Construction Monitoring

Ensuring Quality, Transparency, and Peace of Mind

 


Overview of Our Construction Monitoring Service

At Prep My Lakehouse (PML), we provide on-site oversight for new builds, remodels, and home improvements at lakehouses. Our Construction Monitoring Service is highly customizable, offering everything from basic check-ins to full documentation of the construction process with photos, videos, and detailed reports.

This service was one of the original ideas behind PML, born from personal experience with unreliable contractors. We understand the frustration of vague updates, hidden mistakes, and the hassle of long-distance management. That’s why we provide homeowners with transparent, reliable, and proactive construction monitoring.

Historical Documentation for Homeowners

• Provides a comprehensive record of construction. • Useful for insurance claims, future renovations, or problem-solving.

Case Study: Long Cove Construction Monitoring

A homeowner in Long Cove hired PML to monitor their townhome build weekly. The homeowner received consistent updates and proactive issue resolutions from the same PML team member who visited each week.

Key Issues Prevented:

  • Incorrect Garage Extension: A planned one-foot expansion was never completed—PML caught this before drywall installation.
  • Leak Detection: PML’s documentation proved the issue was a tile-related leak rather than a plumbing problem, saving unnecessary repair costs.
  • Mold Prevention: A contractor attempted to paint over mold—PML documented it and ensured proper remediation.

After completion, the homeowner had a full photographic history of their build, making future renovations and problem-solving much easier.

Challenges & Industry Pushback

Not all contractors welcome construction monitoring. Many see it as “watchdogging” and resist transparency. However, our goal is not to micromanage—it’s to protect the homeowner’s investment.

  • Some builders cut corners intentionally. Without oversight, contractors may take shortcuts that compromise quality.
  • Our involvement forces accountability. PML ensures that work is completed as agreed upon and up to standard.
  • Homeowners often don’t realize they need it—until they do. Many assume their contractor is handling everything properly, only to later face delays, mistakes, or unexpected costs.

PML gives lakehouse owners the confidence and peace of mind that their construction projects are being handled correctly from start to finish.
