your requests!

Once your Board has a list of questions ready, log in to your Zoom call with Jens! We'll record the call so you can save the advice you get.
What is a Virtual Building Doctor?
$397
Office Hours with the Virtual Building Doctor: Up to 90 minutes with a Building Doctor on a video conference call. This is very popular for reviewing documents, virtually attending board meetings, or virtually walking the property to review building envelope conditions without paying for travel time and mileage!
Condo board members are volunteers with a life full of other responsibilities. Don't waste your time and resources when virtual services are an option! We want to answer your building questions without the hassle.
We're here to help Condo HOA Boards, Community Managers, and contractors who need an expert's opinion on a project, and anyone else who needs advice about their building envelope to get their plans back on track.
Ask all your questions over a video call to gain expert advice and shed some light on your building issues.
Just as your doctor provides telehealth with a video chat, J2 provides virtual building advice, board coaching, and inspection services to provide you with quick answers, evaluate your ideas, or visually review conditions of your building.
No copay, no additional billable hours, and no waiting room!
We'll record the meeting so you can reference it again later. Attend the call 1-on-1 or invite your entire Board. This time is yours!
