Stop Giving Away the Most Valuable Part of Your Business.
Download the exact Pre-Construction Agreement we've spent 5 years refining.
For years, we did what most contractors do.
We spent dozens—sometimes hundreds—of hours meeting homeowners, revising estimates, coordinating subcontractors, answering questions, and pricing projects...for free.
Some clients hired us. Many didn't.
It wasn't until I started building Cruz Built that I realized something:
Pre-construction isn't part of construction. It's its own professional service.
Once we began treating it that way, everything changed.
Today, every project begins with a paid Pre-Construction Agreement that clearly defines expectations, deliverables, pricing, and the path to a fixed-price construction contract. The agreement explains that pre-construction is a standalone planning phase where the project is defined, engineered, coordinated, and priced before construction begins.
And we're giving you the framework.
Why We Believe Every Contractor Should Charge for Pre-Construction
Most contractors aren't just writing estimates anymore.
They're developing scopes of work, coordinating trades, reviewing plans, researching products, solving constructability issues, and building realistic budgets.
That's pre-construction.
The problem is, many contractors are still giving that work away for free.
Until now.
