[QUOTE="74_Chevota, post: 643859, member: 316"] Yall are crazy or have way more time then me if you plan on GCing your own house build. I am in commercial construction for a living. Project manage millions of dollars worth or work at a time. Deal with GC's, Owners, and architects daily. Currently I am building a house and first thing i did was hire a GC. I dont have the time to make every little decision or be at the house every single day. Some weeks i dont make it by at all. He knows all the subs very well and when i dont like something it gets changed and usually without a cost associated. I do everything cost +. I know exactly what he is being paid and he has no incentive to gouge me or cheapen up my house to save a buck. He set an overall budget and so far he has been almost spot on. I see every invoice and approve them before we pay it. I did consider doing it myself for a short while, but my dad ended up talking some sense into me. If i can make more an hour at work than i am paying him to manage the job, then it was a good business decision. [/QUOTE]
