Product Details

Hire yourself as the contractor when you build or remodel your next house. You can save 10% to 35% on the project's cost, and you will be able to monitor the quality of the material and workmanship, fine-tune the design, and make sure that you love the end result.

There is no catch. Your success depends on your preparation, and that starts by reading this book. How to Be Your Own Contractor provides everything you need to know to get your house or renovation completed the way you want it while saving thousands. With the guidance of this book, you truly can be your own boss and get the end result you want.

Author Tanya R. Davis walks you through the planning an execution of your new home or renovation. You will learn about foundations, floors, walls, windows, roofing, plumbing, sewage, insurance, and much more. She also walks you through hiring subcontractors and how to evaluate their work.

The book does not stop at the conclusion. Davis arms you with a detailed list of resources and an extensive glossary. The accompanying CD-ROM also provides checklists that you can print out and use on your project today.
