Construction Consulting
Thirty years of experience,
applied to your hardest problems.
For homeowners, carpenters, builders, and architects who need an experienced eye — not just another crew.
Construction Consulting
Sometimes the most valuable thing isn't a crew. It's knowing how to approach the problem.
There's a certain kind of construction challenge that doesn't need more workers — it needs more thinking. A complicated framing condition. A structural detail that looks clean on paper but needs field experience to actually build. A project that's stalled because nobody's been willing to slow down and figure out the right approach.
That's where consulting comes in.
Mike Marti has spent 30 years building and solving problems on residential job sites — framing houses, designing custom roof systems, working through structural details, and doing the kind of finish work where precision really matters. That experience doesn't just help on projects he manages. It can help on yours too.
Who We Work With
Consulting isn't just for homeowners.
Homeowners
You have a complex project and you want to understand your options before committing to a contractor or a plan. Or you've been given conflicting advice and you need someone with real experience to help you sort it out.
Carpenters & Tradespeople
You're taking on more complex work — custom stairs, complicated roof framing, structural details, timber joinery — and you want guidance on layout, math, sequencing, or execution from someone who's done it before.
Builders & Project Managers
You have a crew you trust, but there's a technical aspect of the project that needs more thought on the front end. You want an experienced set of eyes on the details before the work begins.
Architects & Designers
You've designed something that's going to be challenging to build. You want confidence that a complicated detail can actually be executed cleanly and efficiently in the field — before it shows up on a job site.
How It Works
We figure out what kind of help actually makes sense.
Consulting doesn't look the same for every situation. It starts with a conversation — understanding what you're working on, what's complicated about it, and where you're stuck.
From there, we figure out the right structure. That might be:
We'll propose what makes sense for your situation and price it accordingly. The goal is to give you exactly what you need — not more, not less.
The Experience Behind the Consulting
This isn't advice from a textbook.
Mike started framing houses at 20 years old and has spent three decades working through the kinds of problems most contractors hand off or avoid. His specialty has always been the technically demanding work — complex roof systems, custom stair layouts, structural details, timber frame joinery, and the finish carpentry where precision is non-negotiable.
He thinks in geometry and field math. He's the kind of person who won't call something done until the tools and the numbers agree. And he genuinely enjoys the problems that don't have obvious answers.
If you've got one of those — he's a good person to call.
"He loves geometry and math so framing, decks, etc. get him the most excited. He doesn't rely on just his string, square, level, laser — the tools and the math have to check each other. Until they agree, his work is not acceptable. He's detail oriented to the smallest detail and he loves a challenge."
