re: Self Contract New Home Build.

I was the GC on our home in 2013. It’s a 2 story on a chain wall foundation to give it a farmhouse look. For the most part everything went well with a few exceptions. We did quite a bit of work ourselves to make sure we stayed in budget. I didn’t spend less doing it this way. The money I “saved” was spent on upgrades and changes as we built. All in all it wasn’t bad but you have to dedicate yourself to it. I was here every day and night . The subs were all local and did what we’d agreed to. The plumber was the only one that was hard to deal with but it all worked out in the end.
Don’t pay a sub fully until all the work is completed as agreed. Once they don’t have a reason to come back they won’t.
