Thanks for reaching out

Here’s what happens next — plainly, without pressure.

Right away

1. You get a confirmation that we received your request (on-screen if you used the form; optional email acknowledgment only if Nate turns that on).
2. Nate reviews your project type, location, and notes.
3. He contacts you using the method you preferred — phone, email, or text — to talk through fit and the next step.

This first confirmation is not an appointment, a price, or a start date.

Then we talk

Most projects start with a short conversation. Nate may ask about:

• What you want the finished space to do
• Timing and any hard deadlines
• Access, existing conditions, and photos or a site visit
• Rough budget range (only if you’re comfortable sharing)

If the project isn’t a fit (timing, scope, or distance), he’ll say so clearly.

Site visit and planning — what it costs

When a site visit makes sense, there’s a $125 flat fee to come out and look at the project.

Planning and estimate work is billed as consulting time at $123 an hour. Before that work starts, you’ll get a range up front — usually 2–4 hours. Bigger projects can take longer; if the time needs to change, Nate talks it through with you first.

Jobs outside the local area carry an added travel charge, quoted up front. No surprises on the drive.

You’re not just paying for someone to write numbers down. Nate brings 25 years of construction experience to bouncing ideas, shaping the scope, and planning the work so the estimate reflects how the job will actually get built.

If you hire New Covenant within 90 days, the site-visit fee and consulting time are credited toward the job. Either way, you keep the plans, the scope, and the material advice — and you can take them to whoever you choose.
