We Know How Projects Get Built—Because We’ve Built Them
With over 40 years of combined experience, Joe Paar and Peter Ottele bring unparalleled expertise across all major construction contract types, including: Lump Sum, Guaranteed Maximum Price, GCCM, Design-Build, unit cost, and general public contracting.
With roots working for Commercial General Contractors, we understand the construction process, schedules, estimates, subcontractor operations, and the inner workings of how general contractors operate.
This diverse experience allows us to adapt to any project’s scope, from private developments to public infrastructure, delivering results with expertise and integrity.
Being a small, independent, non-corporate firm, we have the flexibility to react quickly to the market and not get bogged down by corporate oversight.

What We Do
-
We get involved early to help define the project scope, timeline, budget, and overall feasibility. By setting expectations upfront, we lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful build.
-
We look for smart, cost-effective solutions that reduce expenses without sacrificing quality. It’s all about making sure our clients get the most value from their investment.
-
We help select the right contractors by reviewing bids, checking qualifications, and negotiating terms—making sure the team on-site is reliable, experienced, and aligned with the project goals.
-
We create and manage a detailed project schedule, coordinating all moving parts to keep things on track and on time—from preconstruction to final walkthrough.
-
We oversee the design process to ensure it meets the client’s vision, stays within budget, and complies with all codes and regulations. We act as the bridge between owners, architects, and consultants.
-
We provide ongoing budget tracking and forecasting, so clients always have a clear picture of where costs stand and what’s coming next. No surprises.
-
With our construction background, we bring hands-on expertise to every stage of the project. We know how buildings go together and use that insight to solve problems before they become costly delays.
-
We review and approve contractor payment requests to ensure work is completed correctly and in line with the contract. It keeps payments fair and accurate.
-
We regularly walk job sites to observe progress, identify issues early, and ensure quality. These on-the-ground insights help us keep projects moving smoothly.
-
When project changes come up, we manage the process—reviewing scope, pricing, and impact—to make sure every change is necessary, justified, and documented.
