Consulting
Are you a Realtor or Land Owner who wants to know more about developing a piece of land (or marketing land/homes with possible sub-dividable lots)?
REALTORS – We do rapid turn around floor plans for your residential and commercial listings (one simple tool that makes your listings more attractive).
Wondering if that extra large yard can be turned into an additional lot?..
Wondering if you can turn your single family property into a multi-family?..
Are you a BUYER who wants to know whether that advertised “extra lot” is actually buildable and useful?..
Look no further. We are pleased to lend our expertise in finding creative and affordable solutions for adding value to undeveloped properties (and modifying existing underdeveloped properties to exploit their full market potential).

CONTRACTED BUSINESS CONSULTING
* Feasibility / Redevelopment Studies
* Contract Estimating / Bid Services
* RFI / Change Orders
* Business Development / Marketing / Logistics
ATTN CONTRACTORS: We do something for other construction companies that few consultants are even capable of – WE WORK IN THE FIELD or OFFICE (right next to your crew). Not only do we add to your bottom line, we also MAKE YOU MONEY (through billable time or work production) when we’re on the job.
Sure, we provide estimating, RFI and Change Order support for your ongoing projects…but we also contribute to your bottom line in ways few others can.
Unlike other consultants (who stand around and “watch” what happens…or spend hours wasting your crew’s time
with fact-finding “interviews” that disrupt your work-flow), we quiz and observe your crew and contractors in real time. We do it while we’re standing right next to them (performing the work that you profit from).
Think of it as hiring a subcontractor and getting a consultant for free.
Cool, right?
Example: One of our clients hired us to perform the same scope of work their own employees do (for one
of their biggest accounts). Not only are we able to double their sales under that contract (by billing more
man-hours), we did the same job as their employees, and with no loss to their bottom line.
While we are performing a billable trade we are able to uncover savings, problems, profit, etc…and compile that information for review by management.
Best of all, as a subcontractor, we’re a “direct expense”. Any contractor who would normally consider us a competitor actually gets all of our insights while ADDING SALES (instead of some white collar idiot slowing your company down and
charging you a ridiculous hourly rate to put you and your crew under a their microscope).
Residential & Commercial
Design & Feasibility Studies
Buyer Walkthrough Support (real time assessment)
Example1: Our client purchased a single family home with an undivided parcel for $180k.
They remodeled the purchased home (now worth $230k) and also have a 2nd buildable lot worth $65k.
Total Equity after expenses: $80k (in only 4 months).
Example2: Our client had acreage for many residential homes but housing prices didn’t provide for
development. Using LastenHausTM Brand Modular homes we were able to make the math work.
Total Benefit: More affordable and equipped homes with a higher profit-margin on each one. Project Awaiting
Permitting.
Example3: Our client is pursuing a property in the North Shore to build a duplex.
We’ve eliminated multiple candidate properties from their search so they can focus on the few properties
which actually meet their construction criteria. As a result, their designs only have to be suited to a select group of possible sites and those sites can measured against each other (apples to apples).
Total Benefit: Buying more intelligently guarantees that the land can be used the way our client wants to use it.
Example4: Our Production Company client needed full construction drawings and remodeling estimates on a mixed use theater building and commercial space before closing. We provided all feasibility designs and estimates prior to Purchase & Sale (in only 10 days) saving the client from making a big mistake.
Total Benefit: Priceless
Example5: We were brought in to streamline the operations of a residential apartment development (maintenance, turnovers & remodeling). Our suggestions were implemented by the Owner through a retooling of the maintenance crew and adding various contractors. Our client sold the property at a great price. The new buyer converted the same property into condos and retained our referred contractors for the work.
Total Benefit: Profit for Owner and over $1.5M in contracting work for our referred contracting team.
