If you are thinking about building your own custom home, there are some simple questions you should ask yourself, and some answers you should get before starting.
What are the reasons I should be an Owner Builder Network® customer?
In a word—Money! In another word—Control!
Let us talk about money first. There is no better way to build equity than to be an owner/builder—but the process will take more time and attention than having a general contractor. Therefore, in essence, you will earn your equity.
Builders are in the custom home business to make money. Nothing wrong with that—they work hard for their pay. In addition, the builder has to have lots of connections and resources to make the project come off smoothly. However, let us just recognize that a builder has to make a profit on the project. Otherwise, why do it?
So at the very least, when you build your own home, you will save yourself the "profit" that the builder has to plan into that job. You may also save yourself construction management fees and other markups that are simple part of the home construction system. If you are building a $400,000 home, at least 10% of that project is profit or construction management fees; maybe even more.
Through Owner Builder Network® we help you with the hard stuff. The design, finance, budget, contractors, bids through drywall and unlimited phone calls. We also do periodic site visits to monitor the work and money for you. Call today for a free appointment to sit with one of our consultants to talk about your new home.
