Consulting
A construction person at the board's table, by the hour.
A contract the board is about to sign, a bid that does not add up, a budget line the treasurer wants a second opinion on, or a project the reserves will not cover: city programs such as a Housing Improvement Area, association loans, and the other paths a board can use. Consulting is TruPoint by the hour, with a cap the board approves first.
Problem areas
- The one or two items the board cannot get past: the project that keeps getting pushed because it is too big to start, or two vendors telling the board different things about the same wall.
- A site visit on the items in question, with options and cost ranges at current Twin Cities prices.
- A one page memo the board can vote on.
- Shaped to what the property and the board need, from one question to a full review of the problem area.
What boards use it for
- A contract or a proposal read before the board signs it.
- A vendor's answer checked against the building.
- A budget line the treasurer wants a second opinion on.
- A board meeting with a construction person at the table.
- Finding the money: city programs such as a Housing Improvement Area, association loans, and what each one asks of the board.
How it works

One email or one call with what the board needs.
The cap
An estimate of the hours, which the board approves first.
The answer
In writing, with what the board can act on.
$195 an hour, with a cap the board approves first. What it costs.
Put us on your next agenda for fifteen minutes.
Send us the two or three things keeping the board up at night. We read them before the meeting and present what fits. The review is free.
