Senior General Contractor / Consultant

The Blueprint is the map. I am your compass.

The ebook gives you the exact steps to manage your build and save $85,000+. But construction is a live battlefield. Subcontractors will test you. City inspectors will throw curveballs. Foundation quotes will come in $20,000 over budget.

When you are staring down a massive financial decision and you aren't 100% sure what to do, you need an expert in your corner.

I offer strictly limited 1-on-1 consulting to protect your investment, review your bids, and ensure you don't get taken advantage of by the industry.

ED NELLUMS CONSULTING & SPEAKING

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why do I need a 1-on-1 consultation?

The Blueprint gives you the map, but consulting gives you the architect. A 1-on-1 call allows Ed to review your specific subcontractor bids, identify hidden traps in your city permits, and stress-test your exact budget before you spend a dime.

Does Ed review floor plans?

Absolutely. Ed can review your architectural drawings to ensure they are actually buildable and cost-effective before you submit them to the city for permitting.

Is Ed a licensed contractor?

Yes. Ed Nellums has over 9 years of professional, on-the-ground experience managing both residential and commercial projects. He isn't a theorist; he is a practitioner.

Can I hire Ed if I don't live in Texas?

Yes. The Virtual GC Retainer allows Ed to consult remotely on your project anywhere in the US. He can review your local contracts, vet subcontractors via phone, and solve site issues through live video walk-throughs.

I already downloaded the Blueprint. Should I still book a call?

Yes. The Blueprint tells you 'how' to do it. Consulting tells you 'what' to do when things don't go according to plan. If a contractor tries to upcharge you mid-build, you can get Ed on the phone to shut it down.
