Deciding to build your own home, or even just act as General Contractor (GC) is not a decision to take lightly. But many of our clients DO go that route because:
A. They seem to know more about building science than any local builder or contractor
B. They get pushback from the local pros on their goals, their materials, or methods
C. They don't trust the process to be as transparent and thoughtfully-paced with a team who builds fast
D. They believe (rightly ot wrongly) it will save money and heartache on the build
Thankfully, today's education quality via YouTube, material and product designs, and the extreme costs and availability of some area's building professionals make DIY'ing part or all of the build much more enticing. Matt Risinger, as you know, is YouTube's biggest high performance builder, and he weighed in with us about the pros and cons of this adventure. We're rooting for you, no matter who or where you are.
