Our Consulting Services
Feasibility & Pre-Construction Review
Partnering with a builder for your custom home project offers numerous benefits and is the most effective way to streamline the construction process, though it may not suit everyone. Some individuals choose to take on the role of General Contractor for their own home builds, but Brow Tine Builders is here to assist you every step of the way.
Building your own home is a significant commitment that encompasses many factors. Navigating the stages of design, constructability, materials, budget, land surveying and entitlements, as well as banking, can feel overwhelming even before the first shovel hits the ground. Early mistakes and poor decisions can lead to costly repercussions, sometimes amounting to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. During construction, various tasks demand your attention, including cost management, contractor selection, and scheduling—this is often uncharted territory with substantial financial stakes.
That’s where our construction consulting services come into play. We provide you with a builder's perspective during critical stages—particularly when conducting a feasibility review—to help you determine if a project is feasible, whether the budget is achievable, if the plans are truly buildable within your constraints, and whether the contractors you're considering are appropriate for your needs.
Additionally, we offer owner's representative services throughout the construction phase, delivering independent oversight to ensure that the work aligns with your contract and meets your quality expectations. Unlike consulting firms that lack practical experience, we are active builders with years of hands-on construction expertise in Wyoming and Colorado. Our advice is not just theoretical; it’s rooted in real costs, actual timelines, and firsthand knowledge of what can go wrong when projects aren’t managed effectively.

Owner's Representative Services
Once construction is underway, we can offer our construction consulting expertise as your independent eyes and ears on the project. As your owner's representative services, we attend key site meetings, review progress against the contract and schedule, highlight quality concerns, and provide regular reports to ensure you are always informed about the true status of your build. We work for you — not the contractor — which means our only incentive is to ensure you receive what you're paying for.
How Our Consulting Works
Step 1: Initial Conversation
We begin with a detailed discussion about your project, exploring what you aim to build, where, for what purpose, and within what budget. As part of our construction consulting, we will ask direct questions regarding your goals, timeline, and your current stage in the process. This initial conversation is free and typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, designed to facilitate a comprehensive feasibility review and outline the potential for our owner's representative services.
Step 2: Scope & Engagement
Based on our initial conversation, we will define a clear scope of consulting work in construction consulting—whether that's a one-time feasibility review, a plan and budget audit, or ongoing owner's representative services during construction. We provide a flat fee or hourly rate proposal depending on the scope, so you know exactly what the engagement costs before it starts.
Step 3: Analysis & Deliverables
We do the work — reviewing plans, conducting feasibility reviews, analyzing budgets, visiting the site, and evaluating contractor proposals, or whatever the engagement requires. As your construction consulting partner, you receive a clear, written report with our findings, recommendations, and any red flags we've identified. No jargon, no padding — just direct, actionable guidance from a builder's perspective, ensuring you have reliable owner's representative services throughout the process.
Step 4: Ongoing Support (If Needed)
For owner's representative services in engagements or more complex projects, we provide ongoing support throughout the construction phase. This includes attending inspections, conducting feasibility reviews, monitoring quality, and keeping you informed with regular updates. We remain involved as long as you need us to ensure successful construction consulting and step back when you don’t.
