Build Your Own Home! : A Concise Guide to Successfully Subcontracting and Building Your Own New Home

This home building manual is a concise guide to successfully subcontracting & building your own new home.

If you are thinking about building a new home, you need to start the process with this home building book.

DO NOT HIRE A BUILDER to build your new home until you've read the SECRETS in this exciting do-it-yourself subcontracting & home building guidebook. The specialized information in this book could save you thousands of dollars (typically 30%) in unnecessary home building costs, and you probably won't even have to pound a single nail!

Here are the facts:

If a builder is charging you $200,000 to build your home, you will probably save $60,000 by subcontracting and building it yourself.

If a builder is charging you $300,000 to build your home, you will probably save $90,000 by subcontracting and building it yourself.

The fact is that you CAN save about 30% of the cost of your new home by doing it yourself, and this book shows you how.

Using the process in this book, YOU are the general contractor and YOU will hire and manage the experts (your subcontractors) to do the actual construction work. YOU WILL BE THE BOSS of your hired experts --- your subcontractors!

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:

Q: I am not an expert in construction, so how can I build my own home?
A: If you follow the system in this book, you do not need to be an expert in construction. Your subcontractors will be your hired experts in the construction process. Your subcontractors have specialized knowledge of building codes, construction methods, and construction materials.

Q: Can I really save 30% if I build my own home with your system?
A: Of course you can. In fact, 30% is a typical and conservative estimate, and you may save even more. This is because when a builder charges you to build a home, they must also charge you for their business overhead expenses and profit. A builder's typical overhead expenses include their own salary, employee salaries, insurance, office expenses, rent, vehicle expenses, advertising, workers compensation, employee benefits, utilities, etc. By using the process in this book, you avoid these expenses & earn this extra 30% equity the instant you move into your new home.

Many people are doing this, and YOU CAN, TOO!
