My wife and I are looking for a builder to get contracts done with and help us build it, but we would like to do a lot of the work ourselves to save money.
- My Dad is a carpenter, so I want to do the entire kitchen, flooring and skirting myself
My brother in law is a renderer, so we want to do the render ourselves
My best friend is an electrician
I want to use the eco-classic pvc windows and want to buy the windows direct from them
We may want to work directly with the HVAC contractor to get our healing / cooling done the way we want
We have an exact list of bathroom fittings and door hardware we want to use
If I can't make the budget work - I may also want to paint the house myself to save money
Anyone have suggestions on a builder that's flexible with these things?
Or would we be better off owner building given the amount of stuff we want to do ourselves, and just subing out the work we're not comfortable with?
We'd like to get started as soon as possible as we're shacked up at my mother in laws place, and I can't wait to get out.
We have a budget ready to go.
if you have recommendations - I would love to hear from you
