re: How Much Cheaper Would A Home Be If The Owner Built It Themselves?

You're getting a little undue hate here. However, this is one of those things, that if you have to ask, you're not qualified.

We built my parents house, it's worth roughly 3x of what was paid for in materials and random contractors in an upper end Ascension neighborhood. We did everything except plumbing and the highest peak roof framing.


Whatever you do save, you pay for in labor, headache and time. If you are not highly qualified, its likely you should pay someone to do it.
