Real contractor, real liability — not a coach or course.

Our Promise

Eliminate permit and compliance risk on your build. Southern Cities pulls permits under licensed authority, owns compliance, coordinates AHJ inspections, and provides the GC scaffolding that makes the project legally executable — while you run daily ops.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEENC GC #107724

Performance guarantee: full refund of engagement fee if after planning we determine we cannot deliver GC scaffolding for your project (permit path, compliance scope, or risk profile outside what we can underwrite). The refund trigger is Southern Cities’ call, not the buyer’s.

The refund trigger is Southern Cities' call, not the buyer's — you are paying for our commitment to deliver, not gambling on outcomes.

The GC-Supported Build answers

"Who is actually controlling and assuming execution responsibility?"

Provide licensed GC structure and oversight while the owner or owner-side PM manages daily operations. Best for experienced operators who want the legal + compliance scaffolding without giving up daily control.

Why it's a no-brainer

The math.

  • 1Without the GC-Supported Build: investor cannot legally pull permits, sub work runs unlicensed, compliance risk sits on the investor.
  • 2With the GC-Supported Build: project is legally executable under licensed GC, AHJ inspections coordinated, compliance risk transferred to Southern Cities.
  • 3Engagement fee from $5,000 + 4% of project budget retainer = pricing scales with project, not flat.
  • 4Binary value: this is what makes the project legally possible at all.
