Why You Need a Consultant, Not Just a Contractor
You didn't sign up to run a construction project...
But the moment your HOA board decides to hire a contractor without a building consultant, that’s exactly what you’ve done. You’ve inherited the responsibility for every technical decision, quality check, cost negotiation, and legal obligation with no training, backup, or help.
This guide exists so you don't have to learn that the hard way. It breaks down what you save, what you risk, and what it truly costs in time, effort, and peace of mind when you go it alone with a contractor versus bringing in a building consultant. By the end, you'll be able to make that call with your eyes open, not after the project's already underway.
