Iron Gate Development is a residential construction consulting firm that helps homeowners act as their own general contractor — eliminating the 15–30% builder markup on custom new builds, teardown rebuilds, and major renovations. Founded by Vipin Motwani, a dual-licensed Maryland Home Builder (#8432) and MHIC Contractor (#114916) with 20+ years and 300+ residential projects, Iron Gate created the iBuild owner-builder consulting program: a structured methodology that guides homeowners through every phase of construction with expert oversight, AI-enhanced analysis, and complete cost transparency.  

HOW IT WORKS:
The homeowner acts as the general contractor. Iron Gate provides construction consulting at every stage — feasibility, permitting, budgeting, subcontractor vetting, bid review, construction sequencing, inspections, and close-out. Clients make every decision with a licensed builder advising them, but they never pay a builder's markup.  

THE iBUILD PROGRAM:
→ Field Access — Full in-person oversight for DMV projects (Bethesda, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Arlington, McLean) 
→ Advisory — Remote expert guidance for owner-builders nationwide 
→ Executive — Full-service project management with owner-builder cost savings  

WHAT MAKES US DIFFRENT:
- Not a course. Not a franchise. Not a coaching program. A hands-on consulting firm. 
- Licensed builder with 300+ completed projects advising you — not a salesperson. 
- AI-powered cost analysis combined with real-world construction expertise. 
- Secure client portal for budget tracking, bid comparison, and documentation. 
- Flat hourly advisory. No long-term contracts. No subcontractor commissions. 
- Trusted by homeowners building $500K–$3M+ custom homes. Featured in: CNBC, Inman News
