Are you looking to build your own home without a General Contractor or using a General Contractor during the framing process only? Don't do this alone. Let CC Construction Services help you! There are a lot of owner builder books on the market, but there isn't one which goes through how to bid, what to look for in bids, how to manage the design changes. CC Construction Services has over 40 years of home building experience with the big, national builders. Now they show people, like you, how they do it. For only $19.95, you'll get over 275 pages of 'how to' along with downloadable forms you can start using today. Contracts, Scopes of Work, Change Order, Lien Waviers, and much more!
What is outsourcing? You can outsource day to day items that would cost you more with your time than to have someone else to do it for you. And for pretty inexpensively.
Why outsource when you are building your own home or if you are small general contractor? To save you time and money. In construction with heavy deadlines, time is money and money is time.
The design build industry is heading toward 'lean construction contracting', ie virtual construction, and we can help you do just that.
We have worked for the majority of the national home builders and custom build contractors. Our services include contracting (your contract or ours), bidding, bid evaluations, budget management, construction help, scheduling, project coordination, design change management, job walk scheduling to name a few. We can free you up so you can run your job smoother.
Owner Builders make up 15% of all the new homes build across the country every year.
Building your own home, whether you are doing it all yourself or you are by passing the General Contractor and hiring your own subs, will save you $50k+. It's a great accomplishment and it should be. After all, you are building a space where memories will be created and life for years.
We have combed the national bookstores and online retailers looking at all the 'How To' books for building your own home. Not ONE talks about bidding and contracting the job. This is the meat and potatoes. Bad accepted bid, budget is blown. Didn't contract a sub and he doesn't show up? There goes your schedule which could affect your bank loan which also means more time. Are you just handing the sub a check? Sure hope not. And what about the design changes that happen on the job - how are you going to manage them? They are going to happen. Has happened on every house we've ever built.
In construction, time is money and money is time
You can absolutely build your own house. The best way to go about it is to hire subcontractors for the big jobs. If you want to paint the interiors, for example, get your family to help. And be careful about the siblings, cousins, uncles and nephews who come out of the wood work to help - saying they'll give you a good deal. Or the "I know someone". These are all good intentions, but because they are giving you a 'good deal', 9 out of 10 times, your job will not be their priority, yes, costing you time and eventually money.
