It’s not everyday that you under take a major renovation or build a new home.  Many people hire designers, to protect them from making expensive mistakes with fabrics and colors.  So it makes even more sense to hire an educated and experienced advisor to assist you in making the more expensive permanent decisions in areas such as wall placements, window selection, heating systems and proper site drainage.  Architects are knowledgeable about design but many are not as well versed about costs or practical construction techniques.  While contractors know how to build, it’s difficult to discover the real versus hidden costs.  

Wouldn’t it be great to have a true advocate on your side?  A trusted, objective advisor who could keep the architect within reality and the contractor in check.   

Steve Gagosian posses the unique perspective of having both an architectural license and a contractor’s license.  This allows him to understand an architect’s vision yet apply practical real world construction techniques.

We hired Steve to assist us in our significant renovation process which included an addition that added three floors of living space.  Steve’s thorough review of the plans uncovered code and structural issues that our reputable architect and seasoned engineer missed.  His knowledge of actual costs and timing provided me  the confidence to interact with the contractor and question costs that were too high and accept the ones that were reasonable.  This confidence allowed the job to proceed on a faster pace along with allowing me to sleep at night knowing that decisions were triple checked so expensive mistakes were avoided.

I highly recommend hiring Steve Gagosian as your project advocate.  His honesty, significant experience, dedication and quick delivery uncovered issues that allowed us to proceed with peace of mind.  Steve is worth every penny!
