What is a Building Consultant (and Do You Need One)?
A building consultant serves as your advocate throughout your home renovation or new construction project, helping you hire and manage the right professionals. While not a contractor or architect, a building consultant offers support with budgeting, design, vendor coordination, and material selection. They can guide you through the entire process or simply offer advice and direction where needed.
Instead of managing multiple vendors on your own, a building consultant provides unbiased guidance and connects you with the right professionals for your project. By offering a clear picture of the work ahead and linking you with the right experts from the start, they can help you avoid costly mistakes and unnecessary redo's.
One of the key benefits of a building consultant is their extensive network of trusted professionals—ranging from architects and general contractors to designers and material suppliers. If you're unsure who to hire for different parts of your project, a consultant can help you find the right people for the job.
