How it works

You see the bids. You approve the scope.

Tantum is not the crew on your roof. We write the scope, run it out to qualified contractors, compare what comes back on equal terms, and then supervise the work against the scope you approved. That structure is the whole point — the person checking the work is not the person invoicing for it.

1

Walk it & scope it

We look at the property with you, agree on what's actually being done, and put it in writing — line by line, so nothing is left to interpretation later.

2

Bid & award

The scope goes to qualified contractors. We verify license and insurance, level the bids against the same work, and bring you a recommendation with the numbers.

3

Build & supervise

Schedule, materials, sequencing, and site checks. Change orders come to you in writing with a reason and a price before anyone proceeds.

4

Walk & close out

Punch list, final walkthrough, warranty documentation, and lien releases — so the job is finished on paper as well as on site.

One point of contact. You are not chasing five subcontractors for four different answers. You call us, and we handle the trades, the schedule, and the problems that come up in between.

Everything on the outside of your home

For homeowners who want the exterior handled properly and once — whether that's a single roof replacement or a full refresh of the outside of the house before you list it, host, or simply stop worrying about it.

Residential · Fix & Flip

The whole property, inside and out

On a flip we do more than swing hammers. Tantum Realty Group can find the property, we build the scope of work, put the bid together, underwrite the deal against a resale number, and then run the renovation. One team from the acquisition through the day it goes back on the market.

Request a walkthrough and a bid

Tell us the address and what you're thinking. We'll walk it, write the scope, and come back with real numbers you can compare — not a figure someone guessed from the curb.

  1. Tell us the property. Address, and roughly what you want done — one item or the whole building.
  2. We walk it and scope it. In writing, line by line, so you know exactly what's included.
  3. You get the bids. Compared on equal terms, with our recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

Straight answers

Questions we're asked on the first call

Do your own crews do the work?
Tantum scopes the work, prepares and levels the bids, coordinates the trades, and supervises the job. All construction and licensed trade work is performed by licensed and insured third-party contractors under separate agreements. That separation is deliberate — it's what lets us hold the crew to the scope you approved rather than defending our own invoice.
Do I get to see the bids?
Yes. You see what came back and how the bids compare against the same scope, along with our recommendation and why. You approve the award before anyone starts.
Will you do just one thing, like a roof?
Yes. A single item is a perfectly normal scope. Bundling several items into one scope usually gets you a better schedule and fewer trips, but that's your call, not a requirement.
What happens when something comes up mid-job?
It comes to you in writing before the work proceeds — what was found, what it changes, and what it costs. Nothing gets added to your bill because someone made a judgment call on site without asking.
I'm buying a property to flip. Where does that start?
Ideally before you close. Tantum Realty Group can help you find the property, and we can walk it, scope the renovation, and underwrite it against a resale number so you know your all-in cost before you're committed. See Fix & Flip above.
Do you work outside San Antonio?
We work across San Antonio and South Texas. If your property is farther out, call and ask — the answer depends on the scope and whether we have qualified trades in that area.
Tantum Contracting Services

Tell us what needs doing

One walkthrough and a written scope is usually enough to turn a vague project into a real number you can decide on.

Scope of services. Tantum Contracting Services provides scoping, estimating, bid management, trade coordination, project management, and construction supervision. Tantum does not perform licensed trade work. All construction and licensed trade work is performed by licensed and insured third-party contractors under separate agreements with the owner or with Tantum, as applicable. Estimates, budgets, and schedules are preliminary planning estimates based on information available at the time and on conditions visible at walkthrough; concealed conditions discovered during construction may change cost and schedule and are addressed through written change orders. Permitting and inspection outcomes are determined by the governing jurisdiction. Where drawings or engineering are required, they are prepared and sealed by licensed third-party architects and engineers. Renovation budgets and resale estimates are planning tools and are not guarantees of cost, timing, or investment performance. Tantum does not provide legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. Where we introduce outside professionals, we receive no commission and hold no financial interest in them, we are not responsible for the services they provide, and you are free to engage advisors of your own choosing.
