J.M.L Construction LLC is an independent consulting and owner-representation firm. We sit on your side of the table — planning soft costs, running preconstruction studies, coordinating your design team, and managing your project in a purely advisory capacity.
Request a Consultation What We Do (and Don’t)Clarity protects you and us. J.M.L Construction LLC holds a Georgia contractor license as proof of qualification — but we provide professional consulting services only. All construction is performed by separate licensed contractors who contract directly with you, the owner.
Everything before and around the build — so the build itself goes right.
Feasibility analysis, site and program evaluation, conceptual budgets, and risk identification before you commit capital.
Complete planning of design fees, permits, surveys, testing, insurance, financing, and contingency — the costs that sink unprepared projects.
We help you select, engage, and manage licensed architects and engineers, and keep design deliverables aligned with your budget and goals.
Your advocate through bidding, contracting, and construction — reviewing pay applications, schedules, and changes. Advisory agency capacity only.
Lender-ready project packages: development budgets, pro formas, draw schedules, and progress reporting that keep your financing on track.
Independent second opinions on bids, contracts, and project health — for owners, lenders, and investors who need straight answers.
We hold a Georgia contractor license — so you know we’re qualified to judge the work — but we never use it to build. We serve strictly as your consultant and agent, never contractually at risk for the performance or cost of construction. That independence is the point: our only stake is your outcome.
J.M.L Construction LLC was founded by Dr. Justin M. Lee, Sr. after years spent on the building side of the industry. We moved to the owner’s side — bringing a builder’s instincts for where projects lose money, time, and quality.
That experience is now exclusively in your corner. We know how contractors price, how schedules slip, and how soft costs get overlooked — because we’ve lived it. Today we use that knowledge solely as consultants and owner’s representatives.
Tell us about your project — land, building, renovation, or just an idea. We’ll tell you what it really takes to get it financed, designed, and built right.
