FAQ | CriticalPath Kit
Questions, Answered
Everything first-time homeowners ask before they pick up CriticalPath™.
What is CriticalPath Kit, exactly?
It's a decision system for first-time homeowners building or renovating. It shows you the same sequence your builder already works from: the points where a decision has a hard deadline, what to check before each one, and what to say in the room. Three core tools (See It, Say It, Track It) plus three bonus tools, in one download.
Is this just another checklist?
No. A checklist tells you what to remember. CriticalPath tells you when to decide, what to say, and what to watch for, mapped to the six zero-float windows where a late decision turns into a costly change order. That's the difference between a list and a system.
What's included?
Three core tools: See It (the Framework + a 17-point Red Flag Library), Say It (8 builder scripts with three response paths each, plus a question bank), and Track It (a live Budget Control Workbook). Plus three bonuses free: the Spouse Alignment Module, the Pause Protocol, and the Decision Log.
How do I get it, and what format is it in?
Instant download right after checkout. You get a PDF you can read on any device, plus a live Budget Control Workbook in Google Sheets and Excel. Nothing to install, no login, no waiting.
Which countries does it work for?
It's built for first-time homeowners in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland. The sequence behind a build is the same everywhere; the regional pack covers the local terms.
Do I need to be technical, or know construction?
No. It's written for the person paying for the house, not for a contractor. If you can follow a recipe, you can follow CriticalPath.
Will bringing scripts to a meeting make my builder defensive?
The opposite. The scripts are written to keep the conversation calm and professional. An honest builder respects a homeowner who asks the right question at the right time. You're working as an informed partner, not a passive bystander.
I've already started building. Is it still useful?
Yes, as long as the build isn't finished. Every window you haven't reached yet is a window you can still protect. The earlier you start, the more it's worth.
Who created it?
Jeremy Baker, a former general contractor with 20+ years and 200+ homes behind him. He took the Critical Path Method, born at DuPont in 1957, and translated it into something a homeowner can actually use.
What's your refund policy?
60-day money-back guarantee. No completion clause, no admin fee, no questions. If it's not for you, email us and it's done, and you keep the three bonus tools either way.
