re: General Contracting your Home Build

I am in the very early stages of this right now. Met with our builder last night. The system he has set up allows us to be our own general contractor and we pay a monthly fee to him to oversee and handle all subs. All of his pricing is set up beforehand. We can use our own subs or we can use ones he has previous relationships with. We pay the subs directly and he does not get a cut. This also allows to be as active as we want to be in the building process.
