A CLEAR NEXT STEP

Start with a record of what is known—and what is missing.

The free call helps identify whether a separately scoped assessment is appropriate. Detailed Rescue Assessments start at $1,500; additional management or construction is a separate decision.

Bring what you have

Property location, contract, payment history, plans and current photos. Missing records can be identified during intake.

Separate facts from assumptions

Record work in place, outstanding scope, payment questions and permit or inspection gaps. Identify where specialist input is needed.

Compare next steps

Use a cost-to-complete estimate and scheduling risks to assess completion options before committing further funds.

Illustrative assessment outline: current-condition photo log; contract-versus-completed-work comparison; remaining scope with assumptions; open permit or specialist questions; and a prioritized decision list. This is an example structure, not a promise of a particular recovery or completion date.

★★★★★

We'd already committed to a lease when we brought Epex in. Even mid-project, they recovered money on the first two draw reviews and got the schedule back on track. I only wish we'd called them sooner.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

The lowest bid looked good.
Now the costs keep climbing.

Unfinished work, surprise charges or a stalled project? Assess what went wrong, what remains and your next steps.

01 / STALLED PROGRESS

The contractor stopped showing up.

You need a record of current conditions and a credible plan for the remaining work.

02 / UNCLEAR SCOPE

The scope was never clear.

Exclusions and unexpected extras make it hard to compare bids or control costs.

03 / PAYMENTS & PROGRESS

Payments ran ahead of progress.

Compare draws and invoices against work in place before releasing more funds.

GC AND PROJECT OVERSIGHT

Who's managing your GC?

Your contractor may still be on site, but who is checking the scope, schedule, payments and change orders? Without independent oversight, gaps can become costly mistakes.

  • 01
    Permits & scopeWere required permits and inspections completed? Was there a detailed, written scope?
  • 02
    Payments & progressDo payments match the work actually on site? Review changes before committing more money.
  • 03
    Remaining work & costsWhat remains—and what may it cost to finish?

A SEPARATELY SCOPED, PAID SERVICE

The Rescue Assessment.

Understand what has been built, what has been paid and what it will take to move forward.

01 / EXISTING CONDITIONS

Work in place

Site walk and photo log, current conditions and completed work.

02 / PERMITS & SCOPE

Review the records

Permit and inspection status, plans, contract scope, exclusions and change orders.

03 / PAYMENTS

Compare cost with progress

Draws and invoices compared with work actually in place.

04 / PATH TO COMPLETION

A clearer next step

Remaining scope, cost-to-complete estimate, scheduling risks and next steps.

Starting at $1,500

Your fee depends on the project's size, condition and review scope, with pricing agreed before work begins. The free introductory call is separate from the paid assessment.

BEFORE YOU REACH OUT

A few common questions.

My GC is still working. Can you help?

Yes. Owner-side oversight can help review progress, payments, scope and change orders while your contractor remains on the job. Changes in responsibilities must be handled through applicable agreements.

What if required permits were not pulled?

We review available permit and inspection records and help identify questions and next steps for the local authority and appropriate professionals. Requirements depend on the project and work already completed.

Is the introductory call free?

Yes. The 20-minute call is free, with no payment required to book. A detailed Rescue Assessment starts at $1,500, with scope and pricing agreed separately.

What should I bring to the call?

Your questions, project area, contract, plans, invoices, draw history, photos and any permit paperwork you have. Documents do not need to be polished.

Do I have to hire Epex for the next phase?

No. The assessment helps inform your next decision. Ongoing management or construction work would require a separate scope and agreement. Your attorney handles legal advice and contract termination.

Get someone on your side.

Before the next payment or change order, discuss the gaps and your next steps.
