Backstage With Tina B · OwnersBackstage With Tina B
This is where you stop figuring it out alone. From the day you own your land to the day you are ready to sign with a builder, I am inside your project with you, not just answering questions about it.
No fixed end date. No lock-in. Just the two of us, your dedicated project app, and thirty years of field experience pointed directly at your build.
$2,500 every 30 days · No minimum commitment
You Are In The Right Place If…
- ✓ You already own your land, or you are days away from closing on it.
- ✓ You know you want to build but you do not know the right order of decisions.
- ✓ You have talked to a builder or an architect and walked away with more questions than answers.
- ✓ You have watched enough content online to know what you do not know.
- ✓ You are about to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to a process you have never been through before, and the people who are supposed to guide you have a financial interest in your decisions.
That last one is worth reading again. Your builder makes money when you build. Your architect makes money when you design. Your realtor made money when you bought the land. I make money when you are protected. That is a different relationship, and it is exactly what Backstage was built for.
Here Is What Nobody At The Table Is Telling You
Most owners approach a custom build the same way. They get excited, they buy land, they call a builder. They sit across a table from someone they just met, signing documents they have not read, for a number they cannot verify, on a timeline they cannot confirm.
I have sat on the other side of that table for thirty years. I have watched owners hand over a draw to a builder who had not paid his subs, not knowing the liens were already piling up. I have watched couples argue over a change order that never should have happened if someone had explained the contract before they signed it. These are not rare stories. These are Tuesday.
The owners who avoided these situations had one thing the others did not: someone in their corner who had already seen every version of this story, and who was not selling them anything except clarity.
A Private Client Experience, Not A Course
Weekly One-On-One Calls
A standing private session with Tina B, every week, for as long as you are in the program. Not a webinar, not a group call, your project on the table.
Your Dedicated Project App
A private portal built around your build. Scope of work, budget actuals versus estimates, selections, and a schedule that takes shape as your decisions get made, on your desktop and your phone.
Curated Course Access
Specific lessons from the Blueprint Clarity Series assigned directly to where you are in the process, not the entire library, not a firehose.
Assignments & Document Review
Homework between calls that keeps your project moving, and a second set of experienced eyes on the documents before you sign anything.
Backstage Community Access
A private channel for active Backstage clients only. You are never doing this in isolation.
Hands-On App Setup
Tina personally walks you through setting up your project inside the app during onboarding, so it is working for you from week one, not week six.
“Before Tina B retired, we were fortunate enough to have her as our builder. We can attest that the same process she applied with us during our custom home building journey is the same process she will support you through virtually. This was our second home build, and learning that the process is what matters is key. Tina B's process was thorough, full of realistic expectations, and a great experience. We agree that if you Master the Process, you will Love the Build.”

From Your First DecisionTo A Confident Build Start
Every client and every project is different. Most owners move through these three phases in around 90 days. Some move faster, some need longer. Backstage runs at the pace your project needs, not a calendar.
Foundation
Getting Your Project Set Up Right
Your app gets built out around your actual land and your actual budget. Financing clarity, a real budget framework, and the ground rules for every decision that comes after this one.
Process
Design, Estimating & Contracts
Construction method decisions, working through your architect relationship, estimating review, and reading every contract clause before it has your signature on it.
Field Ready
Choosing Your Builder
Builder selection strategy, bid comparison, and schedule review. You walk out knowing your entire project, schedule, budget, selections, plans, ready to sign with the right builder.
What This Investment Is Worth
$2,500
Every 30 Days · No Minimum Commitment · Five Seats At A Time
A custom home in the United States costs between $300,000 and $2,000,000 to build. A single bad land decision, a misread contract clause, or an unchecked allowance line can cost tens of thousands of dollars before anyone realizes what happened. Most builders also require a deposit before they start, and once that money is down, walking away can start to feel impossible even when it is exactly what the situation calls for.
That is the sunk cost fallacy at work, protecting money you already spent instead of protecting the home you are about to live in. The "Finding The Right Builder" course inside the Blueprint Clarity Series walks you through exactly how to spot the right fit before you ever write that first check.
A consultant in your corner through the process costs far less than an expensive builder mismatch, and keeps you focused on getting it right instead of defending a decision you have already made.
Your project app is included for as long as you are in Backstage. Once you sign with your builder, it continues at $299 a month through construction, and everything is yours to export at your Certificate of Occupancy.
If you need a one-hour answer instead of an ongoing engagement, the Ask Tina B consulting call is the right fit.

Backstage With Tina B takes a maximum of five clients at a time. That is not a sales tactic, it is the only way to do this right. Every application is reviewed by Tina B personally.

Step Two
Take The Emotions & Expectations Course
This course is required for every Backstage applicant, and that is intentional. It will not hand you technical checklists, that comes later. It prepares you mentally for what you are actually about to take on. Enrolling shows me you are serious about doing this the right way, and finishing it gives you an honest, clear-eyed read on whether now is the right time for you to move forward.
Start With Emotions & Expectations
Step Three
Book An Ask Tina B Consulting Session
One private hour with me before Backstage, so we both know this is the right fit before you ever apply. My experience has shown that possibly another solution is available because everyone's custom build is unique. This consultation call is critical to start you off on the right path unique to your custom build journey.
