  • Want to learn how to build a house, or more specifically how to build your own house as an owner builder? Well then this is the right video for you because I explain the full home building process starting with the purchase of the land, then move onto the design process, then fining and hiring subcontractors, then the permitting process, then actually starting and managing the home build, all the way to the final punch list walkthrough. Building your own home means you will act as your own general contractor which means you will SAVE 20-30% instead of hiring another home builder, which can equate to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the size of the project. Watching this video is you taking your first step to building your own home and the next step is clicking the link below to check out my digital Course that I have created to help first time owner builders!

    I built my own 1200 sq/ft detached garage with frost footing, etc. The hardest part of the entire build was figuring out how to obtain permission to build from the local mafia that has claimed ownership of the area my property resides in. I had to track them down, and then jump through the various hoops and supplications they require and then pay their enormous extortion fee. But when I got that done actually building the garage was relatively easy.

    I am an architectural designer. The biggest obstacle I have found with my clients is they hire me to draw plans for their home or addition, we get through the design phase making sure the plans show what they want, then when they show them to the contractor, they get sticker shock and abandon the project. They don't know how much a build will cost (in my area it's about 250 - 300/sq ft for a typical track home) and they don't know how to determine their budget. This is frustrating for me and frustrating for them.
    I'd like to know, from home builders, what knowledge I can pass on to my clients that will help them get from the idea to the completion? ALL COMMENTS WELCOME.

    • @Piertu
      @Piertu Před 6 měsíci

      1. Pinterest home styles to nail what they’re going for. 2. Estimate cost per sq ft to build in your local area according to style of selected home. Then you have a realistic Base to start from. Your best bet is to start working with us builders/contractors as we will know pricing for materials and labor. It takes years of experiences and due diligence for us to obtain the contacts, resources and education so as to avoid dilemmas such as these. Definitely a valid good question hope this helps.

      I am not an Architect or Civil Engineer but I've design the house I want to built and I've calculated the cost of materials and labor just researching on the Internet. Then I added 20 to 35 % of that figure which is what a GC would charge me to take on my project to have a close idea about the total cost of it. I've concluded that I will be my own GC no matter what it takes. I think you should be able to give them a very close idea of what the final cost would be. I don't see why not.

    In most places you can't be the GC on a home build to be a rental property or to sell, without having a Contractors license, and you aint getting one of them unless you got years of experience.
    You can build your own home to live in and be the GC, but if you sell it before living in it at least a year, they will get you for contracting without a license.

      @rebuild000 Před měsícem +1

      ❤nothing to be afraid of. Just check out their work history and or get recommendations from people who know their work experience. Ask questions on the type of projects they've completed. Also have the contractor(s) place your name on the Certificate of Insurance as an certificate holder in your name (it's usually free to the contractor from their insurance carrier) this will protect you if the contractor work is faulty or if something happens..., you can go after their insurance and hire a different contractor if need be to finish the project. It also depends on what's in the small print on the contract. I recommend hiring a good project manager that knows the construction process if you want to build yourself.

    I have this question How can you build more than one home as your own GC? Some jurisdictions around the US state you must live in the house for 12 months before selling or only being able to construct a single family once every 5 years.

    I may have missed it, but how do you ensure you are designing a home within your budget? Seems you can accidentally over design costing much more than expected
    Thanks

      Once you know what you're building you can have a contractor or estimator put some preliminary cost together so you'll have an ideal budget. Knowing what type of finishes are going into your home will play big part on determining the budget. Going to the stores yourself and picking out flooring, tiles, cabinets, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, window, doors, appliances... Take pictures at the stores, some stores like Home Depot, Sherwin Williams..., have a design team or a person in different departments that can assist you or design it out at the store or you can do it on-line on their site. They can give you a print out on the material cost and if it needs to be ordered how long it will take. Each contractor should be bidding off the same specifications ( type, style, model number, manufacturer... ) otherwise contractors will install anything and prices will be all over the place. Knowing what you want will help with your budget. If everyone is too high then you may have to pick out different materials. Also see what each contractor charge price per square feet or their flat rate fee.

    Is your plumber and electrician the same contractor that did the plumbing and electrical work in the beginning of the foundation? Or do you hire different ones?

    How did you get a lender to let you be your own GC that’s what I can’t find!! Do I need to build a small project cash first to have proof I know what I’m doing?
