Thank you very much Steph! It's been great working with you and all the unique ideas you bring to a project.

This project involved a particularly challenging cliffside lot with a steep topography and an unusually small buildable area. The type of challenge we actually love! Previous owners attempted to build, but ultimately walked away due to the complexity. We were brought on to evaluate whether construction was even feasible, which required coordination with engineers, land surveys, conceptual design work, and detailed preliminary cost estimates —all of which were were made transparent ahead of time and delivered as agreed. Ultimately, the project was canceled by the client due to budget constraints and complexity of building on the site—not because of anything that was left undone on our end and not because we didn't find a viable path forward and very close to budget expectations. The total cost billed reflected discovery work completed up to that point. We maintained full transparency of costs throughout our engagement, providing detailed explanation and clarity at each step in the process, and even a lot of unbilled sweat equity. I'm the end, the client got refunded a significant portion of the retainer. I take pride in operating with integrity, transparency, and professionalism in every project I take on. I understand it's frustrating to invest time and resources into a project that ultimately doesn’t come to fruition. I stand by the work we delivered and the good faith approach brought to a very challenging situation.
