You
will act as your own General Contractor. This can be a nightmare.
You have to learn a lot. There will be many headaches and plenty
of catastrophe's to avoid. One of the first headaches will happen
when you apply for a permit and are told you can't be your own
general contractor. What
do you do?
There are three major
areas that will affect the savings you can achieve, when you decide
to be the general contractor for your remodeling or construction
project: management, labor and materials. As
you make decisions in each of these areas, you can achieve substantial
savings, but mistakes can be a real pain and very expensive.
Can you give me an
example of potential savings? How about a couple
potential nightmare examples? If you would like to read more about
