My wife and I bought the corner lot at Saratoga and Acoma in Havasu. Damon LaBlue, who's a boater and probably on this forum drew us up some nice plans. We are expecting approval from the City in the immediate future and are excited to get building.
I am kicking around the idea of doing it as an owner build to save money instead of just hiring a general. I am pretty comfortable with construction. My dad is a GC in in Parker, but he's building something for himself right now, and I would rather get started than wait for him to finish, because Mrs. Timmahhhh keeps finds houses here in our neighborhood that she wants to upgrade to, and if she gets one of those we don't get the Havasu house.
Me and my dad will probably do plumbing, electrical, and HVAC because there is so much markup on those, and finish because I like it, but I would be glad to hire most of the rest of it out.
Can anyone familiar with the trades out there drop names of some good subs that I should talk to as I go along?
I am going to need:
Grading on lot / Excavation for plumbing / slab
Concrete
Framing
Stucco
Drywall
Roofing
Tile
Countertops
Pool
I would appreciate any recommendations or connections you can help me make.
Thanks!
Maybe I am being ambitious but, I would really love to be able to use this by this time next year.
