Wanted to get some feedback on your thoughts about going for an owner build VS signing with an established builder like Clarendon, Eden Brae or Wisdom
First time building a house and bit confused on way ahead. The general feedback that I have so far is that going owner build will:
- Save money.....considerable amount.....approx 100K if planning to give 600K to an established builder for a similar build
- I can custom design the house plan
- Choose where end finishing etc of my choice
BUT
- Have headache of finding a good architect
- The headache of finding tradies
- Spend time managing the build
I am a Project Manager by trade so don't mind the managing side that much but finding good trustworthy architects and tradies will be a bother
THOUGHTS!!
