For general contractors

Six ways I check on your EC, so you don't have to take their word for it.

This isn't a bigger scope for your electrical sub — it's independent oversight for you. Fixed fee wherever the scope allows, and every visit ends in something written.

01

Constructability & Coordination Review

Before mobilization, or whenever drawings update

A GC-led second set of eyes on the electrical drawings — checked against mechanical and structural — before a conflict in the field costs you a milestone.

What you get

  • Coordination review across electrical, mechanical, and structural sets, referenced by sheet and detail
  • Constructability check: can this actually be built the way it's drawn, on the schedule you've committed to
  • Conflict and missing-scope log, ranked by what will actually cost time in the field
  • Findings delivered to you directly, not routed through the EC's own QA/QC
02

Milestone Risk Audits

Every 2–4 weeks through construction

An independent read on whether your EC is actually going to hit power-on, air-on, and temp removal — not their read on it.

What you get

  • Site walk and progress verification against the EC's own percent-complete
  • Manpower checked against what's left on the calendar, not what's left on paper
  • Roadblocks the EC hasn't flagged yet — design/RFI, predecessor, sequencing, trade stacking
  • Written status after every visit: on track, at risk, or behind, with the specific reason
03

Manpower Verification

Before a milestone push, or on request

A crew count is a promise. This is the math that checks whether the EC can actually keep it.

What you get

  • Independent man-hour and crew-size calculation against remaining scope
  • Checked directly against the EC's committed finish date
  • Flagged the moment crew count falls under what the date requires — before it's a missed milestone
  • Recovery options costed out: added crew, overtime, or resequencing
04

RFI & Change Order Review

As RFIs and change orders come in

An independent technical read on whether an EC's cost or time claim actually holds up — before you approve it.

What you get

  • RFI response reviewed for scope creep dressed up as clarification
  • Change order pricing checked against actual labor and material, not accepted at face value
  • Time extension requests verified against the schedule, not taken on faith
  • Recommendation delivered in time to negotiate — not after you've already signed it
05

Power-On, Air-On & Temp Removal Readiness

2–3 weeks before each milestone

The electrical-specific punch list that has to close before the milestone actually happens — not after it's missed.

What you get

  • Milestone-specific punch walk and closeout list
  • Inspection and AHJ sign-off tracked against the date, not assumed
  • Temp power and lighting removal sequenced so it doesn't strand other trades
  • Go / no-go report delivered while there's still time to react
06

Closeout Verification

At project closeout

An independent walk confirming the EC's punch list and closeout package are actually done before you tell the owner they are.

What you get

  • Final punch walk against the EC's own closeout list, not just their word for it
  • O&M manuals, warranties, and as-builts checked for complete and accurate, not just present
  • Outstanding items logged and assigned before the EC demobilizes, not discovered after
  • Sign-off you can hand the owner, with your name on it instead of just the EC's

How it works

No proposal theatre. Four steps, and you know the cost before anything starts.

I work for you, not your EC — every deliverable comes back to you in writing, not as a verbal update filtered through the sub.

  1. 01

    Intro call

    Thirty minutes, no charge. You describe the job, the EC, and what's making you nervous; I tell you plainly whether I can help and roughly what it costs.

  2. 02

    Baseline read

    Depending on the service, I pull the drawings, the schedule, the EC's manpower plan, or the milestone dates, and give you a first honest read on where the risk actually is.

  3. 03

    Ongoing checks

    Site walks and manpower checks on the cadence we agree to — each one ends in a written report you can act on, not a verbal summary.

  4. 04

    Milestone coverage

    In the weeks before power-on, air-on, or temp removal, I'm watching that specific milestone — not just the job in general.

Where I work

Based in Austin, Texas. On-site milestone walks and manpower checks across Central Texas, with remote manpower verification and reporting available nationwide.

Manpower checks and reporting happen remotely and work anywhere. Site walks and milestone readiness visits are limited to the area above — ask, and if your job is outside it I will tell you rather than stretch to cover it.

Not sure if you need an audit or just a straight answer?

Tell me the milestone date and what's making you nervous. I'll tell you plainly whether it's worth a formal audit — that answer is free either way.
