How To Build A House: The Ultimate OWNER BUILDER Guide!

Рет қаралды 204,208

Күн бұрын

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.

Great video and explanation. A few things I’d point out. As a builder I get too often clients coming with plans and have x amount of dollars in budget but the budget doesn’t line up with the dream home plans. I would advise to hire as a consultant a builder or GC to help with design phase. Architects are great but sometimes over design. An experienced builder can help get you what you want but help give input on better more cost effective ways to design. Also highly recommend getting soil test during your option period. I’m building on a lot that required 2’ of dirt to be removed because its elasticity wasn’t good. However other builds around me just scrap and drop forms. Lots of foundation issues in near future with all these new builds.

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 6 ай бұрын

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.

@alpargatal 6 ай бұрын

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.

Oftentimes the City, Village or Town have a list of all the contractors ( electrical, HVAC, Masonry, plumbing, landscaping...) already licensed with them. Ask for that list, some municipalities list their contractors on their Web site. Not all municipalities share this information but many have a list you can pick up at the building department.

@rebuild000 Ай бұрын

❤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.
