Christian Silvestri — 3rd generation builder
Three decades of hard-won knowledge protecting owners and investors from the mistakes that cost real money.
Your eyes and ears on the project. We represent your interests through design, bidding, construction, and closeout — so the people spending your money know someone's watching.
We review every line item before you sign. Change orders, budget overruns, inflated allowances — we catch what others miss and negotiate what others accept.
Before you break ground, we analyze feasibility, vet contractors, structure contracts, and set budgets that reflect reality — not the architect's wishlist.
Timelines, quality, budgets, and communication managed across your entire portfolio. From a $50K renovation to a $110M+ development — nothing falls through the cracks.

"Christian reviewed our GC's bid before we signed and found $340,000 in inflated line items. His fee paid for itself before the first wall went up."

"We'd done three projects with other owner's reps. Silvco was the first one who actually knew what the numbers should look like. The difference was immediate."

"Working with Silvco on our pre-construction phase saved us from a contractor that would have blown our timeline by eight months. That's a lesson you only need to learn once."

"Most consultants read about construction. We've poured the concrete, framed the walls, and written the checks. Three generations of building teaches you what no MBA ever will."Christian Silvestri — Principal, Silvco Builders
