draft consult is a pre‑construction advisory service run by a small team with hands‑on real‑world building experience. We get involved before you lock in your final project decision.
A lawyer will tell you if your contract is legal. draft consult will tell you if it will cost what you think it will and where it won't.
draft consult sits at the intersection of what a lawyer sees, what a builder knows, and what a financial analyst would ask.

Three things you should have before you build.
Every review we do is built around three outcomes. Not a stack of paperwork, but what you actually need before you commit.
-
01
Clarity
An honest, unclouded picture of your project's scope, risk and feasibility before you sign anything.
In practiceWe translate drawings, quotes and contract clauses into plain language, so you know what's included, what's missing and what it's likely to cost.
-
02
Confidence
Well-reasoned assessments you can act on and negotiate with, replacing guesswork with facts.
In practiceYou get specific findings with the reasoning behind them, so you go back to your builder or designer with clear questions, not vague concerns.
-
03
Control
You make informed decisions on your own terms, without pressure from builders, designers or the other side of a dispute.
In practiceWe lay out your options and their trade-offs. The decisions stay with you, made with the full picture in front of you.
