CriticalPath™ Kit | See What Your Builder Sees

Most first-time builds go over budget. Not because of bad luck. Because of bad timing.

Every build has 6 zero-float categories: moments where your decision window hits zero. Miss one and a $500 change becomes a $3,500 demolition. A single late call becomes an $8,000 change order you can't say no to. Your builder sees these moments coming. You don't. That's the Zero-Float Trap.

CriticalPath™ hands you the same sequence your builder runs on. It's the Critical Path Method, born at DuPont in 1957. You don't learn construction. You learn when each window opens, and what to do before it closes.

CriticalPath™ Zero-Float System

CORE

• ✦ SEE IT — The Framework + Red Flag Library. 6 zero-float categories plus 17 red flags across bidding, contract, and construction. You see the pattern on paper, not in your bank account.
• ✦ SAY IT — Conversation Scripts + Question Bank. 8 scripts, 3 response variants each. Pre-build questions honest builders answer clearly and dishonest ones dodge. You filter the builder before you're locked in.
• ✦ TRACK IT — Budget Control Workbook + Start Here Guide. Live spreadsheet. Contract baseline in, every change order logged. You catch the overcharge this week, not at the final invoice.
• ✦ Nothing to study. You activate what you need, when you need it. Two weeks before your builder meeting or two hours, same protection.

Bonus 1: Spouse Alignment Module

included free

• ✓ One pre-build conversation locks your joint position on all 6 zero-float categories. A delegation matrix so each partner owns specific decisions.
• ✓ Stop the 11pm fight about tile. Builds don't break budgets, they break couples.

Bonus 2: Pause Protocol

included free

• ✓ 3 duration tiers matched to decision size. Script 7 word-for-word to invoke the pause without apology, then resume on your timeline.
• ✓ "Sign by Monday or we stop work." You say "not yet." And it holds.

Bonus 3: Decision Log

included free

• ✓ 10 columns. Every decision, promise, cost impact, and the builder's exact words. Three change orders on one allowance line? The log shows it.
• ✓ If you don't write it down, it didn't happen. This makes it lawyer-ready.
