This would have been simply impossible without their insight, knowledge, industry connections, and previous experience. For first-time builders like us, going it alone would have been like climbing Everest without a guide…or a rope, or so much as a sweater for that matter. - Dr. & Mrs. Castro-Marin, Homeowners Dr. & Mrs. Castro Marin, Homeowners As a client building a residential home, we were never aware we had the freedom to utilize a competitive bid process to maximize value. Certainly, no one within the industry was going to encourage us to do something like that. Even if we did, who beyond an experienced insider would have the skill set or time to put something together that was truly robust and effective? It is this element that is at the core of the ADVOCATE process, but their contributions go way beyond just creating a spreadsheet. Their comprehensive knowledge of home construction and negotiation has helped enhance and simplify every aspect of our project and circumvent all the typical pitfalls. They assisted us with finding and selecting a builder that’s right for us andright for the project. ADVOCATE advised us on securing the best financing and final design decisions, and has helped value engineer our entire project. They have been the watchful advocate, helping to hold our contractors accountable along the way. ADVOCATE has helped us realize truly incredible savings throughout this process. This would have been simply impossible without their insight, knowledge, industry connections, and previous experience. For first-time builders like us, going it alone would have been like climbing Everest without a guide…or a rope, or so much as a sweater for that matter. Mark Candelaria, Candelaria Design We have had the recent pleasure of collaborating with ADVOCATE on a project in Paradise Valley. The services ADVOCATE provides to our joint clients have been extremely helpful in facilitating an organized and systematic approach to assist our client through the design and prebid process. ADVOCATE’s involvement in all the details, not only relating to the actual design of the home but in working with the team in procuring subconsultants and potential builders, and in assessing and monitoring the construction budget, has been invaluable. ADVOCATE’s role generally supports our advice and when it does not, they have offered suggestions or different approaches that have been helpful in moving the project forward. This is the epitome of teamwork and ADVOCATE embraces that notion with no ego and always with a focus on what is best for the client. The Morris Family, Homeowners We have been through remodel challenges before and did not want to experience it again with our next remodel! The missing link in our previous home remodel is that we didn’t have an advocate to make sure that the process went smoothly, on time, on budget, and without great stress. Even though a remodel may seem less complex than a new home build, this isn’t necessarily the case. Guessing what is behind a wall or roof when you open it up, trying to match existing finishes, windows, doors (that are 20 years old), and updating electric and AV in an older home is complicated. We have been very impressed with our experience working with ADVOCATE. With deep knowledge and experience, relationships, and resources, coupled with creative thinking—ADVOCATE leads the assembly of a team that is unique to a homeowner’s needs and then provides the glue that keeps the project together and moving forward. ADVOCATE educates homeowners at whatever level they are at (whether that be someone who refers to insulation as cotton candy and has no idea what the word “rough” means as it pertains to building a house, or an owner who is very familiar with the building and construction process). The ADVOCATE team explains things in terms everyone can understand, keeps all parties in the loop, makes everyone feel valued and appreciated, gives a nudge when needed, handles surprise curve balls with thoughtfulness, strategic thinking, and grace, and has enthusiasm for every project like it is their own. The ADVOCATE team is able to lay a quick set of eyes on a challenge and promptly troubleshoot and provide invaluable feedback and solutions. With a sense of humor, wit, and always leading with transparency and integrity, our family will always have the ADVOCATE team on their side. Roadrunner Residence Owners Building a custom dream home can be a daunting task for any family. There are so many elements that create complexity, and for first-timers like us, there are so many unknowns that you aren’t aware of. Luckily, we had ADVOCATE on our side. Honestly, I can’t say enough amazing things about the ADVOCATE team. They have been with us EVERY step of the way, including the purchase of the land to build our home. They’ve helped us through each phase of selecting our professional team and vendors, budgeting, design schematic, legal contracts, financing, and negotiations. ADVOCATE has saved us well over $600,000 throughout our project and we haven’t even started construction yet. If you are considering building a custom dream home or undergoing a large-scale remodel, your next move should be to contact ADVOCATE to help guide you through the process. It’s literally a no-brainer! Brent Kendle, Kendle Design Collaborative I first met (ADVOCATE founder and president) Keith when I was the architect for his new home. Seldom, if ever, have I met someone more interested and inquisitive about the details and processes of designing and building a custom home. He graciously challenged design ideas, material considerations, and system considerations, inevitably helping the team arrive at the best solutions for the unique needs of his family. One thing that impressed me was that Keith always focused on highest value rather than lowest cost. In the end, I believe he helped us create a remarkable home for his family, one with far greater value for the dollars spent than I originally thought possible. Throughout the process, I found Keith to always be a consummate gentleman, treating everyone on the team with fairness and respect. With so many decisions required, plus the pressure of time and money, designing and building a complicated, one-of-a-kind custom home like Keith’s can often have stressful moments for both client and team. However, I feel Keith’s understanding of all the various stakeholders, and his calm demeanor helps smooth out the process and keep everyone focused on the go. Brett Brimley, Brimley Development It is hard to describe how helpful it has been to work through a design-build process with a team as knowledgeable as ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors. We have never seen such fair and comprehensive vetting done with the design-build process in our over 20 years in business.

Site conditions, zoning restrictions, utility access, drainage concerns, construction feasibility, budgeting realities, and builder alignment can all significantly impact the outcome of a project. ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors provides independent pre purchase advisory services designed to help homeowners, investors, and luxury residential clients evaluate opportunities and challenges before major financial commitments are made. Our role is to help clients navigate the complexity of residential construction planning with greater clarity, strategy, and confidence. Whether you are purchasing raw land, evaluating an existing property, or preparing for a luxury custom home project, we help uncover the details that matter most before moving forward. As experienced residential construction advisors and owner’s representatives, we focus on protecting the homeowner’s interests from the very beginning of the process. Why Pre Purchase Advisory Services Matter Many residential construction problems begin before a project ever breaks ground. Hidden development costs, unrealistic construction budgets, municipal restrictions, permitting complications, and site limitations can create expensive setbacks that impact both timeline and investment expectations. Without experienced guidance, homeowners are often forced to make critical decisions with incomplete information. ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors helps clients identify potential project risks early while evaluating the overall feasibility of their vision. Our advisory process is designed to provide a clearer understanding of what a project may realistically require before land is purchased or construction planning begins. Common Areas We Help Clients Evaluate Site selection and building positioning Property feasibility and development limitations Preliminary construction budget expectations Infrastructure and utility considerations Timeline and scheduling realities Builder and consultant alignment Potential zoning or permitting concerns Long term project risks and investment implications Our goal is to help clients move forward with informed expectations, objective insight, and greater confidence throughout the residential construction planning process. What Our Pre Purchase Advisory Services Include As independent owner’s representatives, our guidance is focused entirely on protecting the client’s interests. Site Selection and Property Evaluation Not every property is suitable for every vision. We help clients evaluate topography, accessibility, drainage conditions, utility access, zoning limitations, and overall build feasibility before a purchase is made. Understanding these factors early can help prevent costly surprises later in the project. Project Scope and Feasibility Analysis We work with clients to evaluate whether project goals, design expectations, and desired outcomes align with realistic construction conditions, timelines, and budget expectations. This early stage guidance helps establish a more informed direction for the project before significant investments are made. Preliminary Budget Guidance Construction costs can vary significantly depending on location, site conditions, material selections, design complexity, and market conditions. We help clients develop a more realistic understanding of potential construction investment ranges before committing to a property or project. Builder and Team Considerations Selecting the right builder and project team is one of the most important decisions in residential construction. We help clients evaluate builder alignment, communication expectations, project delivery considerations, and overall team structure before moving forward. What Is an Owner’s Representative in Residential Construction? An owner’s representative serves as an independent advocate for the homeowner throughout the construction process. Unlike contractors or builders who are responsible for construction execution, an owner’s representative focuses on protecting the client’s goals, investment, timeline, and overall project interests. ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors provides residential construction owner’s representative services designed to help homeowners navigate complex projects with experienced guidance and objective oversight. For custom homes, luxury residences, and architecturally complex projects, involving an owner’s representative early in the planning process can provide significant clarity and risk reduction. Who Benefits from Pre Purchase Advisory Services? Pre purchase advisory services are especially valuable for clients who are: Purchasing land for a custom home project Planning a luxury residential construction project Considering a major remodel or home expansion Comparing multiple properties or development opportunities Building in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, or surrounding Arizona communities Seeking guidance before selecting a builder Looking for realistic construction budgeting insight Managing a high value or architecturally complex residential project Navigating the custom home process for the first time Start Your Residential Construction Project with Greater Confidence Before purchasing a property or moving forward with construction planning, bring in experienced advisors who represent your interests from the very beginning. ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors helps homeowners make informed residential construction decisions with greater clarity, strategic guidance, and objective project oversight. >>> Discuss Your Project Project Gallery This would have been simply impossible without their insight, knowledge, industry connections, and previous experience.

ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors helps homeowners assemble experienced architects, builders, consultants, and project professionals aligned with the goals, expectations, and complexity of the project. The team selected for a residential construction project can directly impact communication, budgeting, timelines, execution quality, and the overall experience throughout the building process. Many homeowners enter construction projects without a clear understanding of how architects, builders, engineers, consultants, interior designers, and specialty professionals should work together. Misalignment between project partners can create unnecessary delays, budget strain, communication breakdowns, and long term project frustration. ADVOCATE – Residential Construction Advisors provides residential construction team assembly services designed to help homeowners build the right project team from the very beginning. As experienced owner’s representatives and residential construction advisors, we help clients evaluate qualifications, align expectations, clarify project responsibilities, and assemble teams capable of supporting successful luxury residential construction projects. Why Team Assembly Matters in Residential Construction A luxury residential project is rarely successful because of one individual. Successful projects are built through strong collaboration between experienced professionals who understand the project vision, communicate effectively, and work toward shared goals.
