FranklyConstruction Project Consulting
Stay in control of your construction project from scope to signoff.
Residential construction projects rarely stay simple. Frankly works alongside homeowners — not contractors — to keep scope, estimates, and change orders aligned with what you actually agreed to.
Who this is for
- Homeowners planning a re-roof tied to solar, structural, or remodel work
- Owners managing a project larger than a single trade
- Anyone who doesn't want to become a full-time project manager
- Owners who've been burned by surprise change orders before
Problems it solves
- Scope creep that quietly turns into thousands in change orders
- Multiple trades blaming each other when something goes wrong
- Estimate language that's hard to enforce without a fight
- No clear paper trail when timelines or costs slip
What you get
- Independent review of the project scope before bidding
- Help comparing general contractor and trade bids on equal terms
- Estimate review focused on change orders, schedule, and payments
- Periodic check-ins as work progresses to flag issues early
- A neutral voice in conversations with your contractor
- A written record of what was agreed at every key step
How it works
A clear, written process.
- 01
Walk us through the project
Share scope, drawings, bids, or estimates you already have. A short call helps us understand the goals and constraints.
- 02
We engage at the right depth
From a one-time scope review to milestone-based check-ins, we scale the engagement to fit your project.
- 03
You stay informed and in control
You get written summaries after each touchpoint so decisions are documented and easy to reference later.
Frequently asked
- Are you a licensed general contractor?
- No. Frankly is an independent consulting practice. We do not bid, manage, or perform construction work — we advise homeowners on the work others propose.
- Is this different from hiring an owner's rep?
- There is overlap. Most engagements are lighter than a full owner's representative role, focused on scope, bids, estimates, and change orders rather than day-to-day site management.
- How are fees structured?
- Most project engagements are scoped on a fixed-fee or milestone basis so you know what each step costs in advance.
- Can you join contractor meetings?
- For some engagements, yes — either to listen and recap or to ask questions on your behalf.
