Drafting and consulting from a seasoned home builder who knows the field—because I’ve lived it.
Design Smarter. Build Better. Avoid Costly Mistakes.
Meet The Consultant
I’m Ben Gardner, a former hands-on home builder turned remote consultant. After decades on construction sites, I now help homeowners like you make smarter decisions about your house — before the sawdust ever flies.
I specialize in reviewing blueprints, guiding pre-renovation planning, and walking homes with clients to identify issues and opportunities early. My goal is simple: help you avoid regrets, wasted money, and stressful surprises during your build or maintenance journey.
I work with people across Texas and beyond, combining builder’s experience with a calm, collaborative approach. You bring your questions — I bring perspective and practical answers.
