Daniel Burgess Consulting
& Construction Management:

Building Better Communication

By Lori Berezin

For more than a quarter of a century, home and business owners throughout Southern California have called upon construction guru and consultant Daniel Burgess to get their jobs done right. Known throughout the area as “The Fixer,” Daniel is contacted by owners to oversee their remodels or new construction, ensuring they are completed within budget and on time. He personally manages a myriad of de- tails for the owner, communicating with contractors and architects to handle issues before they become problems. No job is too big or too small for Daniel as he builds better lines of communication between owners and their contractors and architects to bring plans seamlessly into fruition.

Many are unaware of the importance of having an advocate like Daniel Burgess in their corner during every phase of construction. He fights the good fight, making sure each client’s vision is fully realized. Whether you’re beginning a

project or muddling through the middle, you can always count on The Fixer to keep contractors and subcontractors accountable.

In a situation where time truly is money, it pays to have a knowledgeable set of eyes overseeing a client’s best interests during each phase of a project. Holistic in approach, Daniel provides free consultations, plan reviews, and evaluations. He begins with a pre-construction re- view of estimates and schedules and follows up to keep the job on track and on time. Offering a variety of services, from project evaluation and contract and subcontract review to onsite inspections and cost analysis, Daniel handles disputes before they become costly mistakes, saving clients months of hassles and millions of dollars.

After spending decades as a craftsman, construction ex- pert, and consultant, Daniel combines his skills and experience to help clients from every walk of life achieve their dreams. With this trustworthy professional at the helm, they remain in control every step of the way. Clearly, the most optimal time to work with him is at the start of a new job, before signing agreements with architects, contractors, and interior designers. Those who arrive a little late to the party can also benefit from his expert project management skills and lengthy background as a construction manager for celebrities and home and business owners.

Daniel stands by his philosophy to provide complete transparency, harmoniously merging architecture, commerce, and art. Anyone who has ever walked onto a construction site or negotiated with an architect or con- tractor would be hard-pressed to feel a sense of ease. That’s where Daniel comes in, cementing relationships between home/building owners and their contractors/ architects to build a sturdy foundation of trust.

Utilizing his expert negotiation skills and extensive knowledge of the construction business, Daniel helps resolve conflicts, lower construction costs, and keep projects moving. The time and money saved due to his expert assistance far exceeds the cost of his services. The Fixer helps break down walls between clients and their industry partners. Clearly, Daniel Burgess, the man in the middle, provides an invaluable service to owners as he helps bring their dream homes and businesses to life

In the construction field, Daniel Burgess is that guy called upon to rescue construction projects that have gone sour. In fact, from the crested gates of Beverly Hills to the sprawling ranch estates of Hidden Hills to the grand vistas of Malibu, when the topic of conversation turns to construction woes, there is a bit of sage advice offered by those who have experienced that pain: “You need The Fixer.” The term of endearment given to Daniel by his loyal clients.

Daniel Burgess has been assisting home owners, building owners, contractors, and architects throughout Southern California for the past 25 years. His fundamental responsibility is to oversee every aspect of a construction job, ensuring that the project gets done correctly, on time, and on bud- get. Proficient in all aspects of new construction, remodel- ing, and additions, he has saved his clients millions of dollars, years of time, and even a few marriages.

Whether your project is your dream home or more modest remodel, one guarantee is that there will be bumps in the road. Disputes between and among the clients, general/ prime contractor, subcontractors, and suppliers are bound to happen. The best way to avoid these costly mistakes, de- lays, and potential lawsuits is to hire “The Fixer.”

Daniel takes on a holistic management role for each project. This includes reviewing the details of each contract and subcontract, thorough onsite inspections, plan and design reviews, and providing cost analysis reports. He also does a rigorous pre-construction review to put together solid estimates and schedules and takes other key steps to avoid snags during each phase of the project.

The bottom line is that his approach actually protects your bottom line. The money you save is considerably less than

the cost of his fees, to say nothing of the deadlines that are met and your peace of mind.

Unfortunately, many home/business owners who become involved in construction and remodeling projects have no idea that people like Daniel exist. They enter into agreements with their contractors, architects or interior designers assuming they are in control – until they realize that they are not! We’ve all heard the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Nowhere is this wisdom more borne out than amongst Daniel’s clients who regularly share with regret: “If we’d only known about you sooner...”

Don’t let your dreams turn into regrets; call The Fixer
