re: Self Contract New Home Build.

It is a rough way to save 10-12% of the build cost. We built in 2022 and hired a builder at cost + 10%. Best decision I ever made.

The lighting, plumbing, appliances all came with a nice contractor discount I would not have had contracting itself.

In real terms, I think the material savings likely shaved 2-3% off the build price alone.
