Build Your Own Home on a Shoestring
By Henry Nonnenberg Jr., Gwen Moran, and Chris Bradley
Build Your Own Home on a Shoestring takes you through each stage of the homebuilding process — from planning and financing to design and construction — showing you how to reduce costs along the way...and even eliminate some altogether. You’ll learn how to:
- Buy the right piece of land at the right price.
- Find the best loan and negotiate closing costs.
- Get free design and construction advice from professionals.
- Decide whether to hire a general contractor or contract some or all of the work yourself.
- Negotiate the best prices on materials and supplies.
- Avoid costly delays and changes.
Also covered are the many choices that you’ll encounter throughout the building process (and their impact on cost), letting you decide where to pay for top-of-the-line options and where to cut corners without compromising on the vision for your home. Whether you’re thinking about hiring a builder, picking up a hammer yourself or anything in between, read this book first.
