I am about to start building my house and acting as my own GC. I know there are tons of material suppliers in the area, but just wanted to know if any of you that have built your own house found some suppliers to be better suited for an owner builder, price/quality/helpful/etc. TIA

I sub contracted my house 2 years ago. I brought a set of plans to Ed Price, 84 Lumber, and Pat's Home Center in Central.

All were about the same price. Some were cheaper on some things and the other cheaper on other stuff.

I went with Pat's Home Center. The guy a delt with was Ken, but there are 2 other guys there that were very helpful.

I was able to setup a 30 day account with Pat's. Material was of good quality and if you are in a jam Ken will deliver stuff himself, sometimes the same day.

Very happy with Pat's Home Center. Give them a shot.

FYI...Coburns is good for your plumbing stuff. Ask for Laura.
