ADVOCATE - Residential Construction Advisors

Collaborating with the ADVOCATE team has enlightened the Ownby team to the fact that they extend their advocacy beyond just the client; they advocate for every member of the team. Their ability to introduce fresh ideas and unconventional approaches is invaluable in keeping the project momentum amidst current challenges. Witnessing their influence in decision-making not only reassures the client but also accelerates the project's progress, particularly in navigating tough choices. Their presence, educating and guiding the entire team, significantly enhances the project's outcome, making it stand out more than it would have otherwise.

The advocate team is outstanding! They communicate very well and listen to our thoughts and concerns. We are both busy and cannot imagine being able to proceed with our new house building project without the advocate. It's the least stressful project I have undertaken. If you are building a house or commercial property, I highly recommend working with them before losing extra money on plan changes, designer changes, etc. It's worth it!!

My husband and I have both been in real estate for well over 20 years, but we had never undertaken any remodeling before that had to be taken down to just the walls and studs. This was completely new to us, and we knew enough to know we didn’t know anything and that we needed serious help, which is where ADVOCATE came in. ADVOCATE gave us an idea of what it could be, and that’s where it got really exciting – we could see what we could do with this house that needed so much help but had these just tremendous views.

As an Architectural Firm, we have thoroughly enjoyed working on several projects with the ADVOCATE team. The strength of this company lies in its commitment and passion towards a successful design journey with its clients. This team is a great asset for homeowners' navigating not only the design process but through the completion of construction as well. The home design and build process can be very complex, and the ADVOCATE team is able to assist in maintaining the budget and keeping to a schedule. Keith, Scott, and the entire ADVOCATE team are a wealth of knowledge and are trustworthy, good people. We appreciate their professionalism and input and look forward to teaming up with them on future projects!

My husband and I have both been in real estate for well over 20 years, but we had never undertaken any major remodeling before, especially one that had to be taken down to just the walls and studs. This was completely new to us, and we knew enough to know we needed serious help, which is where ADVOCATE came in. ADVOCATE gave us almost like a blueprint of what it could be, how to get it there, and what costs could run. We could now see what we could do with this house that needed so much help but had these just tremendous views and lots of potential. We could not be happier with the end result and with ADVOCATE!

When Purchasing a luxury "spec" home, sometimes construction issues arise well past the initial point of purchase. Keith, Scott, and the ADVOCATE - RCA team brought a wealth of construction expertise to help us navigate a water intrusion event with our hillside home. The ADVOCATE RCA team worked collaboratively with the general contractor and engineer, to perform a comprehensive root cause analysis. Keith and team guided led an integrated effort with engineers, foundation specialists and landscape design specialists to outline a multi-step plan to get the project on the right path, and ensure our interests and rights as homeowners were well represented. The ADVOCATE - RCA team brought structure, and immediate peace-of- mind to our family, knowing that the grading and drainage plan implemented would be able to tackle the Arizona Monsoon. I would highly recommend the ADVOCATE-RCA team as a wise investment on any newly purchased "spec" home. Thank you, Tom B. Fountain Hills, AZ

Advocate is unlike any other company I have working with. Their unique approach to creating the perfect team for construction projects has proven to be very effecting for their clients and professionals in the design/build industry. Their knowledge of construction and how successful project work is a huge strength for them. The connections that Advocate has built throughout the building industry is yet another key to their success and an extremely helpful quality for the process. I have worked with Advocate on several projects and their process have proven to be the most efficient I have seen over many years in the design and construction industry. I would refer them to anyone that is looking to build the right team for their project Mary Marsh Lillian James Design Group (Formerly DM Interior Designs)

I would give 10 stars if I could for Advocate. We are in the process of a new home build, and the attention to detail and personalized care has been second to none. Their practice has even made me reevaluate how business will be conducted within my own corporation in the future. It truly feels like every dollar we are discussing is of the utmost importance to them. They have already saved me an extreme amount of money, and helped me course correct in a way that has alleviated the headaches and stress of this process. This firm has been truly invaluable to me and if I were to ever take on a project again in the future, they will absolutely be my first call.

The ADVOCATE team has been an enormously helpful asset for homeowner’s navigating the design and construction process. They understand the value of bringing together a capable team. Their team has been instrumental in helping us work with the owner to both build a design and construction team and provide close assistance to the team and owner. ADVOCATE’s experience in the industry has allowed them to capitalize on the talents of the entire team by ensuring they maintains good working relationships, effective communication, and by coordinating with municipalities and other third parties. The design and construction process is very complex and intensive and the ADVOCATE team is able to look out for the clients best interest to maintain budgets, schedules, and quality. There’s many thousands of decisions to be made and pitfalls to look out for in the process, and ADVOCATE can help owners navigate the process to realize their dream project. Damon Wake

When it comes to delivering a complicated project to the finish line, the team at Advocate - Residential Construction Advisors should be an integral part from beginning to end. For many clients, this is their first time with a large residential remodel or complete custom new home and that can be extremely complicated. Having a trusted advisor from the beginning who is well versed in all aspects of the design/build process is invaluable and is essential for keeping the project on the right track. Cost estimates, budget considerations, design changes, value engineering, construction timelines and efficiencies, project deliverables; so many of these aspects of the overall process can be overwhelming to a client. Providing transparency throughout the process is where Advocate can be a great asset to any homeowner. Additionally, their knowledge of the industry and ability to overcome potential delays is essential to peak performance. The Advocate team has demonstrated these qualities to my clients and team members. As a result, these attributes have resulted in the best outcome of the project for architects, contractors, and homeowners alike. I am happy to have worked with the Advocate team on project and look forward to working with them again in the future to provide other homeowners with the home of their dreams.

We undertook a challenging renovation on our hillside home. The complexity of the ordinances, the difficulty of the work and demanding timelines were overwhelming. The team at Advocate helped us find the right contractors and negotiate through very complex bids and contracts. In doing so, we recognized substantial savings while avoiding unforeseen costs. Most importantly, Advocate has allowed us to feel that we have someone with deep understanding of this process on our side.
