Independent Guidance to Protect Your Investment

Ben Smith Construction offers project management and consulting services for homeowners who want confidence that work is being done correctly, fairly priced, and to industry standards. Whether you’re planning repairs, upgrades, or preparing a home for sale, we act as an experienced, independent set of eyes on your behalf.

Our role is not to sell you work you don’t need—but to help you make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure quality workmanship.

What We Do as Your Project Consultant

Independent Project Oversight

We help manage residential projects by reviewing plans, scopes of work, and timelines to ensure everything makes sense before work begins and while it’s underway.

This includes:

• Reviewing proposed work scopes

• Identifying gaps, red flags, or unnecessary upsells

• Ensuring materials and methods match the project’s needs

Quote & Estimate Comparison

Making Sure You’re Paying for the Right Work

We can review and compare quotes from multiple contractors to help you understand:

• Why prices differ

• What’s included vs. excluded

• Whether labor, materials, and timelines are reasonable

This is especially valuable for:

• HVAC replacements or repairs

• Plumbing work

• Electrical upgrades

• Appliance installation or replacement

• Large repair or renovation projects

Our goal is to help you choose the best value, not just the lowest price.

Pre-Sale Home Reviews & Punch Lists

Know What Needs Attention Before You List

If you’re selling a home, we can perform a walkthrough and create a clear punch list of items that should be addressed before listing.

This includes:

• Maintenance and repair items

• Cosmetic improvements with strong ROI

• Safety or functionality concerns

• Items likely to come up during inspections

This helps sellers:

• Avoid last-minute surprises

• Prioritize repairs effectively

• Present the home in its best condition

• You avoid overpaying or under-scoping work

• You gain clarity before committing to contractors

With a background in construction management, maintenance, and systems-based thinking, we approach your home the same way we would our own.

Who This Is For

This service is ideal for:

• Homeowners planning major repairs or upgrades
