Every requirement traces to a paragraph in your contract, not a generic template from another job.

02 / REVIEWER-READY

Answers before questions

Organized the way government reviewers check them, so comments are rare and quick to close.

03 / FIELD-TESTED

Plans that match the work

Written for how crews actually build, so the plan on file holds up during inspections.

One price, revisions included

A fixed quote up front, and reviewer comments are answered at no extra cost until accepted.

Founder

Who you'll work with

Daniel, founder of Station Zero Advisory
DanielFounder & Principal
Most submittals come back for the same handful of reasons. I write packages that answer the reviewer's questions before they're asked.

Daniel founded Station Zero Advisory to give contractors the kind of Division 01 support that usually only large firms have in-house. His work has centered on federal construction for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of Veterans Affairs, with direct responsibility for contract administration, quality control, site safety, and change management on projects totaling more than $160 million.

A Marine Corps veteran, Daniel works directly with every client from first call to final acceptance. Your package is never handed off to someone you haven't met.

FAQ

Common questions

Don't see yours? Email it and you'll get a straight answer within a business day.

What happens if the government rejects a submittal?

Revisions are included in the fixed price. Reviewer comments are answered and the document is resubmitted at no extra cost until it's accepted.

How fast can you turn a package around?

You'll get a fixed quote within two business days of receiving your documents. Delivery dates are set in the quote and built around your submittal deadlines.

How is pricing set?

Each package is quoted at a fixed price based on scope, contract size, and agency requirements. No hourly billing on plan packages.

Will you serve as our SSHO or QC Manager?

No. Plans are written for your designated personnel, and we help prepare their qualification packages for government approval.

Do you only work on federal projects?

Federal work for USACE and the VA is the core of the practice, but we also write safety programs and quality plans for commercial contractors and owners.

How is our project information handled?

Your contract documents are used only to prepare your package and are kept confidential. A nondisclosure agreement is available on request.
