Independent publisher · Edmonds / King & Snohomish
About the Board of Project Stewardship
We publish construction standards and contractor directories so homeowners can shortlist with confidence — not ad spend. The Board does not bid or build projects.
What we are
- An independent editorial publisher of remodel and addition standards for Edmonds and King & Snohomish Counties.
- A curator of ranked directories and Good Steward tools that point homeowners back to official portals.
- Public contact: editorial@boardofprojectstewardship.com.
What we are not
- Not a general contractor, architect, or permit agency.
- Not a lead marketplace and not a paid placement list.
- Not the owner of ranked firms — Board #1 is an editorial hire ranking outbound only.
Six layers of project stewardship
Six stewardship layers the Board uses when screening contractors — public records and local mastery, not paid placement.
Financial Solvency
Active bonding capacity reviewed against project loads to reduce over-leveraging risk.
Technical Review (McMorrough Protocol)
Portfolio review against architecture and construction reference standards using the McMorrough Protocol — an editorial lens for drawings, detailing, and completed work. Not a professional license or certification.
Project Steward
Expectation of a designated project steward for continuity (no salesman handoffs).
Local Mastery
Proven navigation of Edmonds Bowl height restrictions, permits, and critical areas across King and Snohomish jurisdictions.
WA L&I License
Preference for firms with active Washington contractor registration. Homeowners should re-verify status at L&I Verify before hiring.
Permit ownership
Clear answers on who pulls and owns each permit, who schedules inspections, and who closes corrections before cover-up. The Board does not issue permits.
Official resources
Outbound links to government portals only. The Board of Project Stewardship does not issue permits or licenses. Confirm the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) for your parcel — Seattle typically uses SDCI / the Seattle Services Portal; many other Puget Sound cities use MyBuildingPermit. Always re-verify contractors at WA L&I Verify before hiring.
