If you’re planning a home project, there’s a point where you realize you don’t just need information—you need guidance. That’s where both Private Consulting and Private HQ come in.

They’re designed to support you at different levels, depending on where you’re at and how much support you want throughout your project.

Here’s how they compare and how to choose the right fit for you.

What Is Private Consulting?

Private consulting is a focused, one-on-one session designed to give you clarity on specific questions or decisions.

It’s best for moments where you feel stuck, unsure, or need a second opinion before moving forward.

You might use a session to:

  • Review your plans and documents before submitting

  • Talk through your layout or design decisions

  • Get clarity on budget or scope

  • Ask questions before hiring professionals

You come in with your questions (pre-submitted or on the spot), and leave with clear direction within an hour or less.

Pay for the hour and bank time for later. Want to see what you can do in 1-hr.? Read this.

What Is Private HQ?

Private HQ is a 12-month structured, supportive way to move through your home project with guidance available when you need it.

Instead of a single conversation, it gives you ongoing support, a clear framework to follow, and the tools to stay organized as your project evolves.

It’s not something you have to “keep up with” or work through all at once. Some days it’s five minutes to check something off or find a quick answer. Other times it’s joining a call or getting clarity on a decision that moves your project forward.

Inside Private HQ, you’ll:

  • Follow a clear path through each stage of your project

  • Access tools, templates, and resources when you need them

  • Join live sessions with trusted professionals

  • Use your 1:1 consulting calls at key moments

  • Get ongoing support throughout your project

You’re not left to figure things out on your own—you have guidance behind your decisions, every step of the way.

The Key Difference

The simplest way to think about it:

Private Consulting helps you make a decision.
Private HQ helps you manage the entire process.

One is a moment of clarity.
The other is ongoing structure and support.

When Private Consulting Makes Sense

Private consulting is the right fit if:

  • You have a few specific questions

  • You’re looking for quick clarity

  • You’re early in the process and unsure where to start

  • You want a second opinion before making a decision

It’s a great way to get unstuck and move forward with confidence.

When Private HQ Makes Sense

Private HQ is the right fit if:

  • You want guidance as your project evolves

  • You don’t want to figure everything out on your own

  • You want a clear path through each stage

  • You value having support when questions or decisions come up

It’s for homeowners who want to feel more organized, informed, and in control throughout their project, not just at one point in time.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you’re looking for clarity on one decision, start with consulting.

If you’re looking for a clear path through your entire project, Private HQ is the better fit.

Some homeowners even start with a consulting session, then move into Private HQ once they realize they want more support.

Most homeowners don’t realize how many decisions are ahead of them until they’re already in it.

The difference isn’t just in the level of support, it’s in how your project feels.

With the right guidance, everything becomes more clear, more organized, and far less overwhelming.


Start With the Right Support

If you’re ready to move forward with clarity and confidence, explore Private HQ or book a consulting session to get started.
