You can no longer serve as your own contractor in the state of LA, you have to be a licensed contractor.
This is wrong.
La. R.S. 37:2157 provides exemptions from the necessity of having a contractors license.
Section (A)(2) of that statute provides an exemption to "Owners of property who supervise, superintend, oversee, direct, or in any manner assume charge of the construction, alteration, repair, improvement, movement, demolition, putting up, tearing down, or maintenance of any building, railroad excavation, project, development, improvement, plan facility, or any other construction undertaking, on such property, for use by such owner and which will not be for sale or rent, and the control of access to which shall be controlled by the owner so that only employees and nonpublic invitees are allowed access."
As long as he isn't selling or renting his house, he can act as his own GC.

Yea you still need to get the permits and inspections done but as long as you are living there you can do what you want . Maybe some companies will not give you a construction loan and that is well within their rights.
I contracted my own home in 2006 and it really wasn't bad.
