“My Dad was a builder and he taught me the business from the ground-up.

He had many memorable quotes”, said Patrick.

“My favorite is a line from Shakespeare ‘Don’t hoist yourself on your own petard’, which might be translated to ‘don’t shoot yourself in the foot’”.

Patrick has helped hundreds of owner-builders successfully build their own homes since he began consulting in 2004.

“It’s not rocket science” says Patrick, “but there is a process to follow and pitfalls to avoid.

Owner-Builders CAN save themselves a lot of money by managing their project themselves.

But without experienced guidance, they sometimes shoot themselves in the foot, making costly mistakes and blowing their budget.”

Patrick enjoys consulting owner-builders through the homebuilding process and witnessing the satisfaction that comes from a successful project.
