Real Results from Real Owner-Builders

The Oldham Family: Building with Owner Builder Network gave them so many options, one of which, allowed them to build a totally handicap accessible area for their son.

The Williams: They followed OBN energy efficient recommendations (that don't break the bank) and have noted that this much bigger home with a pool has about the same energy consumption of their previously smaller home and no pool!

The Price Family: They saved everything a builder would have profited off of their project in builder fees, upgrade charges and change order fees. Everything they saved went back into their "pocket" as equity or if they wanted to upgrade any items – they only paid labor and materials – no upgrade charges!
