1. Purpose of the Coaching Program

The Construction Coaching Program is designed to provide educational guidance, practical instruction, and coaching related to residential remodeling, construction planning, estimating, budgeting, project sequencing, contractor communication, and project management concepts.

The purpose of coaching is to help you make more informed decisions through education — not to manage or direct your construction project.

  • General Contractor

  • Prepare engineering or architectural plans
  • Approve construction methods
  • Guarantee workmanship
  • Obtain permits
  • Schedule inspections

  • Negotiate with contractors on your behalf

Participation in this coaching program does not create a contractor-client, consultant-client, project management, architect-client, engineer-client, fiduciary, or professional services relationship.

All coaching is provided solely for educational purposes.

3. Your Responsibilities

You remain solely responsible for all decisions regarding your remodeling or construction project, including:

  • Hiring and managing contractors
  • Reviewing bids and contracts
  • Verifying measurements, pricing, and material quantities
  • Obtaining permits
  • Scheduling inspections
  • Complying with local building codes
  • Following manufacturer specifications
  • Maintaining jobsite safety
  • Hiring qualified licensed professionals when appropriate
  • Making all final project decisions

Construction laws, codes, and permit requirements vary by location. You are responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations.

4. Coaching Sessions

Coaching sessions are educational conversations intended to improve your understanding of construction planning, budgeting, estimating, scheduling, contractor communication, and project organization.

Recommendations provided during coaching sessions are based on the information you choose to share and are intended to help you evaluate options and understand construction concepts.

You remain solely responsible for deciding whether and how to implement any ideas discussed during coaching.

5. Document Reviews

If your coaching package includes reviews of estimates, proposals, scopes of work, contracts, schedules, budgets, or similar documents, those reviews are educational in nature.

STCA does not:

  • Verify pricing accuracy
  • Guarantee completeness
  • Certify contractor proposals
  • Approve construction methods
  • Determine legal enforceability
  • Confirm code compliance
  • Accept responsibility for project outcomes

Document reviews are intended only to help you better understand the materials you have received.

6. No Guarantee of Results

Every construction project is unique.

STCA makes no guarantees regarding:

  • Project costs
  • Budget savings
  • Completion timelines
  • Contractor performance
  • Project quality
  • Investment returns
  • Code compliance
  • Inspection results
  • Property value
  • Remodeling outcomes

Results depend on many factors outside STCA's control, including project scope, local regulations, contractor performance, material availability, market conditions, and your implementation of the coaching guidance.

7. Scheduling & Cancellation Policy

Scheduled coaching sessions may be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice.

Missed appointments or cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be considered completed sessions and may not be eligible for rescheduling, except in cases of emergency at STCA's discretion.
