Daniel Burgess Consulting
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
