Most homeowners hire a contractor the same way.

They search online, look at a few websites, read some reviews, and go with whoever seems the most professional. Sometimes it works out. More often than they expected, it doesn't.

28% of homeowners who hired a contractor ran into serious problems. 78% went over budget. 44% exceeded their budget by $5,000 or more. These aren't unlucky people. They're prepared people who didn't have the right information before they signed.

Matching your project to the right builder is critical to project success, and this course gives you all the tools (and more) to do that.


This course is for you if:

  • You're planning a new home build or major renovation and you're not sure how to find a contractor you can actually trust.

  • You've received quotes that feel high, vague, or impossible to compare fairly.

  • You know you should have a solid contract but you're not sure what that actually means or what to look for.

  • You've heard enough horror stories from friends or in the news that you want a real process before you commit to anyone.

  • You're about to spend $50,000 or more on a project and you want to feel like the most prepared person in the room when the contractor shows up.


This course is not for you if:

  • You're looking for design inspiration or DIY how-to content. This course covers the hiring and management side, not the build itself.

  • You've already hired, the project is going well, and you're happy with how things are running.

  • You need someone to manage your project for you. This course is designed for you to have all the tools to select the right builder.

What Homeowners Say:

“I’m an electrician, so I have a decent understanding of home construction, but Aaron’s experience goes way beyond one trade. He really knows the whole process and has many tips to help clients through the big decisions and the little pain points. His experience helped us develop a detailed budget, which was most important to me when we decided to build a custom home.”
— Brad
“Aaron’s assistance was critical in getting our renovation started with obtaining building permits and later supporting us through the renovation process. He helped make an overwhelming experience much more manageable.”
— Todd
“Starting the build felt daunting. Aaron coached us through each step, explaining our responsibilities and our builder’s role. He is knowledgeable, creative, and very passionate about making sure his clients are equipped with all the information they need to make smart decisions.”
— Patricia

Questions worth answering

Can't I find this on YouTube?

You can find pieces of it. What you won't find is a system that takes you from initial research to signed contract in one place, built specifically for homeowners, not contractors or designers. Free content covers tactics. This course covers the full process.

My project isn't that big. Do I still need this?

Smaller projects actually have fewer built-in safeguards and tend to attract less experienced contractors. 28% of homeowners had problems regardless of project size. The fundamentals of vetting, contracting, and protecting your budget apply whether you're spending $30,000 or $3M.

I'm going to use a referral from a friend. Isn't that enough?

A referral gets you in the door. It doesn't tell you whether this contractor's contract protects you, how they handle change orders, or what their payment structure looks like. This course gives you the process to protect yourself no matter how you find the contractor. I’m shocked at how often I get calls from people who got screwed by a contractor that had been referred to them.

I trust my gut on people.

Contractor fraud is increasingly sophisticated and well-presented online. Good interpersonal skills in a meeting are not a substitute for license verification, reference checks, and a contract that ties payment to completed work. Trusting your contractor is fine. Having a contract that protects you as well is better.

Why is it only $47?

Because the goal is to make this accessible to every homeowner, not just the ones who can afford a private consultant. The course is priced as a tool, not a luxury. If you're spending $50,000 or more on a project, $47 is the most useful money you'll spend before work starts.


Built by someone who's been on both sides of the contract

I've spent over 15 years working inside the construction industry as a carpenter, estimator, project manager, architectural designer, and professor. I've been involved in over $60 million worth of projects across new builds, renovations, and institutional construction.

I've seen what happens when homeowners walk into the process unprepared, and I've seen what happens when they don't. The difference is almost always information. This course is that information, organized into a process you can actually follow.


30-day money-back guarantee

If you go through the course and don't feel it was worth your time, email me within 30 days for a full refund. No forms, no hoops, no questions.

You're spending $47 to protect a project that likely costs 1,000 times that. The risk here is as low as it gets.
