Construction Consulting
for New Builds & Flips
Owner builder consulting allows homeowners to act as their own general contractor while receiving expert guidance throughout the construction process. Instead of paying a builder's 15–30% markup, you stay in control of your project, hire subcontractors directly, and make informed decisions with the support of an experienced building consultant.
At Iron Gate Development, you lead your own build as the owner-builder in Maryland, DC, or Virginia — and we stand beside you as your dedicated home building consultant, guiding every decision with clarity and confidence. New to the idea? Learn how the owner-builder model works.
