    About this ebook

    “The idea behind the book came as a result of a conversation I was having with a friend of mine. She had been through a really frustrating two year renovation project and she simply said Troy, you need to do this. Trust me, people will welcome the opportunity to have less stress and save time and money while actually enjoy the process of building or renovating.” Turns out she was right. “People can’t be expected to understand all aspects of construction, yet when they build or renovate without an advocate they are put in a difficult position to do just that”. Troy believes his book and new service offering will be a welcomed approach not only for clients but builders as well “ I actually think builders will appreciate the book as a tool and my role as an advocate because it will help eliminate confusion, set realistic expectations and keep projects running on time and on budget, which ultimately leads to the best possible outcome for everyone”. Stallings also says his book can help ease stress and bring some fun back into the process. He acknowledges that most people are just too busy to really enjoy the journey. “It can get really stressful and things can fall apart fast” . He says having an advocate, someone who’s only job is to look out for you, changes the game. “Even if you have hired a reputable builder and designer, it never hurts to have an added layer of protection to make sure your best interests are being served”. According to Stallings “this book takes you on the journey of the build. It will help guide you in basic terms - its building and renovating made easier, who doesn’t want that”.

      Coach In A Nutshell

      I use the term coach throughout this book. But really, here is your coach in a nutshell. Your coach is your experienced trusted partner. He or she will have your best interest in mind at all times.

      They will give you the highest level of service that you expect. Your coach has years of experience in the construction industry. Your coach will go the extra mile for you to make sure you're getting the quality and the level of service that you expect.

      Your coach will help you every step of the way. Help you make the tough decisions. Help you source out product and make selections, even though you might have a designer on staff that would help as well, this is your final buffering between you, your designer, contractor, and your architect. This person's looking out for you and for you only.

      Your coach is going to meet you on your schedule, help you keep your decisions on track and keep your home moving forward. You need to have a coach between you and your contractor. You might ask why? It’s simple, the contractor and your designer are in the business to make a profit.This will give you peace of mind knowing that with your busy lifestyle with work, home, and family, someone is watching your back to make sure you are getting the quality along with a fair price.

      This should give you a stress-free build process, done in a timely fashion. You don't deserve anything less.

      Bid Sections

      I am going to go over each bid sections for a typical build briefly.This will vary depending on if you have a remodel with an addition or if you are building a new home.

      Section 1:

      Plan specifications. Includes plan review and your permits which could include zoning, building, and environmental. It also includes your survey and any impact fees, administrative costs, legal fees, and engineering fees.

      Section 2:

      Demolition. If you are remodeling an existing structure, and if it is an old structure, you may have jacking and shoring costs. Most areas around the country now require some type of dust control and surface protection. This is for the possibility of any run-off during a rainstorm. Lot clearing, on-site storage possibly, and portable toilet. Even if your area doesn’t  require a portable toilet, it's still a good idea to have one on the site. It keeps your subcontractors on the site instead of having to leave to find a restroom. This saves time and keeps the work moving forward. This section also has temporary power and temporary heat. Both of these line items should be included in the subcontractor's bid. This section also has scaffolding and equipment rentals which should be included in your subcontractor's bid.

      Section 3:

      On-site water and sewer and soils testing . A septic system if you aren’t on city sewer, and permits for all tie-ins to the house. Also includes any dewatering if you are in a high water table area. Also could include a well, pump, and before any trenching to your house, even though trenching should be in the excavator or plumbing bids.

      Section 4:

      Dirt
