Construction Consultant in Philadelphia?
Is there such a job as a construction consultant? I am trying to rehab a house through subcontractors, and I think they are trying to take advantage of me. The estimates are all very vague and every time I try to get specific information on what is to be done, i get the impression that they feel I am wasting their time....it's like pulling teeth. It's a challenge to even compare the estimates I get because they are all so different and I want to compare apples to apples.
I'd like to hire a third party (neutral party) to come in and give me a workflow punchlist type thing...with the order things need to be done and approximate fair price. I can pay them for the day I suppose, to look at the property, give me some advice, and a punchlist type thing....maybe a retired contractor who has no vested interest. I really feel like I'm being taken advantage of by contractors!

@Alyse Oz Maybe your best bet would be to hire a General Contractor/Project manager.
