Start a conversation

Most people navigate their biggest financial decision without anyone truly in their corner.

That’s where I come in.

The difference
“I have no financial relationship with any contractor, supplier, or architect I recommend. No markup on materials. No referral fees. My compensation comes from you — and my obligation belongs entirely to your project.”
Severin Winter

Forty years of building in the Hudson Valley. Now working exclusively as an independent advisor.

What I do

01

New Construction

Site assessment, contractor vetting, budget planning, and construction oversight. From the first shovel to the final walkthrough.
