Build & Design · New Construction

The builder has lawyers. Now you do too.

Builder contracts are drafted by the builder's counsel to protect the builder. The sales office is friendly, the model home is beautiful, and the paperwork is one-sided. I level that field.

Where I Earn It

The terms that decide how your build goes

  • Deposit structure. How much goes hard, when, and what it takes to get it back.
  • Completion dates & delays. What the builder actually promises, and what happens when the schedule slips.
  • Change orders & upgrades. Pricing rules set before you're captive, not after.
  • Walkthroughs & punch lists. Documented, deadline-driven, and enforced.
  • Warranties. What's covered, for how long, and what the fine print carves out.

And because builder paperwork is legal paperwork, the drafting and review side can run through Scheer Legal as a separate engagement whenever your deal needs it. More on contracts.

Ready When You Are

Buying new construction?

Call me before you sign at the sales office. The builder's contract is negotiable more often than they let on.
