Mark Zitting is the founder and president of Building Budgets Inc. and the definitive voice for transparency in the construction industry. With over 30 years of "boots-on-the-ground" experience, Mark has worked in every sector of the building world—from the dust of the job site to the high-stakes strategy of the boardroom.
Mark’s mission is to eliminate the "budget chaos" that plagues modern construction. He founded Building Budgets Inc. to bridge the dangerous gap between conceptual design and financial reality, transforming high-risk plans into profitable, buildable successes. Unlike academic consultants, Mark offers field-tested wisdom that can’t be taught in a classroom.
In his groundbreaking book, The Hard Hat Truth, Mark pulls back the curtain on the construction industry's most expensive secrets. He challenges the status quo of outsourced guesswork and inaccurate estimating, providing owners, builders, and developers with a blueprint for accountability and precision.

30+ Years of Field Wisdom: He speaks the language of the trades and the language of the ledger.
The "Zero Waste" Philosophy: His specialized approach to precision take-offs and specialty material lists eliminates the field errors that bleed profits.
Uncompromising Clarity: As an Owner’s Rep, Mark is known for aligning designs with budgets before the first shovel hits the ground, saving his clients millions in potential overruns.
When he isn’t revolutionizing how projects are budgeted, Mark is dedicated to building long-term partnerships based on the core values of his company: Commitment, Impact, and Disciplined Execution.
