Beyond the core process — training and hands-on support for specific needs.
Some projects call for more than the standard four phases. These are the specialty classes and on-site services I offer when a project needs deeper, more focused support.
Specialty classes
Formal training on specific compliance topics
BMP & Site Preparation
Best Management Practices for preparing a site before construction begins — erosion control, staging, and setup that keeps your project compliant and organized from day one.
Stormwater Management
Understanding and managing stormwater requirements during construction — a compliance area that catches owner-builders off guard when an inspector flags it mid-project.
On-site support
Hands-on help, at your project
01 · Trade Walks
A walkthrough with a specific trade before or during their work, so you understand what’s being built, why, and what to watch for.
02 · Site Visits
Doug visits your active project for real-time guidance on a specific issue or phase, rather than a phone-only conversation.
03 · Quality Control
An inspection-style walkthrough that checks completed work against code and craftsmanship standards before it is covered up or signed off.
04 · Custom Requests
Every project surfaces its own questions. If it’s not listed here, ask — most owner-builder needs can be addressed with a focused session built around what you actually need.
