Build Your Own Home from Start to Finish
by Nancy Sue and Dennis Swoger
Owning a new home with plenty of space and one that’s
affordable - what a great thought!
We were able to go from a 3 bedroom townhouse to a spacious
4 bedroom 2-story contemporary home by building the "Owner / Builder"
way. This is a great way to own something rather than rent, or live into
something smaller than you were hoping for with the money that you wanted to
spend.
What is "Owner / Builder"? That is Someone who
acts as their own General Contractor in building their own home. The company
that you contract with to buy your home package may only give you a sketchy
plan of what you have to do. Unfortunately for us, our home package fit this
category. This forced us to learn so much throughout this entire process. We
had to do a lot of research every step of the way. And we documented every step
so that you can build your own house that you desire without the headaches that
could happen - and save up to 25% in the process!
We take you through every step of the process and include
many checklists, worksheets, and photos. From finding the home that fits you;
finding the right property; making the deal; enlisting in Sub-Contractors; to
actually getting the house build and then to move in day. We include a
step-by-step home building sequence chart and many Sub-Contractor bid request
sample sheets to help you through the process. It’s all in the new book by
Dennis and Nancy Sue Swoger "Build Your Own Home from Start to Finish".
Why settle on too small, too old, or too pricey of a home when you can build a
dream house for up to 25% off the total construction costs. What a deal!
